Lieutenant-General Javed Nasir (Urdu: جاويد ناصر; HI(M)), is a now-retired engineering officer and former director-general of the Inter-Services Intelligence, directed from March 1992 until May 1993.
An educator and professor by profession, Nasir played an instrumental role in uniting the scattered mass of warring Mujahideen groups after the Soviet retreat, Nasir played an integrated role installing the first Mujahideen government in Afghanistan. Nasir played an active role on behalf of Bosnia and Herzegovina and provided logistics and ammunition supplies to Bosnian Army, while harboring Bosnian immigrants to Pakistan. Noted for being the first general to have a full-grown beard against military tradition of having only clean-shaved generals in the Pakistan Army, Nasir joined the Islamist parties after his military retirement and since has been an active writer on political Islam and Islamic parties in Pakistan.
career in the military[edit]
Javed Nasir passed the university entrance exams with high academics and enrolled in the prestigious Military College of Engineering to study engineering in 1954 at the same time, Nasir entered in the Pakistan Military Academy. In 1958, Nasir obtained B.Sc.(Hons) in Civil engineering and graduated from PMA in October 1958 in the 18th PMA Long Course. Ultimately, he was elevated to 2nd Lieutenant in the Pakistan Army and served in the 141st Engineer Brigade posted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
He took active participation in 1965 war and 1971 war with India. After the war, Nasir attended the National Defence University (NDU) and master's degree in Strategic studies. In 1978, Nasir went to Australia on deputation and attended the Australian Army Staff College where he gained master's degree in War studies and returned to Pakistan in 1980. He continued his service with Corps of Engineers and promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel and commanded the 107th Engineer Brigade in Karachi. In 1982, he was promoted to Colonel; and Brigadier in 1984. The same year he joined the faculty of NDU and served as Chief Instructor (CI) of the Armed Forces War College (afwc) at the National Defence University. He served there as CI for three and a half years from January 1984 to July 1987 before being promoted to two-star rank, Major-General. In 1987, he joined the ISI and subsequently served director of Joint Intelligence Technical (JIT), a department concerned with counter-proliferation and promotion of science and technology in the military.
On 4 September 1991, Chief of Army Staff General Mirza Aslam Beg approved to three-star promotion of Nasir and was elevated as Lieutenant General; he subsequently appointed as the Engineer-in-Chief of Corps of Engineers. This prestigious appointment remains short when chief of army staff general Asif Nawaz posted him to Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) as its chairman on 4 February 1992. On 14 March 1992, Prime minister Nawaz Sharif approved the appointment of Lieutenant-general Nasir as the director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) which he directed until his retirement from military service on 13 May 1993.
Ojhri Camp Cleanup[edit]
In 1988, as director of JIT, he was in charge to clean up the Ojhri Camp disaster. Against the estimated period of six months given by United States and French experts, he led his team to clean up the entire dump containing millions of blinds by setting a personal example of handling the highly sensitive blinds with his own hands, in a record period of just 15 days without suffering a single casualty.
Enforcement of Peshawar Accord[edit]
After reaching to three-star assignment and rank, a lieutenant-general, in 1991, he was appointed director general of the ISI on 14 March 1992. His first major role was to bring all the warring factions of the Afghan Mujahideen to agree to the Peshawar Accord and successfully install the Mujahideen's first government under Prime minister Sibghatullah Mojaddedi in Kabul.
Arms supply to Bosnian Muslims[edit]
During the Bosnian War of the 1990s, he helped supply arms to the Bosnian Muslims defying the UN embargo.[1] He airlifted sophisticated anti-tank guided missiles to Bosnian Muslims.[2]
Post-Army activities[edit]
In July 1997, the retired general became the chairman of Evacuee Trust Property Board, an organization which since its inception in 1960 had generated a total revenue of Rs. 1.17 billion. General Nasir, after taking over raised a total revenue of Rs. 1.225 billion in four years, exceeding the total revenue the department earned in the last 37 years.[citation needed]
During his tenure, the general learned the free hand RAW (Indian Intelligence) had been having since 1948 in the manipulation and control of the Sikh Pilgrims during the four religious functions, which Evacuee Trust Property Board used to arrange. In order to protect from the infiltrators, the general constituted a Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PGPC) in April 1999, which was given the responsibility of maintaining the Sikh Gurdawaras and holding the Sikh holy functions. The success of this organization is uncertain.
Allegations of fraud[edit]
On 25 August 2002, Pakistani newspapers wrongly published the headlines that Lieutenant General Javed Nasir and his team of elite officials including S.M Patwari and Khwaja Shahid Nazeer were among the key players, the General fled the country with Rs. 3.3 billion.[3] Nonetheless, the general not only claimed innocence, but also sued the press and the government. The News published the story on 24 August 2002, and reported that the general embezzled Rs. 3 billion and fled the country. The general clarified in a television interview on the same night that he did not commit any crime and did not flee the country, but was actually visiting Malaysia on a Tablighi mission. After this the government abandoned its investigations against the General.[4]
He has written over 100 articles. His pro-Islam, anti-India stance has created a very large readership in Pakistan and abroad.[citation needed]

