Serb-Albanian film bemoans sour "Honeymoon" in West
By Benet Koleka
TIRANA (Reuters Life!) - They may be divided by geography and politics, but Serbs and Albanians share the same sour fate on screen when they go abroad in a first film collaboration between filmmakers of the two nations.
"Honeymoon," made by acclaimed Serbian film director Goran Paskaljevic alongside the Albanian writing and producing team of Genc Permeti and Ilir Butka, follows the journeys of two young couples -- one from each country -- whose dreams of seeking success in Europe end in parallel lines of disillusion.
The 61-year-old Paskaljevic said the idea for the film came to him after he began visiting Albania two years ago. It was then he realized that Serbs and Albanians were very similar, despite the divisive nationalism fueled by politicians.
"We are Balkaners, we share a similar mentality but we do not know each other. I sincerely believe that if we knew each other we would understand each other better," Paskaljevic said.
Albania and Serbia are at odds over the future of Kosovo, a former province of Serbia with a 90 percent ethnic Albanian majority that declared its independence in February.
Belgrade considers Kosovo to be the cradle of its history and fiercely opposes independence. The 100,000 or so Serbs still living in Kosovo oppose the secession with the backing of Moscow and Belgrade. In 1999, Serbian troops accused of carrying out a campaign of killing, torture and destruction against ethnic Albanians were expelled from Kosovo by a NATO air war.
"My strong feeling is that we have to collaborate. In culture it is maybe easier to open the door, as in the case of 'Honeymoon'. It is a symbolic title that goes very well with the story of the film also," Paskaljevic told Reuters this week.
Scriptwriter Permeti said he was drawn to Paskaljevic's work after he saw the 2004 movie "Midwinter's Night Dream" and was impressed by "his courage to speak with political metaphors." Continued...

Feliway collars/diffusers...
I have a question for anyone who's used it: do the Feliway diffusers and/or collars work? My cat has separation anxiety, and acts as though he might be bi-polar after being abused by his previous owner. He frequently takes his fear and anger out on me (i'm guessing it's because his previous owner was a woman). It's gotten better than it was, but I want something to help him. I love him, and refuse to get rid of him because of his emotional problems, but I want him to not be so stressed, so that he's happier. It would also make it SO MUCH easier for me. I did have a vet recommend it, but it was one of the ones that the local Pet Smart employs, so I'm not sure about his reliability. I really appreciate it. I did buy a collar to try the other day, but I want to check if it works before shelling out the money for a diffuser. Again, much appreciated.

Carly is a rescue and my vet also recommended the Feliway diffusers. My vet is a cat specialist. The important thing to know is that it can take more than a month to have the full effect so plan on buying refills. I recommend Amazon.com because they are cheaper. I also used a calming collar www.amazon.com It is hard to say if it helped or if Carly was just coming along on her own anyway but I really think it did. I'm not sure how long you've had Fuzzy but I have been working with Carly since August and she is much better but still has issues. Her problem is not me. She loves people. She just hates cats, which is kind of a problem because I have 9 others. But she has reached the point where several of them can pass her without her having a hissy fit. Some things just take time and patience.

If you don't want to buy the diffuser yet, you can try other calming sprays first. I have used PETfection Calming Spray for dogs before, so you could try their cat version. It is 100% Organic so you can spray it directly onto him or onto his bed, toys, etc. Breathing in the scent will hopefully make him feel more relaxed. Best of luck!

From Djuna Barnes's Ladies Almanack.
Like most Real Americans, I like to go to the bookstore on my birthday. At my favorite spot, I picked up Djuna Barnes's Ladies Almanack, which intrigued me with its weird shape, odd typeset, strange conceit, and wonderful opening line: "Now this be a Tale of as fine a Wench as ever wet Bed." Oh, and illustrated by Barnes too:
Sheppard Lee by Robert Montgomery Bird: This one looks fascinating. NYRB's blurb:
Robert Montgomery Bird's Sheppard Lee is a scathingly humorous and utterly original novel out of Andrew Jackson's America, the story of an incorrigible loafer who inadvertently discovers the power to project his soul into dying men's bodies and to take over their lives. So gifted, Sheppard Lee sets off in pursuit of happiness, only to find himself thwarted at every turn. In growing desperation he shifts from body to body, now a rich man and now poor man, now a madman and now a slave, a bewildered spirit trapped in the dark maze of American identity.
Also: Evaristo Carriego, a study of the poet by Jorge Luis Borges.
And The Bark Tree, also translated as Witch Grass. I don't know if this is the right starting place for Queneau, but it was a nice used New Directions edition, so, hey.
From "Malcolm Lowry: A Remininiscence," the final chapter of David Markson's Malcolm Lowry's Volcano, a study of Under the Volcano:
His big books, however, would at the moment remain these: Moby-Dick, Blue Voyage, the Grieg, Madame Bovary, Conrad (particularly The Secret Agent), O'Neill, Kafka, much of Poe, Rimbaud, and of course Joyce and Shakespeare. The Enormous Room is a favorite, as is Nightwood. Kierkegaard and Swedenborg are the philosophers most mentioned, and in another area William James and Ouspensky. Also Strindberg, Gogol, Tolstoy.
Lifting a Maupassant from the shelf (nothing has been said of the man before this): "He is a better writer than you think."

