A Companion to Critical and Cultural Theory
- Edited with Sarah Blacker and Justin Sully
Wiley-Blackwell (forthcoming 2016)
A Companion to Critical and Cultural Theory offers a fresh perspective on both familiar and under-theorized questions and topics animating the field of contemporary critical and cultural theory. It provides a full account of the history and scope of the field, focusing on the most pressing questions and problems that occupy and impel contemporary theoretical discourse. Gathering together some of the most widely read and innovative theorists working today, this Companion offers thirty-nine essays designed to illuminate the topics that dominate theoretical debate today and, we anticipate, for some time to come. By framing its chapters around the problems and issues animating the field today, A Companion to Critical and Cultural Theory offers a theoretical framework within which crucial questions, traditions, approaches, and concepts in critical and cultural theory take on newly generative valences. Capturing the dynamism of contemporary theory, the essays collected in this book will provide a comprehensive account of the ways in which the study of literature and culture has been, and continues to be challenged and energized by critical and cultural theory.
Divided into two sections entitled "Lineages" and "Problematics," the essays in this volume offer a genealogy of critical and cultural theory that highlights its heterogeneous geographical, cultural and theoretical influences ("Lineages"), while also foregrounding the issues and problems animating contemporary theoretical discourse ("Problematics"). Grouped together by analytical orientation into three sub-sections ("Living and Labouring," "Ways of Being," and "Structures of Agency and Belonging"), the essays on problematics cut across the field's existing debates, foci, and subfields, and in so doing highlight new questions and approaches in critical and cultural theory.
On Entrepreneurship
- Edited with Dan Harvey
Special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly 114.3 (July 2015). 181 pages.
On Entrepreneurship: Immaterial Labor and Subjectivity in the Twenty-First Century
With this special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly we seek to interrogate the ways in which the idea of entrepreneurship and the figure of the entrepreneurial subject functions politically, economically, and aesthetically. Although this topic has been and is being addressed from business, management, and organization perspectives, there has been little sustained investigation from a cultural studies, humanities, and social science perspective since Foucualt's preliminary investigations in the 1970s. While his work appears prescient (coming before the neoliberal regimes inaugurated by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Regan), the intensified developments of entrepreneurial modes of economic and social being since the 1980s deserve renewed interest.
This issue addresses gaps in contemporary cultural research on enterprise and the entrepreneur. We see these terms embodying a number of other key words that increasingly structure the ways in which correct behavior is imagined for individuals and communities: flexibility, perpetual training, innovation, risk management, leadership, creativity, self-motivation, responsibility, and all those other ways in which the individual must become, in Foucault's words, the site of "permanent and multiple enterprise" (241). As well, investigations of the entrepreneurial can themselves incorporate any number of other key concepts for contemporary cultural studies and social science: precarity, development, governmentality and biopolitics, liberalism and neoliberalism, globalization, debt and credit, financialization, workfare and other decentered modes of employment, the celebration of the individual, and so on.
Contributors include Nicole Cohen, Joanna Figiel, Matthew Flisfeder, Mellanie Gilligan, Dan Harvey, Miranda Joseph, Leigh Claire La Berge, Andrew Pendakis, Stevphen Shukaitis, Imre Szeman and Marina Vishmidt.
Contemporary Marxist Theory: An Anthology
- Edited by Andrew Pendakis, Jeff Diamanti, Nicholas Brown, Josh Robinson and Imre Szeman
- Bloomsbury, 2014. 640 pages.
This anthology brings together major texts in late twentieth century Marxist thought, focusing on work written during the past two decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It takes as its point of departure the strong sense that—contrary to rumours of its death in conjunction with the end of state socialism—the influence and impact of Marxist theory is today stronger than ever, and has become even more essential for understanding our historical conjuncture than during the Cold War. The crisis-ridden world produced by global capitalism requires theoretically sophisticated and critically sharp analyses of political and economic systems and structures, and of the social and cultural imaginaries which inflect and shape their formation. It is impossible to ignore the fact that the voices dominating critical and cultural theory in the past two decades have belonged to thinkers identified with the ideas of Marxist thought and its intellectual heritage. This book fills a significant gap in the contemporary world of ideas by showcasing an area of scholarly analysis whose impact on intellectual thought and political action will only grow in coming years.