Last week was a frustrating and busy week. We had company over, which was great, but also meant not eating quite as well and having a few drinks. Needless to say I did not track much (although our dinners at home were still quite good), and have gained back the slight loss that I had had after I recommitted. BUT I am not going to let this stop me. I will conquer this and I WILL win! I found a Kathy Smith strength training DVD (Lift Weights for Weight Loss 2) for $5 so I picked it up. I've done a couple sessions now and it's kicking my butt, which is what I need With the snow on the road I have had to take my workouts inside so I am doing my Leslie Sansone DVD right now and then the strength training one. I have some other cardio DVDs that I can do as well in order to change things up. It's interesting doing them with a 2 year old running around now but so far he has been really good about letting me get it done. Let's hope it keeps up this way! When I am stretching he loves to lay down on the floor next to me and try to do it as well, pretty cute.
On the plus side his sleeping is getting much better! Most nights he is only getting up once and at the most twice, which is so much nicer than every 2 hours! His foster mom and brother are coming for a visit this Friday. I am kind of nervous about it as we are in a good pattern right now and I have a feeling that this visit is going to set us back but I know that I cannot avoid it and its important for all of them to see that he is happy and doing well and its important for him to see that they have not disappeared from the face of the earth!
Today has been a frustrating day for me! Started out with the little one not wanting to eat breakfast, then late for a dentist appointment, then late for swimming lessons in which little one last all of 15 minutes! Thank goodness he is napping now!! I think things are feeling a bit overwhelming today as lack of sleep is catching up on me. He wakes up several times during the night and needs me to go in before he will go back to sleep. The last couple of nights he has even had his soother in his mouth or hand but still needs me to go in and turn on his musical seahorse. DH thinks I should let him be but seeing as he shares a room with the oldest one I don't want him waking up as well! This is new to me as both our other kids slept through the night early on and have always slept really well. Anyway, that's my rant for today.
The good thing is that even though I really want to I am not eating my way through this day! I even got my walk in this morning and am glad I did as it is now pouring out. I am determined to keep going with the progress I have made this week and get to where I want to be. This weekend will be a challenge as my SIL and MIL are coming for a visit and when they are down we don't always eat very well. I will plan as best as I can and keep going this week regardless of what the weekend may bring.
Can't believe it has only been a month since we first met our new son!! He has been home with us for 3 weeks already and it feels like he has been with us forever. Things are going really well. Everyone is adjusting well and although I am busier than before I am content, although tired as he does not sleep through the night. In the midst of all this I really slacked off on my tracking, exercising, and eating well. This Monday I decided to go back to the beginning and start all over again. So I am back in stage one of the Spark Diet and hoping to keep at it this time! My brother is getting married in May 2011 so my goal is to be able to rock it and feel great about how I will look in those pictures!
I started my Sparkpeople journey just over a year ago. I had been doing WeightWatchers online for the year before that and had managed to lose around 20 pounds over the course of the year. I switched to Spark for financial reasons fully expecting that I would lose the final few pounds and be able to keep it off. A year later, as a result of medication and lack of energy/enthusiasm caused in part by this medication, I am now heavier than I was when I started my original weight loss journey. I have trouble staying the course simply because many days I have very little energy due to the medication I have been on. I am weaning off this medication and waiting for my lidocaine infusions to begin. Today I am recommitting to this journey and to myself. I had decided this spring that I wanted to become a runner, however, my knees just can't handle it. I could not even do week 2 of the C25K program and be able to walk for the rest of the day or the day off I scheduled in between. I have decided that this is okay and I have to listen to my body! I am going to walk the 5K I have scheduled in October rather than run it and I am fine with that!! I will track my foods daily and get a walk in at least 4 days a week. I will feel good about myself regardless of what the scale says and I will remind myself that what I am doing is going to get and keep me healthy and active for the rest of my life!
So things have not been going according to plan around here. The scale is going in the wrong direction and my Couch to 5 k training has vanished completely. We recently purchase a new house and so I've been working hard there with the renovations we are doing before we move in. This week I also go back to work full time for 2 weeks so I know I won't be finding a way to get a run in along with work and renovations! My kids have been gone for 2 weeks and will be gone for another 2 weeks and while it is nice to have a break and be able to get things done without having them around I find that it is really hard to keep up with my eating plan. Since I know I have not been eating well I have not bothered with tracking because I don't really want to know just how bad I have been doing!!! I have been keeping up with getting enough water though, helps that it is mega hot here right now and that one of my medications gives me dry mouth I am hoping that with going to work I will be able to get into a better space for eating well. I pack my lunch and usually do a good job at keeping it healthy. The problem occurs when I get home and we want something quick to eat so we can get to the new house and work there. The last week of July is when I plan on getting back to my C25K. That gives me 9 weeks before my race so even though I will be starting all over again I will still be able to get it done! Hoping that the time crunch will also help motivate me when I don't feel like doing it!

