Dance in/and the Humanities: a Mellon Summer Seminar, Public Discussions on the state of Dance Studies from within and without, from 9am-noon and from 2-5pm, Englander Studio, Granoff Creative Arts Center
"Dance Studies in/and the Humanities" is a multi-school, multi-year initiative designed to advance the field of dance studies. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project appoints postdoctoral fellows in dance studies at Brown University, Northwestern University, and Stanford University over a four-year period from 2012-13 through 2015-16.
On Wednesday, June 19, the 2013 seminar opens up at Brown University with two public roundtable conversations in the Granoff Creative Arts Center focusing on current pedagogies coming from within the field of dance as well as scholars who have incorporated dance studies into their research. Of interest to scholars and practitioners alike, these two conversations will leave space for the audience to engage with the panel in open discussion.
9am-12pm: Inside Dance Studies
The state of the field from "within" moderated by Rebecca Schneider (Brown) with Andre Lepecki (New York University), Mark Franko (Temple University), Susam Manning (Northwestern), Janice Ross (Stanford), and Julie Strandberg (Brown). Senior scholars and practioners will offer orienting comments on what they deem to be major issues facing the field as "field," exciting arenas for "development," or the promises and challenges of Dance Studies in relationship to disciplinary formation in the University. To be followed by open discussion.
2pm-5pm: Beside Dance Studies
A roundtable on the study of dance across a series of interdisciplinary affiliations. Scholars will discuss the challenges they face "outside" and "inside" dance studies (or dismiss outside/inside for other orientations), and expand discussion from the morning by responding to the previous panel from other, compatriot fields. The panel will be moderated by Susan Manning and will include Rebecca Schneider (Brown, Performance Studies), Nadine George (UCSD, Theatre Studies), Kiri Miller (Brown, Music), Michelle Clayton (Brown, Hispanic Studies). Followed by open discussion.

We all knew that this would happen eventually. The only question was when it was going to go down. Six months after Paul Walker and Roger Rodas lost their lives in a car crash involving the latter's Porsche Carrera GT , Rodas' wife, Kristine Rodas, has filed a lawsuit against Porsche claiming that the design of the rare supercar contributed to the high-speed accident that caused the car to go up in flames.
In her lawsuit, Rodas argued that the Carrera GT was, for all intents and purposes, unsafe for its intended use "by reason of defects in its manufacture, design, testing, component and constituents." Rodas also contends that her husband was driving the car at only 55 mph at the time of the accident, contrary to the Los Angeles County Sheriff department's investigation , which found the accident to have been caused by speed with investigators estimating that Roger Rodas was driving at speeds between 80 to 93 mph before the crash.
Shortly after the crash, Porsche even sent its engineers to investigate the Carrera GT's remains only to find that the car itself had no problems.
It'll be interesting to see whether Kristine Rodas' lawsuit against Porsche has a leg to stand on. We are by no means trivializing the situation and we're not going to disrespect her for taking this step. We just don't see her winning this suit based on the results of the police's investigation.
Maybe Porsche will just avoid the whole thing with an out-of-court settlement. We don't know if she's going to accept those terms, but at this point, you might have to take what you can get.

Could there really be 8 QBs ranked above Eli Manning on the @NFLNetwork Top 100? Some big names are still there...
Eli Manning was the sixth QB to be revealed on the @NFLNetwork Top 100 list so far (Nos. 41-100 have been revealed so far. Far more interesting, though, are the list of quarterbacks still to come. There could easily be seven or eight QBs ranked ahead of him this year. The QB so far on the list are ... 43. GIANTS QB Eli Manning 46. Panthers QB Cam Newton 51. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson 61. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger 76. Lions QB Matthew Stafford 81. 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick With 40 more players to be revealed, here are some of the significant QB names that have not been called yet. All of them won't be ranked ahead of Eli -- some of them might not make the list -- but it's a good bet that seven or eight of them will be ranked in the Top 40, which will surely anger Giants fans ... Patriots QB Tom Brady Ravens QB Joe Flacco Texans QB Matt Schaub Colts QB Andrew Luck Broncos QB Peyton Manning Chargers QB Phillip Rivers Redskins QB Robert Griffin III Cowboys QB Tony Romo Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Falcons QB Matt Ryan Saints QB Drew Brees

