Looking Ahead
Nothing Seems To Discourage Larry McClendon These Days
If Arkansas producer-ginner Larry McClendon ever thought about writing a book, the past two years have given him enough material to publish a best-seller.
An exaggeration?
Not really if you take a closer look at what he's done and where his journey has taken him. He probably had enough information for that book after last fall when record-breaking rains hit many parts of the Mid-South and wreaked havoc on cotton crops.
That alone would've been enough to challenge even the most innovative farmer. But, consider that McClendon, a farmer since 1975 and a ginner since 1991, also took on the duties of being chairman of the National Cotton Council in 2008 and board chairman in 2009.
Now you start to get a clearer picture of where he's been.
Reflecting On The Past
Sitting in his second-floor office at the McClendon-Mann-Felton Gin Co., in Marianna, Ark., he talks about all of those experiences now with appreciation and knows that he's a better farmer and ginner for having gone through them.
Perhaps nothing was more difficult than what he dealt with during the fall of 2009. That crop year, according to McClendon, was the most difficult experience of his farming career. He lost about 30 percent of his production, and that carried over to a dropoff at the gin where 82,000 bales were handled – the lowest output since 2001.
But, like any good farmer today, McClendon says he learned from the experience and is extremely optimistic about the 2010 crop season.
"The '09 crop was difficult," he says in something of an understatement. "We planted and re-planted and didn't get the cotton into the ground until the first week of June.
"On Sept. 1, I thought it was the most impressive looking cotton I had seen on our farm in 35 years. We were pleased to be where we were because it was a late-planted crop."
Harvesting should've begun around Sept. 10. Unfortunately, that's when everything changed. For the next six weeks, the farm received between 20 and 25 inches of rain.
By Nov. 1, McClendon assessed the situation and realized that 90 percent of his cotton was still in the field waiting to be harvested. Sensing that the clock was ticking, he hired extra workers and rented several harvesters. The crop was picked in eight days. An expensive crop had just gotten more expensive.
"For the first time in my life, I felt that circumstances were running me, and I wasn't running the farm," he says. "Like I said, I haven't seen anything like it in my life."
McClendon says he's heard older farmers talk about the floods of 1957 and 1972, but now he has his own reference point on how weather has affected his farm. The fall of 2009 has easily moved into the record books.
So, the obvious question is how does a farmer recover from a rain event that damaged every crop on his farm? What are the lessons to be learned?
"It's obviously character-building," says McClendon. "You learn about risk management, but you also learn a lot about yourself. For some of my friends in the south Delta, they've probably had about all the character-building lessons they can stand. However, I have a deep faith, and if you farm, it's definitely an advantage to have that."
An Innovative Farmer
Two of McClendon's closest friends are National Cotton Council agronomist Bill Robertson and Arkansas cotton consultant Bob Griffin. Robertson worked with McClendon for 12 years when he was the state cotton Exten-sion specialist. Griffin has been a consultant for the McClendon farm for more than 30 years.
"What I remember about Larry is that he always asked me good, tough questions," says Robertson. "And he always put his gin customers first. He was always trying to find things that would help them on the farm. I also remember that he would make sure everybody else's cotton got ginned before his own cotton was ginned. That's the kind of person he is."
Griffin recalls that McClendon always surrounded himself with good people on the farm and at the gin. He also was known for "being a perfectionist and did not ever want to settle for things being done halfway."
He says McClendon knows how to delegate responsibility, but will always be checking his fields at daybreak to make sure he knows whatever problem needs to be address-ed on each turnrow.
An Industry Leader
Is it possible to sum up in a few sentences what McClendon experienced as NCC chairman in 2008 and board chairman in 2009? Probably not, but it was unquestionably two of the most important years in U.S. cotton's long and proud history.
He had a front row seat in the development of the 2008 Farm Bill, WTO negotiations and other legislative issues that affected the industry.
"You start off thinking how can I contribute?" he says. "Then, you realize how complex this industry is with so many interconnected issues."
The challenges for McClendon increased dramatically when other events such as an economic recession and shrinking cotton acreage were added into the mix.
"Let's put it this way," he says. "It was the perfect storm with a lot of issues coming together at the same time. And if it weren't for the National Cotton Council's efforts, none of us would be here right now."
A Farm Bill That Works
McClendon is particularly proud of how the 2008 Farm Bill came into being. It wasn't perfect, but it turned out better than he anticipated.