5B Series Overview | 5B Series Model Definitions | Available 5B Series Modules | 5B Series Backplanes and Mounting Cards | 5B and 6B Series Power Supplies | 5B Series Accessories | 5B Series Configuration Guide | 5B Series Custom Configuration Ranges | All Series Modules
Functional Description
The 5B37 is a single-channel signal conditioning module that interfaces, amplifies and filters J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, and C-type thermocouple and provides an isolated and protected precision output of 0 to +5 V.
Accurate and System-Ready
Internal cold-junction compensation largely corrects errors arising from parasitic thermocouples formed by thermocouple connection to the input screw terminals, providing an accuracy of ±0.25°C @ +25°C ambient temperature. The module generates a predictable upscale signal to indicate an open thermocouple; for a downscale response, connect a 47 MΩ, 0.25 W resistor across screw terminals 1 and 3.
The 5B37 protects the computer side from damage due to field-side overvoltage faults. All models withstand 240 V rms at their input terminals without damage, thereby shielding computer-side circuitry from field-side overvoltage conditions. Further, the 5B37 is mix-and-match and hot-swappable with other 5B Series modules, so can be inserted or removed from any socket in the same backplane without disrupting system power.
Inside the 5B37 Module
A chopper-stabilized input amplifier provides low drift and stable gain. At the amplifier input, a stable, laser-trimmed zero-scale input voltage is subtracted from the input signal to set the zero-scale value. For user convenience, the zero can be optionally factory-set to meet custom needs. This allows suppression of a zero-scale input value many times larger than the total span for precise expanded-scale measurements.
Internal multi-pole lowpass filtering with a four-Hz cutoff (-3 dB) provides 60 dB of normal-mode rejection (noise on signal) and enhancement of common-mode rejection (noise on signal return) at 60 Hz, enabling accurate measurement of small signals in high electrical noise.
Signal isolation by transformer coupling uses a proprietary modulation technique for linear, stable and reliable performance. The differential input circuit on the field side is fully floating, eliminating the need for any input grounding. A demodulator on the computer side of the signal transformer recovers the original signal, which is then filtered and buffered to provide a low-noise, low-impedance output signal. The output common must be kept within 3 V of power common.
Convenience Features
A series output switch eliminates the need for external multiplexing in many applications. The switch is turned on by an active-low enable input. The enable input should be grounded to power common if the output need not be switched, as on the 5B01 and 5B08 backplanes.

"We believe it will make a significant contribution to energy and climate security, as well as developmental and economic objectives, for India and the international community."
He added: "India's clear commitment to a voluntary unilateral moratorium on nuclear testing Nuclear tests are experiments carried out to determine the effectiveness, yield and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. Throughout the twentieth century, most nations that have developed nuclear weapons have staged tests of them. is also important.
"Today's result represents a gain for the non-proliferation regime by bringing India further into the broader non-proliferation framework, a framework the UK firmly supports," he said.
NSG rules prohibit nuclear trading with India because it refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty, developed atomic bombs in secret and conducted its first nuclear test in 1974.