Jreesh is cracked wheat. Let's not confuse cracked wheat and bulgur; bulgur is parboiled and cracked wheat is just cracked. Both are wheat. They look similar. A popular ingredient in baking and cooking in the South of the country. In Beirut, some bakeries specialize in this type of man'ooshe or flatbread, called jreesh.
Jreesh can be dark or yellow, just like bulgur. It depends on the type of wheat, (I think). It is consumed in pockets throughout the Middle-East and Turkey; in Iraq, for example, it is incorporated in kibbeh dough. In Anatolia (Turkey), it is cooked like rice, in a simple pilaf.
Jreesh gives bread more flavor. One baker from Kfar Remman, a village in the South reputed for its fine cooks, made us a zaatar and jreesh flatbread (man'ooshe) with a touch of anise in a whole wheat dough. The anise subtly infused it with its sweet fragrance. It was the best. I decided to reproduce it at home.
INGREDIENTS: 4 to 6 flatbreads
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup white unbleached flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 cup cracked wheat (jreesh)
- 1 tablespoon anise seeds or 1 tsp anise powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon mahlab (optional)
- 1 (up to 2) teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup (or more) water
1. Place the jreesh in a small bowl and cover it with about 1 cup of very hot water; set it aside for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, proof the yeast in a bowl of 1/2 cup of warm water, stirring it with the sugar. Set it aside in a cupboard and wait for it to bubble up, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the anise seeds in 1/2 cup of very hot water for about 20 minutes.
2. Mix the two flours and salt, adding mahlab if you like. Add the oil and keep stirring for one minute. Squeeze the water out of the jreesh by transferring it to a sieve. Press on it to drain it well and add it to the flour mixture. Stir and add the yeast mixture, then the anise seeds and water mixture. Keep mixing till the dough becomes one mass and does not stick to the bowl. If needed, add more water or flour if the mixture is too wet or too dry.
3. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, flip it around to oil it and cover it with plastic wrap; let it rise for a couple of hours. Leave it in the fridge overnight if you are not going to use it right away. When ready to use, preheat the oven to 450F-500F. Flour the counter, divide the dough into 3 or 4 balls and roll each one on a piece of greased foil or parchment paper. Make sure you have a baking sheet in the oven getting hot while the oven is heating. After rolling out the dough into a circle, slather it with zaatar paste all over. Slide the bread onto the hot baking sheet and bake it for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the bread is puffed-up and cooked through. Serve with fresh sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives if you like. A dollop of labneh is welcome as well.
ZAATAR TOPPING: Mix one cup of zaatar with 1 1/2 cups of extra-virgin olive oil till a paste forms.

A panel of medical specialists recommended Thursday that the Food and Drug Administration reject a kidney cancer drug developed by Aveo Pharmaceuticals Inc., cutting the Cambridge company's stock price nearly in half and dimming prospects for a medicine once considered promising for patients.
The surprise 13-to-1 vote against approving the experimental capsule, called tivozanib, delivered a blow to Aveo, which last fall restructured its operations to concentrate on the cancer drug. While the advisory panel's action is not binding, the FDA rarely overrides such recommendations. The agency is expected to render its decision by July 28.

I browned the steak for 3 minutes on each side, put it in the crock pot and covered it with the sauce. I cooked it on low for 8 hours, thinking that the meat might be a bit more tender. I thought the sauce was excellent, but I still found the meat to be a bit tough.