Fueling Culture: 101 Words for Energy and Environment
- Edited with Jennifer Wenzel and Patricia Yaeger
Fordham University Press
Forthcoming Fall 2016
How has our relation to energy changed over time? What differences do specific energy sources make to human values and politics? What concepts and theories allow us to clarify our relation to energy, and which just get in the way? And how have changing energy resources transformed culture in turn? Fueling Culture: 100 Words for Energy and the Environment collects conceptual interventions, illuminating short narratives and adventurous think-pieces from major scholars to generate new ways of thinking about energy. Rather than offering a catalog of existing knowledge, the keywords collected in Fueling Culture push past the limits of current discourse, much of which focuses on the irresolvable contradictions of dependence upon unsustainable energy forms.
Fueling Culture brings together writing that is risk-taking and interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from political economy, political ecology, environmental history, eco-criticism, postcolonial and globalization studies, and materialisms old and new, including thing theory and actor network theory. Since the significant social, political and cultural predicaments generated by energy are moving to the forefront of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, the aim of this book is to generate novel insights into the social circulation of energy and the importance of energy for critical investigations and interpretations of culture today.
Topics include: aboriginal, abundance, addiction, altruism, America, anthropocene, architecture, Arctic, automobile, biopolitics/energopolitics, biological evolution, celluloid, charcoal, China, coal, community, corporation, crisis, dams, demand, disaster, ecology, electricity, engine, Enlightenment, ethics, evolution, exhaust, exhaustion, fallout, fracking, frontier, geophilosophy, gender, globalization, green, image, innovation, intellectual history, kerosene, Latin America, materialism, media, mediashock, Middle East, network, Nigeria, off-grid, peak, pipeline, plastics, resilience, resource curse, risk, rubber, rural, Russia, security, soil, solar, spills, strike, suburb, sugar, surveillance, sustainability, Texas, unobtanium, urban ecology, United States, utopia, waste, water, whaling, wood and work.

After Globalization
- Eric Cazdyn and Imre Szeman
- Wiley-Blackwell, 2011. 256 pages.
- Blackwell Manifestos Series
In lively and unflinching prose, Eric Cazdyn and Imre Szeman argue that contemporary thought about the world is disabled by a fatal flaw: the inability to think "an after" to globalization. After establishing seven theses (on education, morality, history, future, capitalism, nation, and common sense) that challenge the false promises that sustain this time-limit, After Globalization examines four popular thinkers (Thomas Friedman, Richard Florida, Paul Krugman and Naomi Klein) and how their work is dulled by these promises. Cazdyn and Szeman then speak to students from around the globe who are both unconvinced and uninterested in these promises and who understand the world very differently than the way it is popularly represented. After Globalization argues that a true capacity to think an after to globalization is the very beginning of politics today.
"Cadzyn and Szeman begin with the idea that the current economic crisis has historicized globalization, turning it from a process that looked as inevitable as, say, global warming still does, into an episode in the history of capitalism: hence the possibility not just of more globalization but of an "after globalization." And hence also, they argue, the renewed possibility of an "after capitalism." In powerful critiques of what they describe as the common sense of capital today they sketch out the terms in which changes more radical than substituting generous and honest leaders for the greedy and dishonest ones we've currently got might begin to be imagined."
—Walter Benn Michaels, University of Illinois at Chicago
"Relentlessly, remorselessly, endlessly, we are told there is no alternative to globalization, whether our lecturers are bourgeois economists, progressive journalists, or imaginative litterateurs. Eric Cazdyn and Imre Szeman dare to go beyond the standard thinking of the day and query the very heart of mobile capital and its impact on daily life. Their alternative vision breathes new life into our sense of evolution and inevitability."