Fox's Resident Former Nixon Aide Calls IRS The "Most Dangerous Scandal In U.S. History"
Fox News contributor Monica Crowley downplayed the actions of former President Richard Nixon and fabricated President Obama's White House ties to controversial actions by the Internal Revenue Service to claim that the recent controversy constitutes the "most dangerous scandal in U.S. history."
Crowley served as a foreign policy aide [1] to Nixon after he resigned in disgrace from the presidency. Conservative media have frequently made [2] absurd and ahistorical comparisons [3] between Nixon and Obama that rely on ignorant interpretations of the actions of both presidents.
On the July 15 edition of Fox News' Your World, Crowley highlighted recent allegations that the IRS improperly gave heightened scrutiny to conservative groups seeking nonprofit status. Suggesting that the Obama White House must have been involved, Crowley compared those allegations unfavorably to what she claimed were the actions of Nixon, saying that while Nixon had been "talking about using the IRS to go after a political enemy," the IRS under Obama "was used for political purposes to target entire swaths of society."
Crowley's comparison is nonsensical. There is no evidence [4] that President Obama or White House aides were involved in the alleged improper behavior, a fact that leading [5] conservative pundits [6] and Republican [7] politicians have acknowledged [8]. In fact, recent disclosures indicate that the IRS may have also targeted progressive groups [9], undermining the allegations that conservatives have promoted for months [10].
By contrast, Nixon, on tape, personally urged [2] his attorney general to go after the income taxes of his political enemies. His White House counsel, John Dean, gave the head of the IRS an envelope of the names of Nixon's political enemies, with clear implication [2] that his agency should investigate those individuals. Dean also devised a memorandum [3] titled "Dealing with our political enemies," which urged the use of "the available political machinery to screw our political enemies." Other Nixon aides were involved in plots [3] to break into the Democratic offices in the Watergate Hotel and the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist (which occurred), and to murder journalists and firebomb the Brookings Institution (which thankfully did not).
In short, Nixon and his top aides were deeply and directly involved in massive illegality [11]. There's no evidence Obama or his aides were involved in activity whose illegality is under question. But that's not the story former Nixon aide Crowley wants to tell.

Now I know it will fit with mods, or hell might even be a bolt up (doubt it) But can anyone with a ZX11 give me some advice.
It IS going to happen, I just need to tips and tricks.
1990 Zx11 HP was 145 and torque was at 80lbs...so...anyone?

We put an older air cooled GSX-R 1100 in my son's 600 Katana but that's a bolt up with a little top frame brace modification. The top of the engine and maybe the width is probably going to hang you up. You'll need a ZX-11 header to fit the engine. I got one left over when I bought my Muzzy system.

Inevitably this summer, someone will
encounter a bee in the wading pool, forget to re-apply sunscreen,
or tramp through the wrong part of the forest.
We all know to have ice,
over-the-counter pain relievers, lotions and antihistamines ready.
But a treasure trove of quick-acting treatment options is right in
the kitchen.
By Ashley Talmadge
A bee stings once, but leaves its stinger behind. Remove the
stinger as quickly as possible. Wasps and hornets do not leave
their stingers behind and may sting multiple times, so leave the
area before starting treatment.
Make a thick paste using water and one
of the following ingredients. Apply directly to the wound and
leave on for about 20 minutes.
Or try one of these plant-based items:
Many of the remedies used for stings may also be used
to treat the itchy bites of insects such as mosquitoes, horse flies
and black flies. Additional remedies for itching include:
A cool bath often is the best way to relieve
sunburned skin. Many believe in the addition of oatmeal, baking
soda, or vinegar as a soothing agent. After a soak, try one of
these home remedies:
It is essential to wash well with soap and water to
remove any oily residue from the skin. After that, a cooling bath
can work wonders. Bath additives like oatmeal and baking soda work
well. Try Epsom salts, buttermilk or mint tea as soothing
additions. After dabbing the rash dry, try applying one of the
following to dry the outbreak and speed healing:

TRIER (Trèves) city in Germany and formerly also a bishopric. Archaeological evidence seems to point to the presence of Jews in Trier as early as the end of the third century C.E. In its eventful history, Trier has served, among other purposes, as the seat of government for the Western Roman Empire; in the Middle Ages, it received the name "holy city"; it has survived many wars as a border city between Germany and France, and is today a university city in the heart of Europe.
The Roman colony of Augusta Treverorum (Trier) was founded by Augustus in 16 BC. Trier became a favored residence of several Roman emperors, including Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor.
- The greatest collection of Roman remains to be found anywhere north of the Alps is in Trier, which bills itself as Germany's oldest city.
- According to an ancient legend, this was founded around 2000 BC by Trebeta, son of Semiramis, the Queen of Assyria.
- However, actually documented is that the city, then called August Treverorum, was established in 16 BC by the Roman emperor Augustus near the site of an earlier Celtic settlement.
Karl Marx and His Home City
No other person influenced the history of the 19th and 20th centuries as did Karl Marx who was born in Trier on May 5, 1818, as the third child of the lawyer Heinrich Marx and his wife Henrietta. The parents came from an extremely traditional rabbi's family, converted, however, under the rule of Prussia to Protestantism because the father would otherwise not have been able to continue his career as a lawyer in the Prussian legal system.
Karl Marx's birthplace, a museum today stands in Brückenstrasse 10. But the family did not live there very long: In 1819, they moved to a small house in Simeonstrasse.
That the founder of "scientific" socialism originated in Catholic Trier of all places and furthermore from a middle class family was and partially still is considered a paradox. But, if the situation is viewed more closely, the city at that time was almost predestined to offer up revolutionare impulses: After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Trier was turned over to Prussian rule, exposing the city to religious and political oppression and economic decline.
Prussian customs policies prohibited the wine growers from trading with the westerns neighbors (France) and hampered the selling of wine in Prussia itself. The heavy burden of high taxes and the continually rising prices led to great economic deprivation: In 1831, almost a third of the inhabitants lived at or below the subsistence level. The social situation and the political tension with the Prussian state weighed on the young Karl Marx, who moved to Bonn to study law after he finished the Trier grammar school in 1835 and then, one year later, on to Berlin.
Trier's "Judengasse" leads into the former medieval Jewish Quarter. Locally produced weights with Hebrew inscriptions show that there were Jews in Trier as early as the first or second century. Starting with the eleventh century, we have records of a Jewish community in Trier, and in 1235 four Jews had four houses built on the left of the later Judengasse. The cellars are still the original ones; in the Pub »Abwaerts«, you can still see the walled-up entrance to a flight tunnel leading to the Cathedral Close.
The Jews were expelled from Trier in 1418. Many Jews went east; Yiddish has preserved traces of Trier Middle High German up to today. When the Jews were called back after 1600, they settled in different parts of the city. After the Holocaust of the Nazi era, the Jewish community in Trier is quite small (the New Synagogue is located in Kaiserstrasse).