I've been buying laptops for 10 years now in education and gone through a lot of brands and products.
Basically we need a laptop for teachers that is robust, cheap, thin and quick to turn on. We already give them an option of an iPad if they want so have no interest in touchscreens or frankenstien windows 8 machines :)
So is this the best "standard" laptop ever?
Attachment 17803
Its £334 quid and works really well, very quick to boot and the best thing of all is they seem very very solidly built for such a lightweight machine. Not had a single one break yet.

Yennecott was name given to the land stretching from Orient Point to Wading River by the Corchaug Indians. Founded in 1640 as Southold, the Puritans who came from the colony of New Haven, settled the area and acquired title to the land. The Reverend John Youngs and his Puritan followers left New Haven in October of that year. Eventually, the Indians who originally owned the land were forced to leave or were enslaved.
By the 1670s, shipping had developed into a major industry as the only way to transport goods was by boat. Through the years, the governor of New York, at the time, required all ships to stop and clear through customs in New York to prevent smuggling. Shipping remained a major industry until the railroad arrived almost two centuries later.
The Revolutionary War left Southold for an empty town as most its people left for Connecticut, leaving the British to occupy Southold from 1776 through 1783 when the war ended.
In 1838, Greenport Village became a major shipping and whaling center, thus attracting most of Southold's shipping and ship building industry. With the advent of the Long Island Rail Road in 1844, the train was now the major transporter of goods and people. Southold had remained an agricultural town and with its history of horse racing, became the home of the breeding farms in the 19th Century.

Phases of Venus: Changes in Shape and Size
Galileo observed that, like the Moon, Venus had phases. His sightings led Galileo to question the established idea that everything in the universe orbited Earth. The cycle of phases of Venus noted by Galileo did not fit the pre-Copernican idea that all celestial bodies orbit Earth. However, they did fit with Copernicus's idea that Earth, Venus, and the other planets orbited the Sun.
In this project, you will model the phases of Venus as a morning and evening star. You will determine the position of Venus along its orbit by observing its phases. You will find its elongation, diameter, magnitude, and illumination. You will also learn about the planet's reflective surface.
Getting Started
Purpose: To model the phases of Venus, the morning star.
- lamp
- pencil
- 4-inch (10-cm) Styrofoam ball
- Set the lamp on a table and remove its shade.
- Insert the point of the pencil into the Styrofoam ball.
- Darken the room.
- Holding the pencil, position the ball in front of but below the bulb of the lamp.
- At a slight angle, slowly move the ball counterclockwise halfway around the light, stopping when the ball is behind and above the bulb ofthe light (see Figure 17.1). As the ball moves, note changes in the shape of its lighted side.
In front of and behind the lamp, the lighted side of the ball is not visible. As the ball moves, the lighted part increases in size and shape.
Venus's path about the Sun is inclined only about 3° , but due to the planet's distance from the Sun, it generally is above or below the Sun's disk at inferior and superior conjunction. The angle of Venus's orbit is exaggerated in this experiment. In this investigation, the ball represents Venus, the light is the Sun, and you are an observer on Earth. When Venus is at inferior conjunction, between the Sun and Earth, it cannot be seen. The illuminated side of the planet faces away from Earth. Also in this position, the Sun's glare prevents the planet from being seen. As Venus moves, more of its illuminated side faces Earth. The apparent form of the sunlit surface of Venus is called a phase. During the phases of growing illumination, Venus is said to be waxing. When the planet is almost fully sunlit, it disappears due to the brightness of the Sun's light. It then moves beyond the Sun. In this position, when the Sun lies between Venus and Earth, Venus is at superior conjunction. At conjunction, the Sun and Venus are on the same longitude lines but are not in a straight line as seen from Earth.
During its counterclockwise movement from inferior to superior conjunction, Venus appears to the west of the Sun as viewed from Earth. When Venus's elongation is great enough, Venus rises before the Sun. At this time, it rises before the Sun in the eastern sky and shines so brightly that it is misnamed the "morning star." After the Sun rises, the sunlight is so bright that Venus is no longer visible.
Try New Approaches
How do the phases change during the second half of Venus's orbit around the Sun? Repeat the experiment, starting at superior conjunction and moving the ball to inferior conjunction. During this part of Venus's orbit, illumination decreases and Venus is said to be waning. It appears to the east of the Sun as viewed from Earth and follows the Sun across the ecliptic. At this time, Venus can be seen above the western horizon in the evening after the Sun has set. In this position, Venus is called the "evening star." Science Fair Hint: Use a diagram to show the positions of Venus when it is a morning and an evening star.