—Toby Miller, author of Globalization and Sport and Global Hollywood
"Part 1 [of After Globalization] argues that the economic crisis of 2008 and its aftermath exposed capitalism as the rotting core of globalization, which had been hidden away for years while globalization was treated as a quasi-natural phenomenon. However, the public and scholars alike have failed to come to grips with the need to conceive an alternative to capitalism, given its once again obvious deficiencies as a fundamental organizing system for human interaction. Part 2 provides relatively fine-grained critiques from this same perspective on the writings of Richard Florida, Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman, and Naomi Klein, plus the film Michael Clayton. Part 3 consists of interviews with students ages 18-30 at a number of sites around the world. The students, like the authors, 'see a troubled world in need of fundamental change,' but are unable to conceive or articulate what that change would entail. They end not with easy answers but with a call not to give up on radical possibilities and utopian futures. Summing Up: Recommended." — M. F. Farrell, Choice
"Offers a much-needed tonic to more than two decades of less-than-critical analyses of the concept of globalization," and in doing so, is poised to "launch us into a more nuanced and developed discussion of economic models based on, for instance, environmentally sustainable practices and principles that would offer an urgent and rational redistribution of wealth and free us from globalization's 'perpetual present, a project and a period without end'." — Graeme Stout, Cultural Critique
Cultural Theory: An Anthology
- Edited by Imre Szeman and Tim Kaposy
- Wiley-Blackwell, 2010. 584 pages.
- Cultural Theory on Wiley.com
Cultural Theory: An Anthology is a collection of the essential readings that have shaped and defined the field of contemporary cultural theory.
" Cultural Theory constitutes a valuable resource for scholars, as well as a springboard for further discussion. Introductions to each of the six sections, which focus on key concepts, themes, or topics in cultural theory, as well as the introduction to the anthology as a whole, are clear and succinct, and enough bases are covered here to make the anthology appealing to a wide range of researchers. Lists of additional readings, and the inclusion of a glossary of terms, further enhance what is undeniably a welcome intervention in the field. In short, this is not an anthology we will be stopping doors with any time soon." —Heather Snell, ariel
"This anthology is an extraordinarily useful toolbox for teaching cultural theory. But more than that, by organizing the texts around a series of core concepts, it not only provides students with an excellent introduction but also gives scholars a fresh perspective on the field." —Michael Hardt, Duke University
"Cultural theory has expanded its influence immensely over the past two decades. Now we have a comprehensive selection of the best and most influential writers in the field, ably compiled and introduced by expert editors." —Toby Miller, University of California, Riverside
"The introductory chapters for each section are uniformly cogent and well written, and the choices of material are judicious and at times refreshingly unexpected. Cultural Theory: An Anthology is set to become the standard classroom text in the field." —Nicholas Lawrence, University of Warwick
"Essential reading for all students of culture, whatever their disciplinary background." —Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London
Cultural Autonomy: Frictions and Connections
- Edited by Petra Rethmann, Imre Szeman and William Coleman
- University of British Columbia Press, 2010. 330 pages.
- Cultural Autonomy at UBC Press
- Chinese translation, forthcoming.
Globalization has challenged concepts such as local culture and cultural autonomy, and the rampant commodification of cultural products has challenged the way we define culture itself. Have these developments transformed the relationship between culture and autonomy? Have traditional notions of cultural autonomy been recast?
Cultural Autonomy showcases the work of scholars who are exploring new ways of understanding the critical issue of globalization and culture. By defining culture broadly — as a set of ideas or practices that range from skateboarding to the work of public intellectuals such as Edward Said — they trace how issues of cultural autonomy have played out in various areas, including the human rights and environmental movements and among indigenous peoples. Although the contributors focus on the marginalized issue of autonomy, they offer a balanced perspective — one that reveals that globalization has not only limited but also created new forms of cultural autonomy.

Canadian Cultural Studies: A Reader
- Edited by Sourayan Mookerjea, Imre Szeman and Gail Faurschou
- Duke University Press, 2009. 608 pages.
- Canadian Cultural Studies: A Reader at Duke University Press
Canada is situated geographically, historically, and culturally between old empires (Great Britain and France) and a more recent one (United States), as well as on the terrain of First Nations communities. Poised between historical and metaphorical empires and operating within the conditions of incomplete modernity and economic and cultural dependency, Canada has generated a body of cultural criticism and theory, which offers unique insights into the dynamics of both center and periphery. The reader brings together for the first time in one volume recent writing in Canadian cultural analysts of the postwar era.
Including essays by anglophone, francophone, and First Nations writers, the reader is divided in to three parts, the first of which features essays by scholars who helped set the agenda for cultural and social analysis in Canada and remain important to contemporary intellectual formations: Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, and Anthony Wilden in communications theory; Northrop Frye in literary studies; George Grant and Harold Innis in a left-nationalist tradition of critical political economy; Fernand Dumont and Paul-Émile Borduas in Quebecois national and political culture; and Harold Cardinal in native studies.