"The PhD program at Grenoble Ecole de Management aims at educating scholars who will become faculty members in leading international business schools or universities. It is a 4-year full-time program, designed to ensure that students are involved very early on in research and develop a solid publication record during their PhD studies.
We believe that the following characteristics make our program special and will help our graduates get attractive academic positions in leading international business schools:
While it is difficult to put it in words, I hope to have given you a better feeling about what makes our PhD program special. Please also take a look at what our own PhD students say about the program."
Corinne Faure, PhD Director of the PhD program Professor of Marketing
All current news
The GEM faculty has developed expertise and constituted research teams in the following areas:
During phase 1, students receive a thorough and sophisticated training in the latest methods of inquiry and state-of-the-art knowledge. The program is taught entirely in English.
Students lacking a business background may be required to follow some courses from the Master of Sciences in Marketing or the Master of Sciences in Innovation and Technology Management programs. The specific choice of courses will be made on an individual basis. Possible courses include marketing management, management of innovation, brand management, etc…
PhD students have to take at least 300 hours of advanced PhD seminars over the first two-year period. All students have to take seminars on the most commonly used methodologies in business administration research (minimum of 200h). The goal is to provide students with a toolkit of different methods. Depending on the chosen concentration, students can then choose the methodologies they want to deepen.
Year 1 (110h) :
Year 2 (108h) :
Immediately after their arrival in the program, students are integrated in a research team and start working on (at least one) research project. Within these projects they may have to perform several tasks such as: literature review, conceptual and theoretical developments, data collection supervision, design of the experimental procedure, writing of a specific part of an article…
Students also have to participate in internal research workshops. These workshops, typically organized on a weekly or bi-weekly basis by the Departments, consist of internal or invited research presentations and readings seminars. Students are also regularly asked to present their research at these workshops.
In order to ensure that students are progressing adequately, a formal review of student progress is undertaken annually.
This stage is devoted to the dissertation work of the student. The student will have to choose his/her Ph.D supervisor and two committee members that will provide guidance on specific topics (e.g. econometrics, neural networks…). The committee members may be faculty not belonging to Grenoble Ecole de Management. The student has the possibility to defend his/her Ph.D on the basis of his/her publications.
The doctoral dissertation is designed to demonstrate that the candidate is capable of conducting significant independent scholarly research. The dissertation is expected to be of such scope, magnitude, and originality as to indicate that the student has acquired a command of the area being investigated and that s/he has the ability to contribute new knowledge or outlook to the field.
The co-production of rigorous, high-impact research makes graduates from this program highly attractive on the academic job market. Below are examples of recent publications by our PhD students in 2012-2013 :
Prior coursework in business administration is not mandatory for this program. Courses in related disciplines such as economics, mathematics, engineering, statistics or psychology provide the student with the background necessary for integrating and understanding the concepts taught in the Ph.D program.
The 2015-2019 PhD intake will start on October 1st 2015.
Recruitment for the 2014-18 intake is now closed. The online application database will reopen in October 2014.
To register, please fill in the online application form, and ask your referees to send the reference form to :
Ms. Nadège Friess or Ms. Nadege Friess Ph.D Admissions - Grenoble Ecole de Management 12 rue Pierre Sémard 38003 Grenoble Cedex 01 - France
The tuition fees are 9,000 Euros per year for the first 2 years and 3,000 Euros per year from the third year.
Grenoble Ecole de Management offers tuition fees waiver plus a teaching or research assistantship with a living allowance. Financial aid is provided according to merit and is conditional upon students' progress and performance.

Associate Professor of Administrative Medicine, Columbia Univ. School of Public Health and Administrative Medicine
1960 by The American Psychiatric Association
Some findings from a survey of the public image of mental health services in New York City reveal that: 1. A majority of New Yorkers claim personal acquaintance with one or more persons who have been under professional care for mental problems. 2. Half of all adults report personal problems which they believe might have been helped by outside services. 3. The public image of the psychiatrist is confused on some points—nearly half the public does not know that the psychiatrist is a doctor of medicine. 4. Fewer New Yorkers know psychiatrists as friends or acquaintances than know other physicians, dentists, and nurses. 5. Psychiatrists are identified as professionals best able to deal with mental troubles; social workers are regarded as best able to deal with family troubles. 6. In the public's view, psychiatrists trists are deemed as interested in their patients and as successful in helping them as are other medical specialists. 7. Most persons believe that state mental hospitals serve to "protect the community," even if patients may not get better there. 8. Many regard state mental hospitals as being most like prisons, TB sanitoria or nursing homes; a minority of the public thinks of them as most like general hospitals. 9. More persons think the quality of care in a state mental hospital is "good" than think it "poor." However, the proportion who believe the quality of care is "good" in a state mental hospital is less than the proportion who believe that care is "good" in a general hospital. 10. Three in 4 say they are willing to have ex-mental hospital patients as co-workers and neighbors; but only 1 in 4 is willing to share an apartment with, or have someone in his family marry, an ex-mental hospital patient. 11. Community mental health services which provide quick assistance, such as telephone answering services, psychiatric emergency, and "walk-in" clinics, are generally approved by a larger proportion of the public than those which bring mental patients into relatively close contact with the community, such as family foster care and so-called day, night and open mental hospitals. Notwithstanding the latter, neighborhood aftercare and rehabilitation services for ex-mental hospital patients are also highly approved.