"Treves" Family Name
Family which has produced scores of scholars, rabbis, and communal workers. It is usually assumed that the family's origins were in-:
1. Troyes, France, Rashi's birthplace, from where it spread throughout Italy and Germany.
2. Others hold that it came from Treviso near Venice, Italy, in the 14th century.
3. A third opinion is that it originated in Trier (Germany), called Trèves in French. In France members of the family were called Triverzans and in Germany, Drifzan - Dreyfuss.

Even though no precise launch date for the HTC One has been announced, one particular Radio Shack is so excited to be offering the 4.7 inch device with the industry leading 468ppi pixel density, that it has already put up signage for the phone. And that is good for us because it allows us to see two additional pieces of information pertaining to the launch by Radio Shack. First, we should point out that the device being displayed is Sprint's version of the HTC One and it looks like the price is gong to be $199.99 with a two year contract. That price point might help HTC in its battle with Samsung as AT&T is apparently going to be asking $249.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 with a signed two-year pact. Assuming that these two prices hold up for the HTC One on AT&T and the Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon and Sprint, and this little battle is going to be very interesting.
Meanwhile, the HTC One sign put up at that unnamed Radio Shack also reveals that those buying the phone who agree to be handcuffed for two years, will receive a $50 Google Play gift card, which will come in handy no doubt. And in addition, the Shack is offering buyers a $10 coupon to HTC One buyers that you could use the next time you need batteries.

Centerboard handle
I just purchased a Tartan 34C and it is missing the handle to position the centerboard from the cockpit. Anyone know where I can get one?
Have you tried a plain old 3/8" drive or 1/2" drive ratchet?
I can use a standard 3/8 drive ratchet from the back side (inside salon) but I am looking for the factory device to lower it from the cockpit. It looks like a smooth, round stainless rod at the attachment point. I guess I need to take it apart and examine it to see if I can fabricate something to use from the cockpit. Just would be easier to obtain the device Tartan provided with the boat 30 years ago. This boat had one but someone evidently wanted it and removed it from the cockpit while it was in the slip.
Have you tried to contact Tartan? They may still have the part in stock or know of a souree for it.

Finan Leads Cross Country At Great Lakes Regional Meet
Nov. 12, 2011
TOLEDO - University of Cincinnati senior Eric Finan (New Richmond, Ohio/New Richmond) was the second overall finisher at the NCAA Great Lakes Region men's cross country championship meet Saturday, likely qualifying him for the NCAA men's cross country national championship meet.
Finan's result led the Bearcats to a 10th-place team finish in the meet which was hosted by the University of Toledo at the Ottawa Park Golf Course.
Callum Hawkins of Butler was the top individual finisher, covering the 10,000-meter course in 30:01.5. Finan was just over seven seconds behind at 30:08.8. Oliver Book was UC's No. 2 runner, finishing 54th in 31:35.4. Kevin Fink was 70th in 31:53.5, Chase Beckmann was 91st in 32:16.5 and Evan Baum rounded out UC scoring runners, finishing 108th in 32:32.9. Matt Collmar was 146th at 33:22.3 and Tyler Ross was 192nd at 35:08.2.
The Bearcats men's team finished in 11th place with 325points, just one point behind 10th-place Purdue and three spots ahead of their Great Lakes Region ranking of 14th. Wisconsin, the region's and nation's No. 1-ranked team in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) won the men' team title with 50 points, placing its five scoring runners in the top 12 and all seven runners in the top 50. Indiana was second with 70 points, Michigan placed third with 104 and Notre Dame was fourth with 119.
The UC women's team finished 19th in the 33-team field. Alison Zukowski was the top finisher for the Bearcats, covering the 6,000-meter course in 21:59.2. Emily Clay was the second UC runner to cross the line, finishing 69th in 22:06.1. Bridget Connelly was 137th in 23:07.6, Kaitlyn Meyer was 140th in 23:08.5 and Jill Glassmeyer was UC's final scoring runner in 144th place in 23:13.7. Lauren Goodwin was 150th in 23:24.8 and Cortney Staruch was 172nd in 23:56.4.
Michigan had the top two individual finishers and won the women's team title with 45 points. Michigann State was second with 77 points and Toledo third with 84.
Formal selections for the November 21 NCAA cross country championships, to be held in Terre Haute, Ind., will be announced on November 13.

