Los Angeles Event: Sex and Sectarianism in Lebanon (20 February 2013)
Sex and Sectarianism:
Recognition and the Disarticulation of Madhhab/Sect and Sex/Gender in Lebanon
A lecture by Maya Mikdashi
Co-Sponsored by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies, the UCLA Islamic Studies Program, and UCLA School of Law Critical Race Studies Program, and the Arab Studies Institute (ASI)
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
10383 Bunche Hall
University of California Los Angeles
This talk examines the legal practice of strategic conversion, by which is meant the religious conversion undertaken in order to make use of different aspects of the Lebanese legal system. The presentation illustrates the process of strategic conversion by comparing it to that of correcting one's sex in the census registry, an act that also changes the network of laws that applies to a citizen. A further comparison is made by introducing the practice of removing one's madhhab completely from state census registries, a right won by activists for a secular personal status law in March 2009. Through ethnographic and archival research on these practices of strategic conversion, madhhab removal, and the legal "correction" of sex by transsexual citizens, the presentation will explore what effect the legal and bureaucratic transformation of madhhab or sex has on the identification and or/recognition of a citizen's sect or gender.
While madhhab is the category through which the Lebanese state recognizes the personal status pertaining to each citizen, sect is a more multivalent and dense category that is recognized by the use of various technologies. What are the mechanisms through which these identities of madhhab, sect, sex, and gender are recognized and practiced? In what ways are Lebanese citizens acting within and towards the law, and how do these actions help to redefine their identity as always in relation others? What work does the disarticulation of the madhhab and sect do, and how might this disarticulation inform scholarship on citizenship in Lebanon? Thinking with these questions, the talk will tease out the different technologies through which sex, gender, madhhab, and sect are both recognized and practiced in contemporary Lebanon. It calls for the categories of "madhhab" and "sect" to be critically re-interrogated, just as the categories of sex and gender were and continue to be.

So, what would be your walk-up music?
May 14, 2010, 11:34 AM EDT
I'm partial to some nice organ music at the ballpark, but I realize that's quickly going the way of the dodo. Nowadays you whippersnappers like your bebop and "rock and roll" and all of that noise. In the unlikely event that God and fate keep you from becoming juvenile delinquents as a result of listening to that devil's music, I suppose it's well and good.
So these days the ballplayers have their theme music. This AP story notes that this season a number of guys — including Mark Teahen, Troy Tulowitzki, Nick Johnson and Cameron
Maybin — have gone the ironic route, playing Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus songs as they come to bat. That's the kind of thing that's good for a chuckle at first, but like the "Atari" shirt you wore to that college party back in 1992 and your brief love affair with swing music in 1997, it's the kind of thing that wears out fast. Such is the nature of irony.
But it has brought the subject of walkup music back to my attention. It's always a fun bar conversation: if you were a major league hitter — or a big time closer — what song would you come out to? It's a tougher subject than you might think. Sure, Roger Daltry's yell from "Won't Get Fooled Again" seems awesome, but when you figure that you're gonna strikeout or hit a weak dribbler six or seven out of every ten times at bat you can imagine that the fiery inspiration of it all may soon hang like an albatross around your neck. And that's before you even get into the "aw, crap, they use it on "CSI" now, so it's played-out" factor of it all.
Maybe something steady and driving is better than all that catharsis. "Walk the Line" may work, but you risk being called out as a hipster for such an obvious choice. Maybe something that burns more than rocks like, say, the intro to "Sweet Emotion" or whatever the hell that Alan Parsons Project song was that the Chicago Bulls used to use. All have their good points, all have their flaws. I'm not decided on what I'd use. I'm kind of partial to the keyboard intro to "What'd I say" by Ray Charles, but my mind changes on this subject quite frequently. I was particularly inspired by Chris Carter's use of Hulk Hogan's old theme, "Real American," during his debut with the Mets the other night. Wrestlers always got that stuff right.
I'm gonna throw it open. Tell me in the comments: if you're a ballplayer what's your walkup and/or coming out of the bullpen to lock down a save music? And no, you can't use "Grab them Cakes." I'm reserving the rights to use that one for myself.