The volume's second section showcases work in which contemporary authors address Canada's problematic and incomplete nationalism; race, difference, and multiculturalism; and modernity and contemporary culture. The final section includes excerpts from federal policy documents that are especially important to Canadians' conceptions of their social, political, and cultural circumstances. The reader opens with a foreword by Fredric Jameson and concludes with an afterword in which the Quebecois scholar Yves Laberge explores the differences between English-Canadian cultural studies and the prevailing forms of cultural analysis in francophone Canada.
"The editors deserve credit for bringing together scattered and not easily accessible seminal articles focusing on Canadian economy and polity. This anthology, comprising historical, contemporary, multidisciplinary, theoretical, and critical essays, will remain an essential sourcebook on Canadian cultural studies. Summing Up: Highly recommended." —D. A. Chekki, Choice
"This reader is a timely and provocative reflection on Canadian cultural studies. While some readers may be familiar with many of the essays, encountering them again will prove to be rewarding for the new insights that their juxtapositions in this volume offer. This volume attests to not only to the substantial history of cultural theory in Canada, but also to its vibrancy."
—Lily Cho, ariel
" Canadian Cultural Studies marks an important publication. . . . With contributions from media studies, literary studies, cultural studies, Aboriginal studies, and studies of multiculturalism, as well as government policy documents and a concerted effort to bridge the divide between Quebec and the rest of Canada, this reader does a great job of covering its ground. . . . [T]hese are essential essays and documents. It is, moreover, an accessible and useful text that I heartily recommend to instructors of Canadian studies looking to foster a sense of academic rigour in their courses." —Kit Dobson, Canadian Literature
" Canadian Cultural Studies is a brilliant study and appropriation of some of the most important issues that have been central to the history of cultural studies. But there is more at work in this book than appropriation; Canadian Cultural Studies rewrites that legacy and establishes Canada as a society in which cultural studies as a theoretical discourse and practice is being played out in ways that make this book indispensable to understanding what cultural studies has become and where it might be going in the future. This is an extraordinary book for anyone interested in cultural studies and the importance of Canada in rewriting and applying some of its most fundamental assumptions."—Henry A. Giroux, author of Youth in a Suspect Society: Democracy or Disposability?
"For those familiar with cultural studies in Canada, this reader offers a necessary and illuminating consolidation of key texts. For newer eyes, there is fresh inspiration. Expertly selected and organized, the material assembled here is a gilded invitation to explore this rich field of interdisciplinary and politically engaged cultural analysis. Canadian Cultural Studies: A Reader is a vital contribution to contemporary currents in the study of globalization, nationhood, and identity."—Charles R. Acland, author of Screen Traffic: Movies, Multiplexes, and Global Culture
"The greatest strengths of Canadian Cultural Studies: A Reader are its rich contextualizations and, relatedly, its presentation of an implicit dialogue between the volume's contributors. Its editors… bring together key essays contributing to the emergence of the field in Canada while providing a comprehensive map of Canadian cultural studies scholarship from the 1950s to the present." —Susan Pell, Topia

We consider two topologies for the deployment of nodes in a one-dimensional network. The first deployment scenario considers nodes equally spaced on a line, while the second topology has groups of co-located nodes, such that the groups are equally spaced on the line, and such that the two networks have equal average density. In both linear topologies, nodes transmit cooperatively, as opportunistic large arrays, in each hop. The difference is only that in the first topology, the cooperators have disparate path loss, while in the second they do not. We study the multi-hop transmission for both cases, where the one hop distance remains the same for both the topologies. We model both the scenarios with a quasi-stationary Markov chain and show that the co-located groups deployment gives better performance, especially for higher path loss exponents.

Product Description
Victorinox Swiss Army Cutlery
Who is Victorinox?
Although Victorinox is known the world over as the creator of the Original Swiss Army Knife, the company started out in 1884 as a cutlery workshop. By the time company creator Karl Elsener delivered his first pocket knife to the Swiss Army, his cutlery business was already booming. Over the next century, Victorinox cutlery became a top-rated choice among professionals worldwide, with over 300 blades to offer.