As for the WTO negotiations, he believes the NCC is effectively fighting this battle, and he is confident U.S. trade representatives understand that cotton can't be the sacrificial lamb.
"I hope we've turned the corner on the WTO talks," he says. "The main thing is that we have to fight the battles in Washington every day. That's just the way it is.
"I'm incredibly optimistic about the future because of better prices, yields trending up and hopefully better weather. My message to other farmers is be persistent and keep the faith. Many years from now we'll look back on these days and be proud of how we somehow got through them."

McClendon On The Move
Larry McClendon has always prided himself for being cool under pressure and being able to make the right decision.
Those skills were put to the test numerous times in 2008 when he was chairman of the National Cotton Council. On one of his many trips to Washington, he and an industry contingent were calling on House Agriculture Committee chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.).
After a brief meeting, the question became whether the industry group would get on board with Peterson's plan for the Farm Bill or go home. It was an "all or nothing gamble" that confronted McClendon, California producer John Pucheu and Texas producer Woody Anderson.
"The congressman told us he was leaving the room for about an hour," recalls McClendon. "He said he needed an answer when he returned. We didn't have time for an executive committee meeting, and we're basically debating everything that is important to cotton – payment limits, price support and program eligibility. Normally, I handle things pretty well, but there were some sweaty palms in that room.
"Fortunately, we made a good decision and went with Chairman Peterson's plan, and he was an advocate for cotton from that point on."
McClendon made two trips to Geneva, Switzerland, for WTO meetings. He recalls one instance where several other countries were expecting the U.S. cotton contingent to cave in and make additional concessions.
"I think these other countries were looking for a silver bullet from the United States in the hope of reaching an agreement," he says.
"There was no silver bullet. Our group held its ground and said 'no.' We said we'd go back to Congress and fight our battle there if we couldn't work it out here. Early the next day, the talks broke down, but it was because China and India refused to open their markets for additional trade."
It was another chapter in McClendon's tenure as NCC chairman in 2008 – a year he isn't likely to forget.
McClendon's Commitment To Cotton Is Extensive

Over the past eight years, Democrats who control the Massachusetts Legislature twice changed the rules for filling a US Senate vacancy to favor their party. Changing them a third time to avoid a special election would be an act of epic political arrogance. Unfortunately, Governor Patrick isn't ruling it out.
The possibility that President Obama will tap Senator John Kerry for his Cabinet has become a source of anxiety for some Democrats. Because of the possibility that Republican Scott Brown might win a special election next year, there's been talk of changing state law yet again — this time to let the governor appoint a replacement until the next regularly scheduled election.

IPad rules growing China tablet market
Apple's device is way ahead, with more than a 70% share.
Apple's (AAPL) third-generation iPad had an embarrassing start in China. The device drew a crowd of just 30 people when it was released in July. But it seems that was a temporary stumble for the Cupertino, California tech giant, which now dominates the tablet market in China.
According to Reuters, the Mac maker commanded 71.4% of Chinese tablet sales during the third quarter. Lenovo, the number two player, earned just 10.5% of the market. Ereneben came in third place with 3.6%, while Samsung landed in fourth place with 3.5%.
During the quarter, tablet makers sold a total of 2.6 million devices in China. Since Apple produced 71.4% of those tablets, it's safe to assume that the company sold more than 1.8 million iPads in the People's Republic.
For a country with more than one billion people, that may not sound like very many tablets -- especially when they are spread over a three-month period. But iPads are an expensive commodity; most Chinese citizens would have to save a month or two's worth of rent just to afford one.
Regardless, the Chinese tablet market is growing fast. Sales rose 62.5% during the third quarter, indicating that consumers are eager for new touch screen devices.
This growth may have inspired the iPad Mini. While Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was vehemently against the concept, the company pushed ahead with its development.
Apple reportedly tested the smaller tablet in China earlier this year. That report was never confirmed, but it seems the company was inspired to proceed regardless.
Many American consumers have balked at the iPad Mini's $329 starting price, which is just $70 cheaper than the iPad 2 and $30 more expensive than the new iPod Touch. Other consumers appreciated the lower price, which proved to be a key selling point when the device was released in the U.S.
In China, the lower price could be even more appealing. If the tablet market continues to grow there (and in other emerging markets), Apple will have to do everything it can to acquire new customers. This includes the sale of smaller and cheaper tablets.