A £390,000 project to improve parking at an Abingdon leisure centre will start soon.
Work on an overflow area with 99 new spaces is to start at the White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre from Tuesday, August 26.
The new spaces will be next to the skatepark and work will include new access roads and improvements to landscaping, draining, lighting and signing.
A new cycleway and pedestrian crossing will also be created.
Vale of White Horse District Council will also improve the current car park with resurfacing work, sign improvements, and the creation of five more disabled parking spaces.
The leisure centre in Audlett Drive currently attracts more than 700,000 visitors every year and the new work — which will take two months — will increase the number of parking spaces to 343.
Elaine Ware, the council's cabinet member for economy, leisure and property, said: "The White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre is an extremely popular facility. However, this has meant that the car park's capacity is exceeded on a regular basis, which causes issues both on site and on neighbouring roads.
"The lack of car parking has been a recurring theme of dissatisfaction for centre users, so I'm sure this increase in capacity will be a very welcome development."

I'm going against the grain here but this coin looks so nice it can't less than MS-66 in my amateur opinion.

This property was really a bargain for $100 a night. Free parking, remodeled room, Starbucks coffee in room, close to nearly everything, and a nice restaurant. The fitness center had nice equipment - the ones with TVs built in. The room was immaculate with a 32 inch (about) flat screen TV with HD channels and movies. Staff was always helpful... More