Victorinox knives have regularly appeared as highly ranked and recommended kitchen tools in Cook's Illustrated, Men's Health, The Cincinnati Enquirer, New York Magazine, and Natural Health, just to name a few. In 2009, the company announced a partnership with professional chef, Daniel Humm, of Eleven Madison Park in New York City. In addition, building on the success of its cutlery business, Victorinox has brought all the same quality and expertise to a wider range of products and accessories, including other kitchen tools, pocket tools, watches, luggage, and clothing.
Who is R.H. Forschner?
Victorinox had been a staple in European commercial cutlery for over 50 years when approached by New York's R.H. Forschner, known since 1855 as a builder of scales for butchers, to be their sole cutlery supplier. The two companies joined forces in 1937, and R.H. Forschner subsequently became North America's dominant professional brand, as ubiquitous in the bustling meatpacking plants of the Midwest as it is in the gleaming, four-star restaurant kitchens of Midtown Manhattan.
As a division of Victorinox/Swiss Army Brands, R.H. Forschner marketed cutlery under the brand name "RH Forschner by Victorinox" and distributed to the commercial, food service, and retail trade classes. That brand has been considered a top choice of professionals worldwide with over 300 styles of blades bearing the R.H. Forschner name. However, in 2009, in conjunction with Victorinox's 125th anniversary, the company, Victorinox Swiss Army, Inc., has decided to remove the "RH Forschner" name from all blades. Blades thenceforth only include the "Victorinox" name.
What is a stamped blade?
A stamped knife can usually be identified by the absence of a bolster. Stamped blades are cut into their shapes from cold-rolled pieces of steel and then ground, tempered, and sharpened. Creating them requires many less steps than forging and results in lighter, narrower blades. Some professionals prefer the thicker, heavier forged blades, but many pros, who spend much of their day cutting and slicing, enjoy a lighter knife since it's less fatiguing and easier to manipulate at speed.
Stamped knives are easier to produce and therefore less expensive. They perform very well and can approach the quality of a forged blade, but not the weight or feel. Victorinox manufactures a complete range of stamped blades with unique, patented Fibrox handles and they are considered among the greatest values in the knife industry.
What knives do I need to own?
Knife choice or selection is determined by many factors--size, function, style, and preference. The most important factor is function. Different knives have different uses. It is important to use the proper knife for a specific task, since proper knife selection and the use of a proper-sized, sharp knife make for safe cutting. General kitchen tasks and the knife to use for them are as follows:
- Paring: The most common to own and use, a paring knife is generally for small cutting jobs and peeling of vegetables or fruit. The blade size is usually from three to four inches. Choose the shape and size to fit your hand. Since this is one of the more versatile knives, owning more than one is recommended.
- Chef's: The most important tool and essential to every cook, a chef's knife is most often used in a rocking method to mince, dice, and chop vegetables and herbs. This one is known as the chef's best friend.
- Slicer: Most commonly used to slice meats, poultry, and seafood, the slicer is an important companion to any host or hostess.
- Boning: As its name suggests, a boning knife is used to trim or remove meat and fish from the bone.
- Bread: Designed with a special edge, a bread knife makes easy work of cutting through crusty bread, pastries, or any item with a crust and a soft interior.
- Fillet: Most often used by pros and seasoned home chefs, the fillet knife is used to fillet meat and fish.
- Cleaver: An important addition to any collection, a cleaver is often used to cut or chop through bones.
- Santoku: This knife combines the features of a cleaver with a chef's knife. The curved blade helps the rocking motion used for chopping, and the wide blade works well for scooping sliced food off a cutting board and for crushing garlic. The santoku can also be used to slice meat and has a narrow spine for making thin cuts.
- Utility: An all-purpose knife often referred to as a sandwich knife, the utility knife peels and slices fruits and vegetables, and even carves small meats.
- Shaping: With its curved blade, a shaping knife is great for small precision cuts where control is essential, such as peeling, trimming, or garnishing.
What are the different knife edges and what do they do?
- Straight: The vast majority of Victorinox knives come with a straight or fine edge. This means it has a perfect taper along the blade and no serrations. It is designed to cut without tearing or shredding.
- Serrated: An edge designed with small, jagged teeth along the edge.
- Scalloped: A blade with waves along the edge generally used to cut breads with a hard crust and soft interior, as well as tougher-skinned fruits and vegetables.