Unlike the smartphone market, however, it seems that Apple will be able to continue dominating the tablet space for the foreseeable future. While Samsung is a worldwide leader in smartphones and feature phones, the company only sold 91,000 tablets in China during the third quarter.

Physical Therapy
Polly Cerasoli Scholarship Fund
Print this Page Home > Physical Therapy > Polly Cerasoli Scholarship Fund
Thank you for your interest in the scholarship fund to honor Pauline (Polly) Cerasoli.
Polly Cerasoli, clinician, teacher, mentor, scholar, leader, skier and friend, passed away on September 11, 2010 at the age of 71 while residing at the Rose Meadow Farm in New Boston, N.H. Polly's career was cut short in 1996 when she sustained a traumatic brain injury from an unknown assailant while attending the APTA combined sections meeting in Atlanta.
Life in Rural Vermont
Polly grew up in Vermont where she accompanied her father, a country doctor, on his rounds to patient/client homes, braving the snow and ice of the Green Mountains to reach those in need in rural Vermont. Those special times with her dad fostered a love for medicine and a commitment to help others. When she learned about the profession of physical therapy, she knew it would become her life-long passion.
Career Development
Polly received her BS in Physical Therapy from the University of Connecticut. She then moved to Boston where she worked as a clinician while attending Boston University to earn a Master's in Education. She became a member of the PT faculty at Northeastern University in the early 1970s. As a teacher, she taught a variety of courses, but her specialty was therapeutic exercise. She also served as academic coordinator of clinical education and acting chairperson of the physical therapy department. Polly earned her Doctor of Education degree in Rehabilitation Administration from Northeastern. Her dissertation addressed the relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction among physical therapist clinicians. Polly loved teaching and was devoted to nurturing the best in those around her. She always had time to mentor and inspire students and colleagues.
Polly served the profession in other ways through her activities with the American Physical Therapy Association. She was an active member of the House of Delegates and the Education and Legislation/Regulations Sections. She also served on evaluation teams for the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education as well as participating in various task forces.
Polly left Northeastern to become Director of Rehabilitation at Massachusetts General Hospital and to teach at the MGH Institute. From there she moved to Denver, Colorado to live and ski in the Rocky Mountains. She became the Assistant Dean of Allied Health and Director of the Physical Therapy Program at the University of Colorado, where she continued working to advance the profession of physical therapy. In spite of her career moves, Polly always maintained her ties to Northeastern.
Polly inspired students and colleagues to excel both personally and professionally. You can help cultivate Polly's ideals and qualities in the next generation of physical therapist by contributing to the Polly Cerasoli Scholarship Fund. Proceeds from the fund will be used to award an annual scholarship to a physical therapy graduate student who exemplifies the characteristics that reflect those Polly displayed throughout her life and career.
Making a Contribution
If you would like to make a contribution to the Polly Cerasoli Scholarship Fund, please contact Steven Tanne at 617 373 2637 or you can send a check to 215 Behrakis Health Sciences Center, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.

I find redheads with freckles to be incredibly sexy. Small amount or large amount of freckles in terms of looks is perfectly fine with me. These girls make me go wild.

The statue was brought Tracy from the Frostad Atelier Foundry in the McClellan Business Park on a flatbed trailer, arriving downtown shortly after 11 p.m. Dec. 5.
Crews used a crane to lift the 16-foot-tall bronze statue, sculpted by Rowland Cheney of Clements, and place it on a 4-foot-high concrete base.
Workers contended with chilly overnight temperatures that dipped below freezing as the base was prepared for the bronze work. The statue was mounted to the base shortly before 2 a.m.
The city will dedicate the public artwork with a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony at 4 p.m. Dec. 17. A reception with the artist will follow at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts, 715 Central Ave.

Ever wonder how the various citrus fruits are related? Turns out it's better to say they are inter-related, intimately inter-related. Buntworthy over at Cut Squash was pondering the question, what is an orange?, and decided to delve for an answer. B-worthy created the Venn diagram (above) to give us all a better understanding of just how inbred citrus really is.