Androgen deprivation therapy, one of the standard treatments for prostate cancer, induces apoptosis as well as autophagy in androgen-responsive PCa cells. As modulation of autophagy is a new paradigm for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of various cancer therapies, we sought to determine the functions of autophagy during androgen deprivation. In this study, we confirmed that androgen removal or inhibition induces autophagy in two different hormone sensitive prostate cancer cells. Androgen deprivation also caused depletion of lipid droplets which was abrogated on inhibition of autophagy by pharmacological means (3-methyladenine, bafilomycin A1) or using a genetic approach (Atg5 siRNA). In addition, colocalization of lipid droplets and autophagic vesicles was observed in LNCaP cells, which was further enhanced by blocking the autophagic flux. These findings suggest that autophagy mediates lipid droplet degradation and lipolysis in androgen sensitive prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine during androgen deprivation synergistically killed LNCaP cells in a dose and time dependent manner. We further confirmed that chloroquine caused accumulation of autophagosomes and decreased cytosolic ATP levels. Moreover, chloroquine induced apoptosis in androgen deprived LNCaP cells. These findings suggest that chloroquine may be used as an adjuvant in hormone therapy to improve therapeutic efficacy.

1. Plan a landscape and work from this plan. Many landscapes develop over time based upon plants that are given to the homeowner or are bought on impulse. The result can be a hodge-podge of plants with no unity of design. Some landscapes look like a truck loaded with nursery stock crashed in the yard and plants fell out. Take the time to develop a landscape plan that includes ideas for expansion, and add plants as time and the budget allows. This helps when shopping at the nurseries; it creates a shopping list with plants needed instead of buying whatever plant that is in bloom.

South Africa won by an innings and 48 runs to clinch the series 2-0 after bowling out Bangladesh for 131 in their second innings. They won the first Test in Bloemfontein by an innings and 129 runs.
South Africa's pace attack put the tourists under pressure from the start of their second innings and Bangladesh contributed to their own downfall with three run-outs, two from direct hits from the deep as the batsmen attempted second runs.
It was a disappointing ending for Bangladesh who briefly held the upper hand on the second day when they reduced South Africa to 134 for five after making 250 in their first innings.
Ashwell Prince and Mark Boucher turned the match decisively in the home side's favour with a South African record sixth wicket partnership of 271.
Prince made a career-best 162 not out while Boucher scored 117. Left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan took three wickets in four balls yesterday morning to spark a collapse in which South Africa lost their last five wickets for 24 runs.
Shakib finished with six for 99, his second haul of five wickets or more in two innings during the series. Bangladesh started their second innings with only four overs remaining before lunch but it was enough for Makhaya Ntini to claim the wicket of Imrul Kayes, caught at first slip.
First innings top scorer Junaid Siddique was subjected to a barrage of short-pitched bowling before he gloved a lifting delivery from Jacques Kallis to gully.
Tamim Iqbal twice needed treatment after being hit on the fingers before he slashed at a lifting ball from Morne Morkel and was spectacularly caught by a diving Neil McKenzie at gully.
Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful was then involved in two run-outs. Mehrab Hossain was the victim when Ashraful called for a second run and Hashim Amla hit the stumps at the bowler's end from backward square leg.
Two overs later Ashraful himself was run out after he turned Morkel to the legside and failed to complete a second run before Dale Steyn's throw from deep fine leg hit the stumps.
Shakib Al Hasan cut Morkel to deep backward point as Bangladesh slumped to 95 for six at tea, When Mushfiqur Rahim padded up to Ntini's first ball after the break Bangladesh were doomed, although Mashrafe Mortaza frustrated the bowlers with some adventurous hitting to make 23 not out off 21 balls.

China's trade picks up, inflation eases
China's trade picked up and inflation eased in January as a shaky economic recovery gained traction.
Much of the change was due to the Lunar New Year holiday, which distorts China's economic data each year. But analysts said data reported Friday looked promising.
Export growth accelerated to 25 percent from the previous month's 14.1 percent as companies rushed to fill orders before shutting down for a holiday break of up to two weeks. Import growth accelerated to 28 percent, more than quadruple the previous month's 6 percent.
China's trade growth has rebounded in recent months in a sign of economic recovery but longer-term trade measures are likely to show lower growth than January's double-digit increase. Analysts say the recovery will be gradual and too weak to support a global rebound without improvement in the United States and Europe.

Yesterday I gave a talk called "Group and Method: Collaboration in the Digital Humanities" at Case Western Reserve University's Freedman Center Colloquium on "Exploring Collaboration in Digital Scholarship." Drawing on my research for "Computing and Communicating Knowledge" and for a series of blog posts, I discussed why collaboration is so common in digital humanities (although of course not all DH work is necessarily collaborative); explored the significance of collaboration in projects to build digital resources, devise new research methods, and promote participatory humanities; and explored challenges to collaboration. I also described how my experiences as a grad student in English convinced me of the value of collaboration–particularly my membership in a dissertation group (I was thrilled that my fellow diss group member Amanda French also gave a talk at the colloquium) and my work at Virginia's Etext Center.
Here is the pdf of the slides.