- Granton: This edge has hollowed-out grooves or dimples on the sides of the blade. These grooves fill with the fat and juices of the product being cut, allowing for thin, even cuts without tearing. Even with the grooves, these are still straight-edge knives and can be honed with a sharpening steel.
How should I care for my cutlery?
After use, knives should not be allowed to soak in water. The best practice is to hand wash and dry them immediately. This is especially true if they have been used on fruit or salty foods, which may cause some staining, even on stainless steel. Most knives require very little maintenance and it is worth the effort to protect your investment.
Though Victorinox knives are dishwasher safe, this is strongly discouraged. The dishwasher's agitation may cause damage. Additionally, harsh detergents can be harmful and cause pitting and spotting on the blades. The handles may also discolor and develop a white film with constant use of the dishwasher. Plus, intense heat associated with dishwashers is not good for the temper of the blade.
How do I keep my knives sharp?
All quality knives require proper maintenance to keep them in perfect cutting shape. The best of edges will quickly dull if it strikes metal, glass, or Formica. A wooden cutting board makes the best cutting surface. And, if a slip occurs, a proper cutting board is safer for the user. Frequent use of a Victorinox sharpening steel will keep blades in tip top working condition. All straight-edge knives need steeling to keep their edges.
How to "Steel" a Knife
- Hold the steel firmly in your left hand with the guard positioned to stop the blade should it slip.
- Hold the knife in your right hand and place on top part of steel as shown.
- Raise back of blade one-eighth inch.
- Now, moving the blade only, draw it across the steel in an arching curve, pivoted at your wrist. The blade tip should leave the steel about two-thirds of the way down.
- Repeat the same action with the Blade on the bottom side of the steel. Always maintain the same pressure and angle on both sides of the steel.
- Repeat five or six times.
How should I store my knives?
Safety is the biggest concern of storage, both to the user and to protect the knife's edge. Choices include a knife magnet, knife block, drawer insets, and also individual knife protectors.

All knives require maintenance, make sure you learn how to actually sharpen a knife, keep your knife steeled and make sure to care for your steel too. I use emery 120 grit on my steel. Works like a charm.
Having done back to back comparisons for cleaning up and chopping a brisket, pork loin, ribs,
and steaks, this is the right tool for the job. Oddly enough, the buthchers at both Safeway
and Fry's (Kroeger), were using these as well when I asked upon having some steaks cut.
This is far better than trying to use my other knives for the job. I can bake a roast and cut
ribs with ease when I get a bone in roast. If the occasion calls for it, I can make bone-in
steaks easily as well. Sinew and cart. are worked through with minimal pressure and the clean
cuts make for great steaks and easy preparation.
I Highly recommend this knife for anyone working with large cust of meat from full cuts of beef
to whole brisket to bone-in pork loin.
Buy it and you won't regret it.
It's very reasonably priced, unlike some other brands. I can't comment on durability in a professional setting, but some butchers who have reviewed it here seem to like it.
However, you might say something like, "but I need a big knife to do some big jobs." If that is what you are thinking, try using a machete as a tool in the space that you will be using this knife (seriously, I'm not joking: I have machetes that are shorter than this knife). If the size of the machete is no hindrance, than this is a good knife for you. If you find yourself skewering objects that you aren't intending to skewer or being blocked or cramped, then get a shorter knife. This knife will require 2'x3' box of open space to really be able to take advantage of the length of the blade.
If, however, you work in a commercial kitchen and regularly break down large hunks of things to a smaller size (not just critters, but vegetation too) than this is an amazing knife.
Out of the box, it was sharp enough to shave the hair off of my arm and stayed that way with regular use of a honing steel for well over four months. That was with daily use doing everything from cutting melons, to prepping 10 lb and up roasts, to carving briskets and even many tasks that you would normally use a chef's knife for but I used this simply because I had it handy. The lack of a granton edge on it made for thin slices of ham and the like a bit tricky, but it was still manageable.
It's tough enough to take apart winter squash without being dangerous and yet well balanced enough to slice tomatoes for sandwiches.Read more ›

Grand Caillou roadwork nearly done
Published: Sunday, March 18, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 18, 2007 at 1:24 a.m.