An 18-year-old woman renting a Woodland Hills guesthouse shot to death her 31-year-old landlord Thursday after he forced his way into her home, physically attacked her and attempted to sexually assault her, police reported.
The tenant, Karen Walkden, used a shotgun she had purchased weeks earlier to protect herself from prowlers to fire one shot into the chest of James Galido, a stockbroker in the San Fernando Valley, said Detective Rick Swanston, of the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Homicide Unit.
Galido was pronounced dead within 10 minutes after the shooting inside the guesthouse, police said.
``She indicated that he was an intruder and that she had to shoot him in self-defense,'' Swanston said of the 2:30 p.m. shooting in the 22400 block of Dolorosa Street. ``He had made comments to her that led her to believe he was going to sexually assault her.''
The victim lived in a modest one-bedroom home about 50 feet in front of Walkden, who had only been living in the one-bedroom pastel yellow guesthouse for three months, the detective said.
The victim had asked the unemployed Walkden to move out because he believed she and her visiting boyfriend made too much noise, Swanston said. On Thursday, Walkden had given Galido and his newlywed wife, Yolanda, a written note, notifying them she would leave next week.
But later in the day, Walkden went outside to throw away her trash and while walking back into her home she turned around and saw Galido following her into the guesthouse against her will, Swanston said.
The landlord argued with Walkden in her living room, saying he was upset she had given notice to move, Swanston said.
When Walkden told him to leave, Galido grabbed her and attempted to rape her, but she broke loose and ran into her room, Walkden told police. Galido followed her, telling her she had no way to escape.
Walkden then retrieved a loaded shotgun, police said. As she turned around, Galido charged her, grabbing her arm, and the gun fired.
Walkden called police after the shooting and said she had killed her landlord, said Officer Carol Mitchell of LAPD's Press Relations unit.
Walkden was detained for questioning at the West Valley station but not arrested. ``It would appear that the evidence supports her account,'' Swanston said.
The shooting remained under investigation Thursday night.
Neighbors reacted in shock over the ordeal, saying that beyond petty theft, this was the first serious incident to stain their street.
``No way! No way! No way!'' said one neighbor, Bill Lagoy, who has known the couple since they moved to the street about three years ago.
``It's horrible. I can't believe this,'' Lagoy said. ``They seem very sweet, very mellow, very normal. They were very nice.''
The license plate to Galido's Honda parked in the driveway read, ``HEDNEST.''

First Round of Snow: Thursday-Friday
Spring has arrived, but the feel of winter is not going anywhere soon as we track a couple of potential snowmakers through the weekend ahead.
(MORE: March 2013 Nothing Like 2012)
Snow Forecast
Snow Forecast
First up, a disturbance aloft will move from the central Plains into the Southeast. This system will move into cold air supplied by a jet stream dip over the Great Lakes to result in a band of snow from parts of eastern Kansas and western/southern Missouri to northern Arkansas and western Tennessee Thursday into Thursday night.
(MAP: Current Radar | Weather Alerts)
Snow accumulations from this disturbance are expected to be in a small, confined region. The most significant snow totals will likely be in the Ozarks across southern Misssouri and northern Arkansas, where amounts of 5 inches or more are possible. Some sleet and freezing rain may also fall, which could reduce the potential snow amounts. If snowfall rates are heavy enough, we may see accumulations on roads, leading to dangerous travel conditions.
(CITIES: Branson | Springfield | Jonesboro)
A little sleet or snow mixed with rain could reach as far east as northern Alabama and northern Georgia Thursday night through early Friday. Significant accumulations are not expected.
As we head into the weekend, a more widespread swath of snow may spread across the country from the next weather system in pipeline.

After Coal, W.Va. Push For Natural Gas Trust Fund
Kessler is still crafting his Future Fund proposal for the 2014 legislative session that opens in January. He said he's leaning toward presenting it as a proposed constitutional amendment. His call for a trust fund would go on next year's ballot for voters to decide if it clears the Legislature.
His proposed endowment would be built with a portion of oil and natural gas severance tax collections. Severance taxes, including those on coal and other natural resources, are a big part of the state budget. They contributed an estimated $462 million, or 11 percent, to total general tax revenues in the fiscal year that ended in June.
The trust could not be tapped for a specified number of years and would be limited to supporting a few needs including education, economic development or tax relief once it became accessible.
Kessler said constitutional protections would lock down the fund from lawmakers and interest groups tempted to pry it open prematurely to spend money elsewhere. "I don't want it to be willy nilly, people using it for pet projects," he said.He notes that places such as Alaska are already benefiting handsomely from their funds. Supported by about 30 percent of all mineral royalties the state receives, the Alaska Permanent Fund is invested in a broad portfolio and recently had an unaudited market value of $46.6 billion. Dividends, coming from investment profits, are paid each year to most Alaskans. Last year, the payment amounted to $878 per person. Principal can't be spent. Then there is North Dakota. Kessler recently led a group of West Virginia lawmakers there to study state's legacy fund. In 2010, North Dakota voters approved their Legacy Fund, which has been rising faster than predicted with booming oil production. Oil and gas revenue that began gushing in only since September 2011 had topped $1.3 billion as of last month. The fund gets 30 percent of the state's oil and gas tax collections. None of the money can be spent until 2017, and only then if the Legislature decides by a two-thirds vote to dip into it.