On Saturday, March 2, I gave a workshop on digital (humanities) pedagogy for a group of about 20 faculty and staff at Gettysburg College. I was impressed by the participants' energy, openness, smarts, and playfulness. We had fun!
I designed the workshop so that it moved through four phases, with the goal of participants ultimately walking away with concrete ideas about how they might integrate digital approaches into their own teaching:
1) We explored the rationale for digital pedagogy (pdf of slides), discussing what students need to know in the 21st century, different frameworks for digital pedagogy (e.g. learning science, liberal education, social learning, and studio learning), and definitions of digital pedagogy and the "digital liberal arts." I started the session with Cathy Davidson's exercise in which audience members first jot down on an index card three things they think students need to know in order to thrive in the digital age, then share their ideas with someone they didn't walk in with, and finally work together to select the one key idea. (The exercise got people thinking and talking.)
2) In the second session, I gave a brief presentation (pdf) offering specific case studies of digital pedagogy in action (repurposing some slides I'd used for previous workshops). Participants then broke up into groups to analyze an assignment used in a digital humanities class.
3) Next participants worked in small groups to explore one of the following:
I structured the exercise so that participants first looked at the particular applications of the tool in teaching and scholarship (e.g. Mapping the Republic of Letters and Visualizing Emancipation in the session on information visualization), then played with a couple of tools in order to understand how they work, and finally reflected on the advantages and disadvantages of each tool and their potential pedagogical applications. I deliberately kept the exercises short and simple, and I tried to make them relevant to Gettysburg, drawing data from Wikipedia and other open sources.
4) Finally participants worked in small teams (set up according to discipline) to develop an assignment incorporating digital approaches. We concluded the session with a modified gallery walk, in which people circulated through the room and chatted with a representative of each team to learn more about their proposed assignment.
By the end of the day, workshop participants seemed excited by the possibilities and more aware of specific approaches that they could take (as well as a bit exhausted). I got several questions about copyright, so in future workshops I plan to incorporate a more formal discussion of fair use, Creative Commons and the public domain.
Our workshop drew heavily on materials shared by generous digital humanities instructors. (In that spirit, feel free to use or adapt any of my workshop materials. And I'm happy to give a version of this workshop elsewhere.) My thinking about digital humanities pedagogy has been informed by a number of people, particularly my terrific colleague Rebecca Davis.

On February 23, I was honored to speak at an Invited Symposium on Digital Humanities at the American Philosophical Association's Central Division Meeting in New Orleans. Organized by Cameron Buckner, who is a Founding Project Member of InPhO and one of the leaders of the University of Houston's Digital Humanities Initiative, the session also featured great talks by Tony Beavers on computational philosophy and David Bourget on PhilPapers.
One of the central questions that we explored was why philosophy seems to be less visibly engaged in digital humanities; as Peter Bradley once wondered, "Where Are the Philosophers?" As I noted in my talk, the NEH's Office of Digital Humanities has only awarded 5 grants in philosophy (4 out of 5 to Colin Allen and colleagues on the InPhO project). Although the APA conference was much smaller than MLA or AHA, I was still surprised that there seemed to be only two sessions on DH, compared to 66 at MLA 2013 and 43 at AHA 2013.
Yet there are some important intersections among DH and philosophy. Beavers pointed to a rich history of scholarship in computational philosophy. With PhilPapers, philosophy is ahead of most other humanities disciplines in having an excellent online index to and growing repository of research. Most of the same challenges faced by philosophers with an interest in DH apply to other domains, such as figuring out how to acquire appropriate training (particularly for graduate students), recognizing and rewarding collaborative work, etc.
My talk was a remix and updating of my presentation "Why Digital Humanities?" In exploring the rationale for DH, I tried to cite examples relevant to philosophy. For example, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, a dynamic online encyclopedia that predates Wikipedia, has had a significant impact, with an average of nearly a million weekly accesses during the academic year. With CT2.0, Peter Bradley aims to create a dynamic, modular, multimedia, interactive, community-driven textbook on critical thinking. Openness and collaboration also inform the design of Chris Long and Mark Fisher's planned Public Philosophy Journal, which seeks to put public philosophy into practice by curating conversations, facilitating open review, encouraging collaborative writing, and fostering open dialogue. Likewise, I described how Transcribe Bentham is enabling the public to help create a core scholarly resource. I also discussed recent critiques of DH, including Stephen Marche's "literature is not data," the 2013 MLA session on the "dark side" of DH, and concerns that DH risks being elitist. I closed by pointing to some useful resources in DH and calling for open conversation among the DH and philosophy communities. With that call in mind, I wonder: Is it the case that philosophy is less actively engaged in digital humanities? If so, why, and what might be done to address that gap?

Last week I was delighted to be back at my old stomping grounds at Rice University's Digital Media Commons to lead a workshop on "Doing Things with Text." The workshop was part of Rice's Digital Humanities Bootcamp Series, led by my former colleagues Geneva Henry and Melissa Bailar. I hoped to expose participants to a range of approaches and tools, provide opportunities for hands-on exploration and play, and foster discussion about the advantages and limitations of text analysis, topic modeling, text encoding, and metadata. Although we ran out of time before getting through my ambitious agenda, I hope my slides and exercises provide useful starting points for exploring text analysis and text encoding.