As you can see from the diagram, the only two fruits that stand on their own are the key lime and the kumquat. It's strange, though coincidental, that they are the only two that start with the letter k. Stranger still, the lime is a combination of citron and papeada yet the key lime stands alone. Grapefruit is a combination of pomelo, mandarin and orange (the mandarin really gets around). In terms of flavor profile, I would not have expected that – where did the bitterness of the grapefruit come from? It's much milder in the pomelo.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Burleigh County deputies have taken a suspect into custody in connection with a threat that temporarily locked down the University of Mary in Bismarck.
The sheriff's department confirmed a student posted a violent threat on Facebook on Friday that referred to the Virginia Tech shootings.
Students earlier reported receiving a text message from U-Mary telling them to take shelter in a safe, locked room.

18 (supposedly) free things
You've been told that you never have to pay for these things, but let's examine the bottom line.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
Who doesn't love a free lunch? I know I've never turned one down.
If you believe everything you read on the Internet (as well you should), then there are a lot of products and services out there you should never pay for.
I know because I read about it here. And here. Oh, and here too.
The problem is, "never" is such a strong word, isn't it?
Compounding the matter, "free" is also a bit of a dicey term. And, while I've never turned down a free lunch, I also realize that, in reality, there's no such thing as a free, er, lunch.
So, with that in mind, here is my take on some of the products and services we've been told we should never ever pay a single penny for (post continues after video):
- The Conventional Wisdom: Why pay a pet store or a breeder big bucks when you can go to a shelter and adopt one? For free!
- Free Lunch Meter: That dog don't hunt.
- (Reality) Check, Please: Most shelters require you to pay pet adoption fees to cover their cost of doing business.
- The Bottom Line: Pet adoption can still be up to two orders of magnitude cheaper than buying a pet from a reputable breeder.
Cell phones:
- The Conventional Wisdom: Everybody knows you can get a free cell phone by signing a contract with your carrier.
- Free Lunch Meter: Zero (bars).
- (Reality) Check, Please: Many companies that offer plans that include "free" cell phones charge a monthly premium over contracts that don't.
- The Bottom Line: Assuming you get a plan with a $10 monthly premium over the life of a two-year contract, you'll end up paying $240 for that "free" phone.
- The Conventional Wisdom: You can get all the exercise you need without ponying up for expensive gym memberships.
- Free Lunch Meter: Atlas shrugged.
- (Reality) Check, Please: That depends on a lot of factors, including if you have the room at home for equipment and/or whether you can take advantage of the outdoors all year long.
- The Bottom Line: Good arguments on both sides. It really depends on the type of training you prefer to keep yourself in shape.
- The Conventional Wisdom: On a cost-per-gallon basis, tap water is essentially free. You can also collect and store rainwater.
- Free Lunch Meter: Well, it makes sense to me.
- (Reality) Check, Please: It really depends on where you live. In my town I pay less than 1 cent for every 20 gallons of tap water I use. In other words -- it's free. Then again, if you live in the middle of the Sahara, you're going to pay.
- The Bottom Line: If you don't like the taste of your local tap water, buy a filter and put it on your tap. It's still much cheaper than buying the bottled stuff.
- The Conventional Wisdom: Newspapers publish the same content in their paper as they do on the Internet.
- Free Lunch Meter: So this is news?
- (Reality) Check, Please: While some newspapers charge for some or all of their online content, many do not.
- The Bottom Line: If you're concerned about missing out on the coupons, you can save money by subscribing only to the Sunday edition.
- The Conventional Wisdom: Don't pay for an annual credit report when there is a website that offers them for free. (You big dummy.)
- Free Lunch Meter: 800 (On a scale from 300 to 850.)
- (Reality) Check, Please: See the conventional wisdom.
- The Bottom Line: You can get a free update every four months by rotating your report requests among the three major reporting agencies.
Home selling (real-estate commissions):
- The Conventional Wisdom: When it comes to real-estate agents, you rarely get what you pay for.
- Free Lunch Meter: The premise is built on a strong foundation.
- (Reality) Check, Please: Many people are unwilling and/or unable to put in the work and research required to sell their own home.
- The Bottom Line: Millions of people save thousands in real estate commissions every year by going for sale by owner.
Doula services:
- The Conventional Wisdom: You can save money by using an unlicensed doula-in-training. For free! (Or at least for a small donation.)
- Free Lunch Meter: What is a doula?
- (Reality) Check, Please: From what I can tell, a doula is basically a midwife.
- The Bottom Line: You're on your own on this one, folks. But when it comes to matters of life or death, I'd refuse to use an unlicensed anything.