The wicked self insert4 Reviews
This is a little ramble about Feanor and a self-insert just as wicked as the author...
Feeling "roused" indeed, the incredibly beautiful but exceptionally wicked self insert walked to her Lord, openly appraising his many... assets.
"Long and hard is fine with me, My Lord." she said, giving Feanaro a lustful, dirty look.
Hearing her, father and sons exchanged knowing looks, Findekano snorted and Nolofinwe elbowed him, looking grim and not at all amused. Findarato could be heard snickering in the background.
Feanaro wrapped an arm around the woman's waist, pulling her roughly and pressing her against his magnificent body.
"The longer and harder, the better. Yes... we know." he answered, before kissing her savagely, while the entire host of the Noldor stared, open-mouthed.

I'm using this in brown and love how it makes my lashes look naturally defined and thicker. Great for daily office wear. Holds the curl well (I always use eyelash curler to give it a curl boost before applying mascara). It does not lengthen the lashes. This does not smudge even after 10 hours in a hot & humid climate. I have very oily lids and almost all mascaras give me panda eyes but this didn't. It's easy to remove. I will definitely repurchase this.

I'm totally sold on this mascara. I was faithfully devoted to Lancome mascaras for over 15 years until I discovered this. My lashes are naturally curly but all my Lancome mascaras make them droop, and I've always been too lazy to curl my lashes. This mascara holds my natural curl all day and if I brush more on the tips I get that wide-eyed look all day. This is also my first waterproof mascara and I'm thrilled I can finally define my lower lashline without any smudging. I just press the wand gently against my lower lashline and I get instant definition! No flakiness, no smudges. Love it. I'm on my second tube now.

Bought this in brown by mistake, but it's a mistake I've learned to love. I like the natural look the color gives my lashes. It holds whatever curl I've done for my lashes sufficiently and gives me a wide-awake look. It doesn't smudge BUT I think I've encountered some flakes in the past... still, I love this. Brush is OK though its size makes me scared about poking it in my eye somtimes. This already comes cheap but can come cheaper on sales. I'd repurchase but this and the Unstoppable mascara make me want to try even more mascaras.

I'm always on the look out for a good mascara and i am currently using this one now at the moment and i quite like it.
Makes my lashes a lot longer and it does'nt clump at all.
A friend commented on how pretty my eyes looked and asked if i was wearing false ones?....so yes it does what it says!
Personally I don't really like this mascara a lot. It has pretty good volumizing properties, but length wise I think it doesn't do that much for the eyelashes. Besides, it dried up really fast although I was very careful not to pump the wand too many times. V much prefer magnum or other brands!
I bought this mascara based on a bunch of great reviews. I tried it & about 10 minutes later my lashes started burning. It went away after a while but came back hours later. It did make my lashes look really long and thick but will return because can't wear this stuff.
I'm a BIG fan of Maybelline's Volum'Express, so when the Hypercurl version hit the shelves, I was thrilled...
Note I never, ever use an eyelash curler because I'm simply too lazy, but that was never an issue because Volum'Express worked a treat and really gave me fuller, more luscious-looking lashes (and that's what I look for in a mascara, rather than lengthening purposes).
So I'm extremely disappointed with Volum'Express Hypercurl. Should've just stuck with the original version that doesn't make any lofty claims, like curling your lashes up to 75% (or is it 75 degrees?)... anyway, it doesn't matter... Hypercurl CLUMPS terribly, no matter how little I seem to use, the coverage isn't even. I get thick gobs: on the middle of my lashes, on the tips of my lashes. And when I try to correct the mistake, with another sweep of the wand (but I remove the remaining mascara with a tissue first), it doesn't work either. Instead, horrors, it makes my lashes stick together...!
As for the curling claim, that's complete bollocks. OK, maybe an eyelash curler is supposed to be used beforehand, but if the product were that great, you would bound to notice just a teeny bit of curl, right? But there's NONE. In fact, it makes my lashes stick out kinda funny, looks straight yet points downwards. I hate waterproof mascaras, but there isn't a wash-off version, and when this dries, it makes your lashes really hard, stiff and brittle. At the end of the day, this mascara is really so difficult to remove, even with a dedicated eye makeup remover.
I think this is a waste of money, I'm soooooo disappointed in you, Maybelline... if you're a user of the original Volum'Express, please don't bother with this one!