In 1813, Thomas Jefferson declared in a letter to Isaac McPherson:
"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature…."
Unlike, say, a diamond bracelet, an idea can be freely given to others without diminishing its value for the person who "owns" it–indeed, its value only increases as it spreads. While Jefferson believed that the creators of inventions could not claim permanent, natural rights over them, he acknowledged that society could grant the right to profit from them in order to foster innovation (which, as Chris Kelty notes, Jefferson termed the "the embarrassment of an exclusive patent," suggesting his discomfort). He cautioned that intellectual property rights may actually endanger innovation by granting monopolies, should exist only long enough to spawn innovation, should be governed by rules limiting their application, and should be differentiated according to what benefit they convey to the public (Boyle, The Public Domain).
Jefferson's letter raises fundamental questions: what social functions do intellectual property rights play? How can we best encourage the sharing of ideas and the progress of knowledge? In this post, the second in my series on the open humanities, I will explore legal and cultural contexts, focusing on the US.
The view that intellectual property rights are granted to encourage innovation is reflected in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Note that that the Constitution describes both the purpose of copyright–"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts"–and places limits upon it. Copyright aims to provide an incentive (a limited monopoly) for creators to share their work so that others may make use of it and build upon it. This incentive is balanced by limits, so that after a period of time the work falls into the public domain. The 1790 Copyright Act set the copyright term at 14 years, with the right to renew for another 14 years. Now, after the passage of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, the copyright term has exploded to 70 years after the death of the author. The original intention to encourage the progress of public knowledge seems to have fallen aside in the interest of protecting commercial interests such as Disney's monopoly over Mickey Mouse.
With most academic work, the ability to secure a monopoly over one's ideas is not the primary incentive for sharing. Rather, most academics publish scholarly works in order to make a visible contribution to the scholarly conversation, build their scholarly reputation, and ultimately secure tenure or promotion. Typically researchers do not receive monetary compensation for publishing journal articles; the reward comes in disseminating their research. As Peter Suber suggests, one factor that makes open access more complicated in the humanities is that authors of monographs often expect to receive royalties. However, as Paul Courant points out, the monetary rewards tend to be small; the author of a moderately successful manuscript selling 1000 copies might expect to make less than $4000, and "for many monographs, lifetime royalties are zero or close to it." As Courant suggests, "The big financial payoff to the author of the great majority of scholarly books is not the royalties but the visibility (and hence the salary and working conditions) of the author in the academic labor market." If authors aim to contribute to the scholarly conversation and heighten their visibility, it makes sense for them to remove barriers to their work (although they also have an incentive to publish with the top journals or publishers).
Open access facilitates the sharing of scholarly knowledge. Peter Suber, a philosopher and respected advocate for open access, offers a simple definition: "Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions." Because such literature is digital and available online, distributing it costs almost nothing, and it can be accessed by anyone with an Internet connection. The lack of most restrictions means that the literature could be accessed and mined, which could open up new insights. But creators can put into place some restrictions over open works. For example, they can adopt a Creative Commons license and specify whether the work can be modified and/or used commercially, as well as whether the work must be attributed (CC-BY) and/or whether new versions of the work must be licensed under the same terms (share and share alike). CC-BY upholds the scholarly practice of acknowledging sources (see Bethany Nowviskie's "why, oh why, CC-BY?" for a smart discussion of the rationale for adopting this license). There are two principal means of disseminating open access scholarly work: green, through depositing works in disciplinary repositories (like arXiv) or institutional repositories (like DSpace@MIT), and gold, through publishing open journals and monographs. Note that many publishers allow scholars to self archive work in repositories; visit SHERPA RoMEO to access publisher policies.
Unfortunately, the humanities seem to be behind the sciences in practicing openness. As Wikipedia explains, the open science movement aims to enlarge access to research, data, and publications, speed up scholarly communication, facilitate collaboration, and improve the sharing and building of knowledge, whether through open lab notebooks, open data, or open access to scholarly literature. There isn't even a Wikipedia page for open humanities (let's get to work!). The Directory of Open Access and Hybrid Journals lists nearly 3000 journals in the sciences as opposed to a little over 1300 in the arts & humanities. Much of the rhetoric around openness focuses on science; as a rough measure, there are approximately 973,000 Google results for "open science" versus around 38,000 for "open humanities".
In a 2004 essay, Peter Suber pointed to a number of reasons why the humanities have been more reluctant to embrace openness than the sciences, including the greater availability of public funding for scientific research (and publishing fees), a deeper sense of a cost crisis with science journals, the significance of pre-print repositories in the sciences, the importance of monographs in the humanities, and the greater public pressure for open access to science. Updating Suber's analysis eight years later, Gary Daught suggests that the time may be ripe for efforts to promote openness in the humanities. He notes that the price inflation of humanities journals has become a greater concern and that open source tools such as Open Journal Systems have brought down publishing costs. Perhaps most importantly, as scholars become more accustomed to the speed, convenience and openness of online communication, they may more expect that research is easily accessible.
Indeed, I've identified a number of open humanities projects, mainly in the digital humanities. Openness in the humanities can take many forms, including:
While these different ways of categorizing openness are helpful, I agree with Clint Lalonde (riffing on Gardner Campbell) that "open is an attitude"– not only being willing to share resources, but also to work in such a way that others can observe, learn and offer to help. In my next post, I'll provide a number of examples of open humanities projects and initiatives.
Of course, open humanities projects aren't necessarily focused on digital humanities; note, for instance, publishing initiatives such as Open Humanities Press. With digital humanities, we often see the intersection of humanistic values and what I'll call Web values. Driven by a desire to make it easier for scientists to share their data and collaborate, Tim Berners-Lee created the foundations of the Web. Rather than being a proprietary system, the Web is built upon open protocols, standards and design principles. The success of the Web comes from the way that it connects people to each other, information, and experiences, enabling them to share ideas, converse with each other, and explore and interact with information. Hence Berners-Lee's message (appropriately delivered via Twitter) at the 2012 Summer Olympics: "this is for everyone." What would it take to say the same about humanities scholarship and educational resources?