When Expedia phone reps ( four phone calls / three hours later) say they are going to put you on hold to get further support, god forbid the call drop. You will go back into a long que, and while customer service reps say they will call you back, three reps did not. Finally, after a supervisor got on, he was able to call me back (thank you!). It is clear to me that due to sheer call volume, calling customers back is not Expedia's best strength. Best to not have itinerary changes, as not only… Read Full Review

SOREL, a premium boot brand founded in 1962, announces its Fall/Winter 2012 brand campaign titled, " Get Your Boots Dirty™." The campaign debuts in web-based video and print this month. Get Your Boots Dirty reflects the spirit of a brand that has forged beyond its outdoor heritage by showing how fashion and function beautifully co-exist. The campaign shows fiercely independent, creative and inspiring women from diverse disciplines who are living out their passions. The 2012 campaign launch features Leila Janah, founder and CEO of Samasource. Janah is igniting change via her non-profit that creates jobs for people in countries where there is little opportunity. Janah is the first of many real women who will be featured in SOREL's Get Your Boots Dirty campaign.

To further extend the Get Your Boots Dirty campaign, SOREL introduces a new social media campaign and video series, titled SORELstyle (#SORELstyle). Using Facebook, Pinterest, Polyvore, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to expand the campaign across multiple platforms, SORELstyle features stylists curating inspired looks with SOREL boots. The series launches with Kemal Harris, from the celebrity styling duo Kemal & Karla, as she shares fresh ideas on how to wear SOREL's Fall/Winter 2012 collection. SORELstyle will launch in September 2012 and continue year-round, showcasing looks from diverse and independent thinkers within the fashion community.
"Get Your Boots Dirty celebrates women who make the world a more interesting place," said Kimberly Barta, SOREL's senior global brand director. "Women tell us they feel a sense of fearlessness and strength when they put on boots. We want to tell the stories of inspirational women, like Leila and Kemal, who are getting their boots dirty by putting their passions to work."

Fall 2007
E 314L • Literary Contests and Contexts (Honors)
par 310
Course Description
Restricted to Plan I Honors students.
Designed primarily for potential English majors, this course is directed toward developing and honing your critical reading and writing skills. Although our main focus will be on works of fiction, we will be making sidetrips into poetry, drama, film, and non-fiction prose as well. For each work that we study, we will examine its stylistic and aesthetic elements, its literary and historical contexts, and the cultural contests it has inspired and provoked. Secondary criticism will feature various approaches, including Marxist, Feminist, Psychoanalytic, Deconstructionist, and New Historicist.
Initially, the basic skills of close reading will constitute our chief concern. Virginia Woolf's essay "How to Read a Book" will provide us with a point of departure, and then we will look to other critical voices to engage them in dialogue with our own views. The vast holdings of the Humanities Research Center will also serve us well, particularly as we establish biographical and historical contexts for each of our texts. Our use of film adaptation will not be exhaustive but representative (and part of the repertoire from which you will be selecting your first oral report). The second oral report will serve as a spur to the writing of your seminar paper at course end.
Since this is a substantial writing component course, we will devote considerable class and conference time to your papers as they move through several draft stages. We will also address questions of academic discourse and attend to the appropriate research tools to help you support and defend your own arguments effectively.
Grading Policy
Two short (4-5 page) papers 20% each
One longer (8-10 page) seminar paper 35%
Two oral reports 10% total
Class participation, in-class writing, attendance 15%
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
M.H. Abrams, A Glossary of Literary Terms
Poetry packet--to be determined by class
Drama--one play determined by class vote
Films--adaptations available for all the novels listed above