Baby formula:
- The Conventional Wisdom: Why use baby formula when you can get breast milk for free?
- Free Lunch Meter: It's an uplifting thought, to be sure.
- (Reality) Check, Please: Some women are unable or unwilling to breastfeed.
- The Bottom Line: In case you forgot, Captain Obvious reminds everyone that until Congress figures out a way to tax it, breast milk is still free.
- The Conventional Wisdom: By teaching your baby something called elimination communication, you can avoid paying for diapers.
- Free Lunch Meter: Um, OK.
- (Reality) Check, Please: Are there any doulas out there who could give us the real poop on this? (Just make sure you have a license, OK?)
- The Bottom Line: Sounds great in theory, but woe to the parent who has a baby who happens to be a slow learner. And white carpet.
- The Conventional Wisdom: If you live relatively close to a library you can always check out your favorite books there.
- Free Lunch Meter: Word up.
- (Reality) Check, Please: Unless your hometown library is the Library of Congress, there's no guarantee you'll be able to find what you're looking for.
- The Bottom Line: Assuming you can find what you're looking for -- and don't like to own your own books -- borrowing them for free is infinitely cheaper than buying them (that is, assuming you can avoid paying late fees).
Credit-counseling services:
- The Conventional Wisdom: The first stop for anybody looking for credit-counseling services should be the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
- Free Lunch Meter: That's definitely good advice.
- (Reality) Check, Please: See the conventional wisdom.
- The Bottom Line: The NFCC provides free financial advice at more than 850 offices located across the United States.
Tax preparation fees:
- The Conventional Wisdom: Most taxpayers qualify for free e-filling and/or have taxes simple enough to do themselves.
- Free Lunch Meter: It depends. You'll need to audit your particular situation.
- (Reality) Check, Please: In 2010, 70% of all taxpayers were eligible to use the IRS Free File option.
- The Bottom Line: For people with complicated tax returns, the cost of using a tax professional can often be offset by the additional savings they uncover.
Banking services:
- The Conventional Wisdom: Why would anybody ever pay for a checking account when there are plenty of places offering free ones?
- Free Lunch Meter: Take it to the bank.
- (Reality) Check, Please: See the conventional wisdom.
- The Bottom Line: Just be sure that you maintain any minimum balance requirements to avoid penalties.
Credit cards:
- The Conventional Wisdom: Unless you're completely clueless, there is no reason to ever get a credit card that charges an annual fee.
- Free Lunch Meter: Sorry, but that charge has been declined.
- (Reality) Check, Please: Some rewards cards charge an annual fee in exchange for extended rewards and special benefits.
- The Bottom Line: Believe it or not, some people who pay for cards with annual fees actually end up better off than if they had a fee-free card.
Microsoft Office:
- The Conventional Wisdom: Why pay for Microsoft Office when there is the open source alternative, OpenOffice?
- Free Lunch Meter: An unexpected error has occurred. (OK.)
- (Reality) Check, Please: Yeah, it sounds great in theory but, as this head-to-head comparison shows, it really depends on a lot of variables.
- The Bottom Line: While OpenOffice is free, it does lack some features that certain users may find essential.
Moving boxes:
- The Conventional Wisdom: You can almost always pick up free cardboard boxes on Craigslist, and at many other places.
- Free Lunch Meter: Sometimes you really can get a free lunch.
- (Reality) Check, Please: See the conventional wisdom.
- The Bottom Line: For those who want to put in a little effort, there will always be a ready supply of cardboard boxes to tap.
- The Conventional Wisdom: Why pay for shipping when there are websites like Freeshipping.org out there?
- Free Lunch Meter: Doesn't deserve a complete stamp of approval.
- (Reality) Check, Please: There are just too many places to count that refuse to give discounts on shipping.
- The Bottom Line: Now if they can only figure out a way to get rid of those mysterious handling charges. Freehandling.org, anyone?

The 11 Biggest Frauds in Gaming
(Contributors: John Teti, Evan Narcisse)
From its inception -- [robotic voice] "WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF COMPUTER GAMES!" -- this industry has always promised to deliver the future. In the never-ending quest to be the first to deliver a day-after-tomorrow experience, it's no surprise that more than a few of these promises turned out to be as hollow as a stuffed animal you won at a state fair. Sure, it looks cute and all, but once you get it home, the seams start to show, sawdust begins leaking everywhere, and you're left wondering what you've "won" after all.