Letterman's longtime cue-card guy fired for assaulting a "Late Show" writer
Tony Mendez — who's also host of "The Late Show's" web series "The Tony Mendez Show" was terminated last week after getting into argument with writer Bill Scheft. "I know I shouldn't have put my hands on him," the 69-year-old Mendez tells the NY Post. "But this has been coming for a long time."
Report: An autopsy was never performed on Joan Rivers
Melissa Rivers requested that an autopsy not be performed, and that means we'll never learn what exactly killed Rivers, according to TMZ.
Mindy Kaling and Matt Damon are starring in a Super Bowl commercial together
The pairing is notable because Kaling once starred in a stage show called "Matt & Ben" about Damon and Ben Affleck's friendship, where she played Affleck. No word on what product they were filming their commercial for.
"Glee's" Matthew Morrison weds
Morrison tied the knot with model Renee Puente on Saturday. PLUS: "The Vampire Diaries" star Candice Accola also got married this weekend, and Evan Rachel Wood is dating Katherine Moennig from "Ray Donovan" and "The L Word."
In his online "Survivor: San Juan Del Sur" bio, Drew Christy says of his Personal Claim To Fame: " I seem to pull off the unthinkable with ease. People will ask me... How did you do that?"
On Wednesday night's "Survivor," Drew absolutely pulled off the unthinkable. In 44 minutes of television, Drew went from a position of power in a tribe that couldn't lose, a tribe on which the women were on a minority and couldn't create any sort of meaningful alliance to having his torch snuffed. Along the way, he decided to throw a challenge, but didn't tell anybody, led a campaign to vote out Kelley, but couldn't get a single person to join him, and managed to mobilize the tribe's women so that, amidst the chaos Drew created, they were able to vote him out in an impressive blindside.
Drew pulled off the unthinkable and I was, indeed, eager to ask the 25-year-old traveling sales rep how he did it.
Unfortunately, I was out of town this week and had to conduct my "Survivor" exit interview with Drew via email through the show's team. The email option is one I'm tremendously grateful to have when, every season or two, I just can't do my normal phone interview. But doing interviews in this way makes it impossible to ask follow-up questions or to reask questions when queries come up that the subject would prefer not to answer.
In the case of my Drew interview, I probably would have wanted follow-ups to nearly every question and I would have wanted second shots at the five or six questions that didn't get answered at all. It's too bad, because Drew says in one of the responses that he didn't think the edit was a good representation of his time out there, but several questions that would have let him go into depth on his own interpretations went unanswered.
Don't expect illumination here...
When we last left the Doctor and Clara, the former had shown his willingness to sacrifice the one to save the majority while the latter had proved the Doctor isn't the only one who lies. Determined to keep up her double life, Clara's playing a dangerous game with both Twelve and Danny.
But who was behind the computerized voice of Gus? Or does it even matter? Will "Flatline" continue the trend of the Monster-Of-The-Week (MOTW) or will the threads of this season start to coalesce? Time to find out!
Either we're in the 1970s or this balding hipster hasn't updated his decor since then. He's whispering into a corded wall phone — truly an archaic device — to the police. He knows who did "it" and they're everywhere. Whoever "they" are prove the hipster's paranoid delusions are true by instantly murdering him.
Godspeed, sir. You make delightfully eccentric wallpaper.
In the TARDIS, Clara is haphazardly throwing her stuff into a bag. Ostensibly because Danny doesn't like her leaving things behind, but in reality because Danny can't find out she didn't break up with the Doctor. Twelve is suspicious of a boyfriend being cool with time and space travel, but not with Clara leaving her toothbrush around. However, he doesn't pick up on Clara being adamant in making sure they've returned to the EXACT same time and place they left from earlier.
Unrelated to anything, Clara's jacket is amazing.
Ms. Oswald lies straight to Twelve's face and turns to leave. But there is a problem. The TARDIS door is significantly smaller than it should be. It's never done this before so of course the Doctor is intrigued. They both squeeze through (which is a hilarious visual) and OH MY GLOB. Sexy is so cute and adorable! But also, this probably spells certain doom, or at least a Scooby-Doo mystery to solve.
The Doctor is excited. Clara is pissed because they definitely didn't land back in her apartment. "Let me enjoy this moment of not knowing something. It happens so rarely," Twelve opines. Quite frankly, it's refreshing to see this return to a Doctor who revels in not knowing instead of bluffing that he knows everything. Clara agrees with Twelve and wanders off to see if anything strange is in the area while the Doctor tries to figure out why the TARDIS is suddenly way, way smaller on the outside.
Nearby, graffiti artist Rigsy is suffering the indignity of doing community service…by painting over his own work. His supervisor is the instantly deplorable Fenton, a man who exhibits the kind of casual cruelty that makes you instantly hope he's slated for death by monster.
A quick cut back to inside the TARDIS, where the Doctor is doing science with steampunk googles — hell yea! — when Sexy starts shaking like a Polaroid picture. That can't be good.
Wandering around near the Bristol train station, Clara stumbles upon a memorial of some sort. Photos and candles and teddy bears are gathered against a wall. Further off underneath the bridge are murals of people, all with their backs facing the viewer.
One of the community service guys cat calls her and Rigsy is like "Dude, what the hell? It's a MEMORIAL," and abandons his civic duty to perform the sacred right of spewing exposition at a main character. He tells her about all the people who have gone missing, including the most recent person. I assume he's talking about poor Balding Hipster. Finally, a clue!
Clara quickly returns to where she left the TARDIS but it's nowhere in sight…until she looks down. Sexy is now a Teacup TARDIS. The Doctor explains something is leeching the external dimensions but he's still the same size. Then he proves it by sticking his hand out of the tiny door and my brain is not happy about what it's looking at but I have no words to describe this emotion.
Twelve instructs Clara to put the TARDIS in her bag, explaining he futzed with the weight and pointing out if the TARDIS didn't displace her weight all the time, her true size would fracture the surface of the Earth. Huh, never really thought about that.
Before getting into her purse, the Doctor hands Clara the tools she'll need to defeat whatever is out there. The psychic paper, the sonic screwdriver, and a nanotech optic nerve implant so Twelve can see what she sees.
Our artist Rigsy catches back up and asks Clara who she is. With an evil grin, Clara declares herself to be the Doctor. "Doctor Oswald," to be precise. Inside the TARDIS, Twelve bristles, so of course she twists the knife by adding she's not really a Doctor, she just picked the title because it makes her sound important.
With her local guide in tow, Rigsy and Doctor Oswald head to the latest crime scene. And it's definitely not Balding Hipster's house. Rigsy says when the victim disappeared, there was no sign of a struggle. The spookiest thing though? The doors were locked…from the inside. Great. We're inside a fireside ghost story.
Side note: I assume that cracked desertscape one the wall is important, since the camera lingers on it.
Talking to the Doctor, who Rigsy can't see or hear, Clara is coming off as slightly bonkers. Her declaration that perhaps the victim fell prey to a shrink ray, before getting down to start looking under furniture, is the last straw. Doctor or not, Rigsy can smell crazy and he is out of here. In a moment of desperation to keep her local guide, Clara busts out the Teacup TARDIS and introduces him to the Doctor.
Somehow this soothes Rigsy and he is back on board. A tiny person in a miniature police box is cool, I guess? Maybe Rigsy was a fan of "The Indian in the Cupboard" as a child.
But opening the TARDIS doors has let whatever was leeching the external dimensions steal the INTERNAL dimensions! I don't know what that means but sounds bad! Clara agrees and closes the door while the Doctor paces near the chalkboard which is still housing the unknown equation that been around all season. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
To the next crime scene! Okay, THIS is definitely Balding Hipster's house. His commitment to the decorating schemes of the 1970s is admirably, if misguided. Clara has convinced a local police officer — via psychic paper — that she's here to take over. At Twelve's direction, she starts sledgehammering the walls. Sadly, there are no wolves inside them.
While Rigsy pumps Clara for information about how she got her "job," the police officer steps into another room to talk to her superior on the phone. Which means it's time for her to die. Oh look, the walls are melting! Either that's the monster or we've all got a contact high from being in this house.
By the way, cool suspended egg chair.
Nope, it was the monster and definitely NOT drugs. The officer dies screaming as whatever it is sucks her right into the ground. By the time Clara and Rigsy arrive, there's nothing left but her flashlight. Looking through Clara's eyes, the Doctor finally realizes what is going on. The mural on the wall isn't a spooky forest, but a flattened nervous system. The cracked desert was human skin. Whatever the MOTW is, it's from a universe with only two dimensions.
And it's vivisecting humans to try and figure out the third one.