HOUMA -- Drivers are finally getting a break from rough streets and gridlock traffic on Grand Calliou Road, where a repaving project wrapped upconstruction this week eight months ahead of schedule.
Only some striping and miscellaneous curb work is left to be done, which shouldnt disrupt drivers too much and will be finished quickly, said Dawn DAngelo, Barriere Constructions project manager.
Construction began Jan. 1, and the project was expected to take 10 months to complete but only took two. DAngelo credits the volume of crews Barriere committed to the project for the quick job.
"We put out four crews instead of one and doubled up on the work," DAngelo said. "We just didnt want to inconvenience the drivers for too long."
Though traffic was often backed up, DAngelo said she didnt get any complaints from drivers. People actually called and thanked the company for a job well done because they saw workers out there paving so diligently, she said.
"It frustrates people when they see one or two people working out there jamming up traffic," DAngelo said. "But when they come through in the morning and see the crew start work, and then come by in the afternoon and see a whole lane done, theyre happy. Thats as good as it gets."
The Krewe of Mardi Gras was forced take a break from its traditional Grand Caillou route this year because of construction, but Krewe President Gerald Breaux said the move is only temporary.
"Weve been on the east side for 13 years, and everyone enjoys the east side," said Breaux. "Its a tradition."
Breaux said that rolling on the west side of Houma was a "different" experience. The krewe was used to the wider Grand Calliou Road, though crowds were mostly the same.
"We missed it," he said. "Everyone asked us about coming back, and we figured people liked our parade on the east side, so were gonna keep it that way."

Great to emphasize the importance of a choice that may be originally brushed off as absurd, like to sac your queen. Teaches you to reconsider more options as sometimes you can have compensation or better, for doing moves you'd originally not even go further to think about. Just goes to show that even though you may think this, and brush it off, doesn't necessarily always make it the correct thing to do, and it's always important for us to recognize more possibilities and go further despite our thoughts. This is greatly important in Chess! Don't want to miss that chance mainly because you failed to consider the option, as absurd as it may seem. Wouldn't want to decieve/cheat yourself out of that opportunity, all moves always have consequences in Chess.
This what I try to say to my friends who may not play chess or who do not play as much. I liken the game of chess to that of life, since everybody tries to be so 'philosophical' with everybody and all.... hahahaha. Yet when it comes to chess it seems, they probably roll their eyes into the back of their sockets and just think to themselves that I must be full of hot air or something. Hahahahaha.
Too easy.
Ah yes, 1/2 of the Venus fly trap.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development
By allowing multiple users to create and update web pages without the use of HTML or specialized editing software, SharePoint Server 2007 Web Content Managament (WCM) is a fascinating system that organizes web content and design edits from each one of the site's contributors and then compiles all those changes into a finished product. Author and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server MVP Andrew Connell presents the first book to focus on the features and fundamentals of WCM as well as the various services that are offered by the Windows SharePoint Services platform.
Tackle each core aspect of a typical Publishing site development project using the techniques outlined in this book. You'll walk through key points, design elements, and development approaches that will demonstrate how WCM brings the power of content management to a large audience, and you'll quickly grasp why SharePoint Server is a robust platform for hosting content-centric Web sites.
What you will learn from this book
Optimal methods for embarking on web content management projects
Leveraging the provided Publishing Web Parts and creating custom Web Parts
How to create custom field types and field controls
How to customize the SharePoint authoring environment
Techniques for implementing sites with multiple languages and devices
Ways of creating a minimal SharePoint site definition
Implementing an offline authoring experience
Various performance tips, tricks, and traps
Who this book is for
This book is for Web development professionals, particularly ASP.NET 2.0 developers who are building content management sites with the SharePoint platform.
Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.
About the Author
Andrew Connell has a background in content management solutions and Web development that spans back to his time as a student at the University of Florida in the late 1990s managing class sites. He has consistently focused on the challenges facing businesses to maintain a current and dynamic online presence without having to rely constantly on Web developers or have a proficiency in Web technologies.
In 2005 and 2006 he was designated a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Microsoft Content Management Server for his contributions to the MCMS community. When the functionality of MCMS was merged into the SharePoint platform, he became a MOSS MVP (2007 and 2008). Andrew has contributed to numerous MCMS and SharePoint books over the years.