Wireless up to 300 ft. Plug your camera's cable into one of our 2.4GHz transmitters (either BNC or RCA cable type) and then take your included Receiver unit and plug it into the back of any VCR, TV or Monitor! Once done, you're all set to receive audio and video transmissions. Choose our regular model which sends A/V signal up to 300 feet away 'line of sight' that's without obstructions.
Both the Transmitter and Receiver units are small (approx. 5 inches)and extremely light weight. Also, both offer 4 separate channels which allows simultaneous operation of up to 4 separate transmitter/receiver units in the same location without any interference! Since these units run on 2.4GHz they are great for use where there is no WiFi or wireless internet signal. Great for use in open spaces or out in the country.
Package includes one indoor Transmitter and Receiving unit each, power supplies, RCA connecting cables, 2 RCA to BNC adapters - for BNC type cameras. There's nothing more you'll need (except your camera and a TV or VCR).
Please note that if you are transmitting over 300ft and encounter signal problems because of nearby metal structures, or wifi connections, we recommend the use of our 2.4GHz High Gain Panel Antenna to boost the signal. Keep in mind that wireless transmission absolutely requires line of sight and you can always use a high gain antenna to boost your signal.

Acoustic Panels
Acoustics are an aspect of interior design that often is neglected. When rooms in new buildings are made larger, and there are fewer walls in our homes, the need of acoustic elements increases. The human mind is influenced by all our senses and an annoying sound affects our health and subsequently decreases our creativity. To deal with this issue we created Soundwave®, acoustic panels that have been setting new standards on the market since 2002.

November General Election Changes
On November 6th a new era of school elections begins with the combination of school board candidates on the general election ballot with other elected officials. House Bill 4005 became Public Act 233 of 2011 in November of 2011 changing the terms of school board trustees and establishing that all school elections will be conducted in the general election on even-numbered years. The trustee's terms of office were changed to make certain trustee's terms end on the new even year election cycle. The legislature believes that the changes will reduce the cost of school elections by sharing the polling and ballot expenses with the general election process. And they feel by having all elections on a specific date, more attention will be paid to all the candidates on the ballot. We will have to see if a reduction in cost of conducting the election really is accomplished, but I would like to share with you a few things I am certain will happen if you are not aware of the school election changes.
Our state government thinks because school boards are elected there is no difference to their selection than other elected officials. I have been a Rockford School Board trustee for 16 years and elected to that position three times. I don't consider myself a politician and I don't believe that anyone I have served with considered themselves politicians in the same sense that someone on the general election ballot would when running for election. As a result, running a political campaign is not at the top of my "to do" list nor do I think it is appropriate for politicians to be running for boards of education.
Rockford Public School's Board of Education is an elected volunteer board. Our school board serves the community without pay, unlike other officials being elected on the new ballot. For as long as I have been a trustee, and as long as anyone that has served with me can remember, school board trustees volunteer their time to serve the community. The expense of a campaign to secure a community service position without pay just isn't practical even when the school election was a separate event. Now that school elections are part of the general election ballot, the candidates for trustee are at an even larger disadvantage to create interest in the election of these important school leaders. You can only imagine a school board trustee's advertisement in the paper or signs proclaiming their candidacy in the sea of other candidates for national, state and local offices in yards and along the roads.
The position of the school board candidates on the ballot is an equally difficult circumstance for candidates. At the end of the ballot, after the Presidential candidates, Senatorial candidates, House of Representative candidates, State Board of Education candidates, the University of Michigan Regents, the Michigan State Trustee candidates, the candidates for the Governor of Wayne State University, the county and township officials, the Judiciary candidates, and just before the ballot proposals, you will find three names of candidates for Board Member Rockford Public Schools. Randall C. Sellhorn and Lisa M. Kreager, the incumbents, and Jeffrey Steendam are the candidates of which you will be voting for two. Don't lose your focus in the voting booth – it's a long way down the list to get to the school portion of the ballot.
So what is my point if you have followed me to this point in the article? Randall C Sellhorn, Lisa M. Kreager and Jeffrey Steendam are on the ballot for a different purpose than the other candidates on the ballot. They are volunteers looking to serve our community, parents and students. They are not looking to serve our community for payment like the other candidates seeking to serve as their employment. Please take the time to investigate these people as candidates. Get to the bottom of the ballot and make a selection for the volunteers that use their vocational experiences, their interest in teaching and learning and their passion for the students of Rockford Public Schools to represent the Ram Nation.

My Golf R has arrived so make me an offer before I just trade this in!
Beautiful OEM + 2011 GTI 6spd, 4 door, Autobahn package with only 7400 miles and 265hp.
My GTI had to be special ordered to get it in this configuration with a 6spd, fully loaded Autobahn package includes Leather, Navigation etc. It is adult owned and tastefully upgraded. Perfect condition with low miles. I had it APR tuned to 265hp and added the APR Carbonio carbon fiber intake system to increases airflow without being obnoxious. Also has Factory VW Driver's gear lowering springs which lowers the car about 1 inch without making the ride harse. I also installed the OEM Factory 18x8in European Scirocco Interlagos Wheels to complete the look.
This car is a very quick when you want the power but tame in day to day driving. Purchased new one year ago for about $31,000, and have spent a few grand in upgrades.
Never raced or abused, non-smoker. $26500 obo. Someone make me an offer before I trade it in and get raped by the dealer, but at least get a tax credit towards the Golf R.
If you are seriously looking for a fully loaded 6spd 4dr Autobahn GTI, this is the one. call or text 425-nine85-six049 or email ssq1574 @ hotmail . com

Letters from the Issue of December 18, 2008
Ugliness or Fact
He just wants to inform the haters: On December 11, Altaf Ali, executive director of the Florida Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), was quoted in Miami New Times denouncing the award-winning documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West. As the producer of this film, I appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight.
Obsession paints an accurate picture of radical Islam and the dangers it presents to the security of the United States. The Muslim extremists who have hijacked Islam to incite hatred, violence, human rights abuses, and the murder of innocent people are hell-bent on replacing Western values with a system of oppression. I am glad to hear a prominent member of CAIR speaking out against radical Islam. I fear, however, that Mr. Ali is merely paying lip service to this issue in hopes of burnishing the image of his organization and silencing legitimate debate.
Che Guevara
CAIR has launched a public relations offensive to smear Obsession as hate speech. Nothing could be further from the truth. At the outset of the film, there is a clear statement that Obsession is not about the moderate Muslims who are peaceful.