VANCOUVER, BC. It seems like so long ago, but "Once Upon a Time" actually began with Jennifer Swan's Emma Swan on a date.
Romantically it wasn't a successful liaison, but it established Emma's skip-tracer as a non-nonsense woman with no time for fairy tales. Eventually, she made time.
Another Emma Swan date last season, with Chris Gorham's yet-to-monkey-out Walsh, was used to show audiences how memory-free Emma was adapting to single life in New York City.
This Sunday (October 19), Emma is back on the prowl, but as you can see from the picture accompanying this story, fans are going to see a much different side of Emma's romantic life.
After several seasons of flirting and wooing and resisting and that awkward thing where Emma lost her powers by performing mouth-to-mouth on him, plus a big kiss and then more flirting and wooing, Emmy and reformed pirating bad-boy Hook are going out on a date.
And no, they're not going to Granny's.
Fast National ratings for friday, October 17, 2014.
Although "Cristela" was down in its second airing, the freshman comedy still played its part in helping ABC narrowly win Friday night among young viewers. The margin-of-victory there was small because "The Amazing Race" delivered season highs for CBS, helping the network rule overall.
Otherwise, it was business-as-usual on Friday, "Shark Tank" delivering primetime's best key demo number, "Blue Bloods" leading overall and "Utopia" coming in a low.
Let's get to the numbers...
Oh, come on.
I'm doing a slew of set visits in Vancouver and I started watching "The Amazing Race" after midnight and within 20 minutes, it was clear that nobody was going home on Friday's (October 17) episode.
Nope. You can't make your entire episode into an semi-altruistic showcase, essentially a joint commercial for Ford hybrids and Danish eco-consciousness and then send somebody home. Nope, this was an episode about good feelings for both a country trying to do well by Mother Earth and a company paying "The Amazing Race" to talk about its automotive advancements.
But then, to make matters worse, it became clear based on the editing -- and based on a week of very spoilery editing -- that this was the week that Jim's hubris would finally catch up with previously formidable Team Dentist. Actually, it had always been Jim's hubris that ran the risk of cursing the Dentists, but Misti got in on the action when she got to the Detour and talked about how their job was about attention to detail. I guess it's true that dentists are, by their professional nature, very invested in detail. The Dentists then proceeded to blunder every imaginable detail across three different tasks.
But the Dentists have the all-powerful Save, so they were never going to go home no matter how badly they self-immolated -- between this and "Survivor," this was very much a week for CBS reality self-immolation -- so it was this was an episode that felt like a Non-Elimination episode and was going to be a Non-Elimination Leg regardless if Jim & Misti finished last.
So which was it?
"Birdman" flies into theaters this weekend, and with it comes one of the year's most finely tuned and vibrant ensembles. Indeed, as wonderful as Michael Keaton is in the leading role, and as much as actors like Edward Norton and Emma Stone stand out on the periphery, one of the unsung stories of the film is how well the cast jumped through the hoops of production, turning out an incredibly organic community performance.
"The Knick" has wrapped up its first season, and I have a review of the finale coming up just as soon as your colon has to go as well...
"Scandal" appears to have moved past its dependence on cliffhangers
"Scandal" was written around cliffhangers in its first three seasons, but the cliffhangers have now passed on to "How To Get Away with Murder." As Joshua Alston says of "Scandal," "It's no longer a political thriller with heavy-to-a-fault spy genre flourishes, it's 'Grey's Anatomy' in the White House. And if that's indeed what the writers are going for, the absence of a central, hashtag-friendly mystery makes perfect sense. I've been suspiciously anticipating this direction, but I'm far less worried than I was. If 'Like Father, Like Daughter' is any indication, that version of Scandal would be well-worth watching, if perhaps not the Twitter fuel it once was." PLUS: "Scandal" Secret Service agent talks about his big role.