I feel kind of evil to crack the good ratings, but well, this surely doesn't work for me. It really holds the curl if you used the lash curler. Highly waterproof and smudge-proof too. But then this has a tendency to form clumps easily and note that I always remove the excess before I apply my mascara! It is even more likely to clump when it gets older... It seems to become more liquid-ish. It does separate my lashes but when I look into the mirror, my lashes are separated just because some of them are glued together.
Lengthening? Just average honestly. I have mascaras that lengthens much much better than this.
Volumizing? Yes, it volumizes but nth like YSL Faux Cils, but probably more on the level for Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume and Curl, which is even cheaper, gosh!
Thickening? Maybe if you consider a few lashes glued together count as thickening. Definitely not going to buy again.

I've been using mascara since I was 10...so I've been through MANY tubes of mascara, and got my hands on soooo many different types of mascaras. This Maybelline Volume Express Hypercurl is the best mascara I've ever used. It's my HG mascara. It doesn't clump and my eyelashes look naturally thick and long after applying it. Doesn't look fake, yet it makes the lashes look so long, thick and lovely! I've used at least 10 tubes of these. I replace it every 2-3 months, and even then it still works really well...still gives great results. The mascara NEVER flakes, and it can be removed easily with a makeup remover. Perfect mascara!! I'll be using this for a very long time to come.
I'm actually disappointed with this product. Maybe I haven't found my HG mascara but this is definitely not it! I have stick straight eyelashes that point downwards.I bought this in hope that it will give me a curl but it didn't even though the tube stated it can give a 75 degree curl- I still have to use my eyelash curler. That's fine with me but even after I curl my lashes and apply the mascara, the curl didn't last. But mid-day my lashes had already drooped downwards. It sometimes clump as well if I apply too much and it does nothing for lengthening or volume. Maybe it did but I can't tell. Luckily I bought it at a discounted price of $14.40 because I won't be repurchasing anymore. I'm moving on to department store mascaras because none of the drugstore mascaras work for me.
EDIT- Ok I change my mind on this product. I initially gave it 2 stars but after using it correctly, I realised that I do like it after all. Initially I wasn't curling my eyelashes properly with the eyelash curler so of course this product doesn't work. I have finally mastered the trick to curling my eyelashes and I say this mascara does make my lashes stay curl all day long without drooping. This is my HG product now until I find a better one but its good enough for me.
Oh and this product still doesn't curl without an eyelash curler so for those with stick straight lashes, definitely get an eyelash curler!

Obama prepares for battle as Republicans rally around Romney
With Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich now out of the race, President Obama finally has the chance to outwardly focus all his attention towards (all but confirmed) Republican nominee Mitt Romney. The first blows of what is sure to become a bitter battle for the presidency have, unsurprisingly, not been weak digs but full on attacks.
A couple of days ago the Obama campaign posted a video ad praising the incumbent's handling of the bin Laden affair last year. The video, which featured former Democratic President Bill Clinton, went so far as to suggest that, had Mitt Romney been President at the time of the raid which saw bin Laden killed, he would not have had the strength of authority and decision making to go through with the act. This prompted a furious response from 2008's Republican nominee John McCain, who claimed that the ad poured "Shame on Barack Obama for diminishing the memory of September 11th and the killing of Osama bin Laden by turning it into a cheap political attack ad".
This controversial marker in the sand from the Obama campaign makes clear a key part of their strategy ahead of November's elections, promoting Obama as a dedicated, strong candidate who has made the tough decisions in his first term in office.
Supporting this view will be recent polls that suggest Americans are more enamored with the President's handling of the economy now than ever before. More than 60% of Americans now think that the economy has either stabilised or started to improve under the leadership of the Obama administration. This will be a blow to Romney as the success of his campaign will largely depend upon how voters rate his credentials to handle the economy compared to those of Obama. Expect the Obama team to place strong emphasis on how the President has made the big calls which have ultimately helped the American economy, despite frequent opposition from a Republican controlled Congress.
Another key aspect of the Obama campaign will be his determination to win over young voters. Obama set his stall out by declaring that he would do all he could to help students in the United States, the White House confirming on Friday that the President would veto any GOP measure to pass through Congress that would extend lower interest rates on student loans.
With Romney staffers also seemingly confident that he will capture the youth vote, the campaign for young voters could turn out to be one of the most intriguing battlegrounds of the Presidential race, alongside attempts by Romney to try and improve his electability amongst women.
What is for certain is that Obama is far more popular now than he was a couple of years ago, and his campaign for re-election is sure to promote him as a candidate with a strong track record in office. Of course the President will steer clear of controversy as much as possible over the next few months, but he will also not be afraid to go on the offensive against Romney and the Republicans if his campaign sees it as the best way for him to assert his strength as a candidate.