With the U.S. economy slumping into recession, there are some people in this country who would like to wish away the terrorist threat. The terrorists, who have tentacles in every corner of the world and a burning obsession to wage jihad, would like nothing more than for the United States to retreat from leading the global war against terrorism. When radical Islamists such as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declare they want to destroy America and wipe Israel from the face of the Earth, they mean it. CAIR does the American people, including the moderate Muslims who live in this nation, a great disservice in trying to muzzle an honest discussion about this threat.
It is not anti-Muslim to educate the American people about the dangers of radical Islam. The question the news media and policymakers should be asking is: Why is CAIR afraid of this film?

More Hate
Ill will: Tim Elfrink's December 11 story "Chez Che" raised an interesting question: Whom do I hate more? People who wear Che shirts, or right-wing Cubans from Miami? No need to decide. I have plenty of hate to go around.
Martin Rheaume
Via web commentary
Ugliness: I consider Che Guevara a butcher, a serial killer, and a sore loser. Bringing Steven Soderbergh's new picture Che to Miami is meant to provoke his victims.
Rene Alvarez
Via web commentary
Nasty speech: Judge Che yourself — in his own words:
• "Executions? Yes, we have executed, we are executing, and we will continue to execute as long as it's necessary. Our fight is a fight to the death."
• "We will bring the war to the imperialist enemy's very home ... to his places of work and recreation. We must never give him a minute of peace or tranquility. We'll attack him wherever we find him."
• "The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we'll destroy him! These hyenas are fit only for extermination. We must keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm!"
• "If the missiles had remained, we would have used them against the very heart of America, including New York. We must never establish peaceful coexistence. In this struggle to the death between two systems, we must gain the ultimate victory. We must walk the path of liberation even if it costs millions of atomic victims."
John Mansfield
Via web commentary
Hypocritical ugliness: That loser uttered "heroic" words before surrendering — like the coward rat he was — to the Bolivian army. That day, the quaking "guerrilla hero" was prompted to say, "Don't shoot! I'm Che! I'm worth more to you alive than dead!"
Fidel sent Che to a certain death in Bolivia. He just used that moron while he needed him.

Nairobi: Kenya have retained the same squad that beat Canada and Bermuda to move to the top of the ICC Intercontinental Cup series for rescheduled matches against Namibia and the United Arab Emirates in Sharjah later this month, officials said Monday.
This means there is no place in the team for veteran opener-cum-wicketkeeper Kennedy Otieno, who only returned to the side from a coaching stint in Australia last week and expressed his willingness to play for Kenya again after a two-year absence.
India-born batsman Tanmay Mishra is also be left out of the touring side after failing to attend training, said Cricket Kenya chief executive Tom Tikolo.
Kenya will arrive in Sharjah on January 26 for the two back-to-back matches against Namibia and the United Arab Emirates which were moved to the UAE after the country sunk into violence following the disputed December 27 presidential elections.
Kenya, which lead the standings with 40 points, will first play Namibia from January 29 to February 1 before facing their hosts three days later.

Hoyt Axton
Axton resurfaced in 1963 with Thunder 'N Lightnin', followed later that year by Saturday's Child; around that same time one of his best friends suffered a fatal drug overdose, inspiring his song "The Pusher," a hit for the rock band Steppenwolf subsequently included on the soundtrack to the film Easy Rider. Despite his success as a songwriter, Axton's performing career failed to catch fire, and after 1965's Sings Bessie Smith he was without a recording contract for several years before signing to Columbia in 1969 to issue My Griffin Is Gone. While opening for Three Dog Night in support of the album, the band heard his composition "Joy to the World" -- their recording of the song topped the pop charts in the spring of 1971 -- and early the following year they returned to the Top Ten with Axton's "Never Been to Spain." He signed to A&M to release 1973's Less Than the Song; the follow-up, Life Machine, launched two of his biggest solo hits, the lovely "When the Morning Comes" (a duet with Linda Ronstadt) and "Boney Fingers." In 1975, Ringo Starr also notched a Top Three smash with Axton's "The No No Song."
Following the much-acclaimed 1977 album Snowblind Friend, Axton completed his deal with MCA with the release of Free Sailin'; he then formed his own label, Jeremiah Records, and with 1979's A Rusty Old Halo scored his biggest solo hit with the classic "Della and the Dealer." In the wake of appearances on dozens of television series including I Dream of Jeannie and McCloud, he landed his first major film work that same year in the acclaimed family drama The Black Stallion; Axton's subsequent movie roles included co-starring appearances in projects including 1983's Heart Like a Wheel, 1984's Gremlins, and 1989's We're No Angels. After 1982's Pistol Packin' Mama, Jeremiah folded, and Axton was noticeably absent from recording until issuing the comeback album Spin of the Wheel in 1990. The LP was Axton's last major new release, however, and in 1996 he suffered a stroke; his health continued to decline, and after a series of heart attacks he died October 26, 1999 at the age of 61. ~ Jason Ankeny