David Ayer's World War II actioner "Fury" with Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman and Shia LaBeouf has arrived in theaters nationwide. The film enters the awards season without bothering with a festival bow (aside from this weekend's post-release closing night London Film Festival slot). It might be an Oscar contender at the end of the day, it might not, but surely Sony is mostly concerned with finding some box office capital before worrying too much about that.

Things are being built upon cloud foundations to transform organizations. This CEO Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo, moderated by Roger Strukhoff, Cloud Expo and @ThingsExpo conference chair, will address the big issues involving these technologies and, more important, the results they will achieve. How important are public, private, and hybrid cloud to the enterprise? How does one define Big Data? And how is the IoT tying all this together?

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

Have you ever seen the show How It's Made on the Science Channel? Well, we are going to take you behind the scenes to show you the mechanical side of engineering TCP LED bulbs and fixtures. I spoke with George, an engineering specialist, to find out about his role in the making of LED bulbs.
How did you get started in this field?
"That goes way back to vocational school, where they had a mechanical drafting program. I learned on real equipment the basics of being a draft person."
How long have you been with TCP?
"Four years at TCP and I worked my way up with my education and experience."
What is your favorite part of your job?
"Five o'clock (we laughed). No seriously, it would be the beginning of a project, because there are no rules or the rules haven't been determined yet."
Please explain your role in the making of LED bulbs.
"I am on the mechanical side of engineering and therefore work on the mechanical parts of the bulb (the design, but nothing electrical). I am given parameters; that is what makes it fun. My job is a little artsy and a little industrial. I have to make sure all of the electronics fit in the component. ANSI (American National Standards Institute) comes out with standards of the sizes parts need to be so the product can fit in already existing light fixtures. This helps prevent compatibility problems. ANSI's standards give minimums and maximums to work within. I use the standards to start constructing how the product will work and how it will look. Some of the projects we just wing it because there are no
Do you have a favorite project?
"They are all favorites. I do have one that I really enjoyed working on, it was a six inch ceiling can replacement."
Keep checking back to our blog page to meet more of the TCP team and learn what they do behind the scenes to contribute to our products.

9 tips to match tools to the task
"Demolition can be carried out by various methods; however the choosing the safest and simplest method is the general rule. It can be easily accomplished for the small two to three storied buildings for example houses. In this case laborers can demolish the building manually with their traditional equipment .or other mechanical equipment like cranes, excavators or bulldozers. Generally both mechanical and manual methods are used simultaneously. For larger buildings we need different equipment like wrecking ball, a heavy weight on a cable that is swung by a crane into the side of the buildings. Wrecking balls are not an efficient method that is use for destroying the building.

The Freedom of Thought 2012 report: the non-religious are still being persecuted
Like many non-religious people around the world, I use the internet to express my thoughts. Especially in a country where the vast majority believe in one religion, and do not like to hear any criticisms, the internet provides a relatively safe way of speaking freely. Or so I thought.