11. Wii MotionPlus attachment (2009)
Sure, it's better. But is it $20 worth of better? At this point, no. We've swung our way through three games that have been optimized for the Wii MotionPlus, including Wii Sports Resort, which was designed to show what the device can really do. Our highly scientific results: a few degrees shy of negligible.
10. Gizmondo (2005)
This hideous $400 game-playing GPS device stands as one of gaming's all-time greatest piles of sh*t. Only eight of the 14 promised games for the unit were ever released. And by February of the following year, sales were so pathetic that it was mercifully taken out behind the virtual woodshed and shot to death.
9. Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 (1982)
This cartridge promised an experience that would approximate what we were paying 25 cents for at the time in arcades. We all thought, "No way!" What we eventually got was a blue-and-yellow maze populated with one ghost that appeared to split into four ghosts at various intervals, and a circular object -- i.e., the Pac-Man -- that was about as easy to control as a car with wheels that are made entirely out of banana peels and Vaseline.
8. The Phantom (2002)
The Phantom promised on-demand PC games not unlike what OnLive is promising to deliver. But it turned out to be an elaborate hoax; one that's rivaled, to this day, only by the inglorious Piltdown Man. Viva la Piltdown Man! Viva!
7. PSP Connect/rearview mirror capability for racing games (2007)
Sony promised that the PSP could someday be used with the PlayStation 3 as a rearview mirror in racing games. Formula One Championship Edition was actually slated to include this capability, but at the last second, it was axed. It seems someone at Sony realized, at the 11th hour, that this was a totally stupid, uninteresting, wasteful idea.
6. VMU "Games" (Dreamcast; 1999)
The little memory unit with the LCD screen certainly was nifty. (We still fondly recall the satisfying "click" it made when you popped it into the controller.) But the unit also purported to be a portable game-playing device. The idea was a good one. But the execution? Very bad. Terrible, even. These games are fun only if mowing the lawn or cracking walnuts absolutely delights you.
5. Expansion Pak (Nintendo 64; 1999)
One of five different we-don't-need-no-stinking-C "Paks" from Nintendo (Rumble, Jumper, Controller and Transfer were the other four). The Expansion Pak plugged into the N64's memory expansion port and supposedly doubled the console's RAM storage. Only a couple of games -- Perfect Dark and Donkey Kong 64 are the two most prominent -- absolutely required it. But the Pak also supposedly enhanced a number of other games. Problem is, by "enhanced," Nintendo meant "no discernable difference whatsoever."
4. Mode 7 (Super Nintendo; 1991)
One of the big selling points of the Super Nintendo was its high-powered graphics chip that allowed -- hold onto your toupees, Dad -- MODE-7 EFFECTS. Every SNES game followed suit by featuring gratuitous, totally out-of-place look-at-me-I'm-rotating! moments. The quintessential example of Mode-7 abuse: Contra III: The Alien Wars.
3. Game Boy Camera (1998)
The low-tech, low-fidelity digital camera was designed to give the game-playing device an adult functionality. Problem is, it remains among the crummiest cameras ever made. (Though it does seem to be the camera of choice for taking photographs of blobby, black-and-white things like UFOs and Loch Ness monsters.) A close second here: the Game Boy Printer, aka the crappiest printer ever made. And because we don't want our parting guests to go home empty-handed, here's a bit of trivia: The Game Boy Camera was used to take the pics that appear on the cover of Neil Young's "Silver & Gold" album. Woot.
2. PSP Go (2009)
Sony's answer to the iPhone isn't even on the market yet, and already it totally stinks like Gizmondo in here. (Someone open a window.) It looks and feels about as hip as watching a 40-year-old shop at Urban Outfitters.
1. Michael Pachter
The industry's poster-child pundit feeds his "analysis" to the media with the same blend of aggression and love that a mother wolf brings to breastfeeding her young. It must be nice to make a living from stating stuff like the PSP Go costs "too much." Eureka, sir. Eureka.

Dr. Peter Bloom, College of Business, Economics and Law, Swansea University, UK
|SAC Room / Room 110, Cairnes Building (Ground Floor, St. Anthony's), NUI Galway
|1.00pm :: 18th September 2012
"It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity", Kofi Annan
This seminar seeks to examine how employee empowerment and activist discourses are shaping contemporary identity and public policy. Recent scholarship reveals the ironic function of empowerment values like autonomy for strengthening managerial power and reinforcing capitalist values of profit and productivity (Hales 1993; Willmott 1993). Less explored is the global/local dynamic impacting the acceptance and power of such empowerment myths (Harley 1999). More precisely, how can these progressive employment discourese be understood as global brands uniquely oriented to meet local conditions? How does the appeal of flexibilty, employability, work-life balance serve to legitimise international companies and policies within diverse national and regional contexts? How are social movements and employee resistance being shaped by this global view of empowerment?
These questions reflect the need for re-thinking current conceptions of glocalisation. Rather than simply examining it in terms of corporations or capitalist trends, this project proposes it as also indicative of a broader ideological phenemonen. In this regard, economic and organizational discourses are increasingly seen, at least in rhetoric if not fact, as being global in character. However, the international context remains a collection of quite diverse and stratified local contexts. Required then is an investigation of (1) how these global discoures are collectively shaping individual identities and desires internationally across different contexts and (2) how these global discourses are evolving and molded to reflect the political and cultural particularities of diverse national and regional contexts.
This research represents a potentially innovative and inter-disciplinary scholary perspective for understanding the relation of business, public policy and society. Most notably, it provides a critical scholarly lens for theoretically and empirically understanding the influence of global discoures locally. These ideals can serve to overdetermine individual and collective identity, creating simoultaneously shared global and local identifications. At the broader social level, it can illuminate the ways these empowerment ideals support certain policies and values at the expense of others as well shape the aspirations and activist struggles of margenalized groups . Hence, by better understanding the 'glocalization' of activism and empowerment it becomes possible to move beyond the current 'laws of gravity' defining contemporary globalization both internationally and nationally.
Biography: Dr. Peter Bloom is permanent lecturer in the College of Business, Economics and Law at Swansea University. In 2009, he was awarded a doctorate in Ideology and Discourse Analysis at University of Essex for my thesis, Creating the Chinese Market: The CCP and the Discursive Construction of an Authoritarian Capitalism through a Maoist Governing Paradigm, 2002-2008, which was funded through the Overseas Research Awards scheme. Since this time he has established a growing publication record in top international journals, within the fields of organization studies and the social sciences more generally. Currently his research interests focuses on identity, ideology and social change in the context of contemporary globalization.

HIST 7010 Issues and Interpretations in US History - Larry Grubbs
This is a reading seminar on the history of the United States from the colonial era to the 21st Century. Contemplating how historians work today, this course places particular emphasis on recent studies that explore sensory and emotional history. We will discuss historians' arguments, methods, and how they craft their stories.
HIST 7030 Issues and Interpretations in World History – Carolyn Biltoft
This course explores the possibilities and limitations of using the "world" as a framework for historical inquiry on the one hand and for teaching history on the other. It focuses on prevailing methods for explaining aspects of the human past that transcend national and regional boundaries. Throughout the semester, the weekly readings will investigate the kinds of phenomena that World Historians tackle: cross cultural trade, slavery and migration, imperialism, international cooperation and conflict, and globalization. The goal as we approach each theme is to better comprehend how, when and why global processes develop and then change over time. We will also pay special attention to Points of Contact (POC)—specific moments in which people, ideas or environments transformed as a result of their connection with the wider world. These POC will help frame our discussions and provide a context for a series of more theoretical and methodological questions such as: What is World History? What do we gain by looking at the past from a global perspective? What do we lose? What is Eurocentrism and how can we avoid it? How does one conduct research in World History? As we attempt to answer these questions together, we will also discuss their practical implications for the World History classroom. By the end of the semester you should walk away with knowledge about key debates and themes in the field, your own thoughts and opinions on the issues, and new ideas for teaching and/or research.
HIST 8020 19th C US – Wendy Venet
This course will use a biographical approach to studying the nineteenth century. Assigned books are: Joseph J. Ellis, American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson; Sally G. McMillen, Seneca Falls and the Origins of the Women's Rights Movement; James Oakes: The Radical and the Republican: Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and the Triumph of Antislavery Politics; Michael Fellman, Citizen Sherman: A Life of William Tecumseh Sherman; Martha Hodes, The Sea Captain's Wife: A True Story of Love, Race and War in the Nineteenth Century. Students will write a book review of 5-6 pages and a research paper of about 15 pages.