He has spoken on the subject of MOSS 2007 development and WCM at various events and national conferences such as TechEd, SharePoint Connections, VSLive, Office Developer Conference, and the Microsoft SharePoint Conference.
Technology is not only Andrew's job, but also a personal passion: He thrives on expanding his technical knowledge. When not in front of his computer, he enjoys football, golf, the beach, and spending time with his family. He lives in Jacksonville, Florida, with his wife, Meredith, his son, Steven, and their two dogs. You can always find Andrew online at his SharePoint development and WCM-focused blog at www.andrewconnell.com/blog.

I was especially pleased on the sections covering custom fields, field controls and control templates for truly customizing the authoring experience for your content authors. It is hard to find good information on extending the authoring environment and this book gave me enough info to really customize the publishing features of MOSS for my end users and content authors.
While not covering every single possible scenario, this reference provides more than adequate instruction and guidance on using the built in API's to accomplish most tasks. I do not expect a book to spoon feed me everything I need to know about a topic especially if it is to be useful as a general reference. The book does a great job of covering enough of each subject to give you a jump off point to build from on your own projects. As the title states it is in the professional line of WROX books so it expects that you have a good deal of familiarity with MOSS and .Net development. It did a great job of giving instruction without the heavy handed hand holding that some entry level or beginning books tend to lean toward. For those who are not as familiar with SharePoint or .Net I would definitely recommend looking into some introductory training or books first before jumping in. While I would welcome more coverage on some of the topics, they can always go into additional books or in AC's already extensive list of topics covered in his Blog or workshops.
I give this book 5 stars for giving me more tools as a developer to work with the WCM aspects of MOSS. All of the examples in the book so far that I have used have been fully functional despite the fact that this book was probably written prior to the release of some of the fixes that have been released for MOSS like SP1, etc...
I definitely recommend this to anyone who is a SharePoint developer looking to get into the WCM aspects of the product.
What I like about this book:
Chapter 5 dissects SharePoint's out-of-the-box MOSS 2007 Publishing Portal site definition. This chapter then covers how to create a Minimal Publishing Portal site definition which does not include the extraneous artifacts included in the somewhat bloated out-of-the-box version.
I particularly like Chapter 10 on Field Types and Field Controls. Unfortunately, there is little documentation and online resources available about creating custom field types. Andrew's book offers a complete chapter on the subject, with clear explanations and good examples.
Chapter 15 on Authentication and Authorization provides the reader with instructions to configure forms-based authentication for an extranet/internet-facing SharePoint site. Users often have trouble setting up FBA, but this book gives the needed instruction and guidance.
Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development: Building Publishing Sites with Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a must have for any serious SharePoint developer. I have been developing on the SharePoint platform for almost a decade, and this book will stay within arm's reach of my keyboard. Seriously, buy this book today.
-Tony Bierman [MVP WSS]
Some of the highlights for me were: Creating a Minimal Site Def, Site Columns, Master Pages and Page Layouts, Field Types and Controls, and Web Parts. I also found the section on Features and Solutions to be particularly useful as it gave me an excellent step by step guide to packaging my MOSS branding files.
If you are working with MOSS publishing, you need this book.
I have been a regular visitor of AC's blogs which contains a number of tidbits about SharePoint (most of which are not in the MOSS documentation, which is sad). I was eagerly expecting his book on WCM as I am currently working on a WCM project.
However, the book itself is very disappointing in its content. True that it contains a good introduction to WCM component of SharePoint, but I was expecting more beyond what I can find by simple Google blog searches.
Here's my rationale for the 3 stars.
1 star for compiling relevant info on WCM. ASAIK, this is the only book on the WCM aspect of SharePoint to date.
2 stars for covering all the basics of SharePoint, including references to 3rd party tools like Telerik and AKS.
3 stars for covering the field controls, master pages, and layouts with good detail.
That said, here's why I removed the other 2 stars.
1 star for not covering enough on Content Deployment. One of the most important aspects of WCM is content deployment (more so than other aspects of SharePoint). First, there is only one chapter on this. Second, the first 10 pages are about how to get the OOTB job up and running (with screenshots). The remaining 2 pages talk about the API. I was definitely expecting a lot more in this area such as gotchas, tips and tricks, planning, etc. in this section, given that this is a WCM book. Moreover, given the numerous issues that MOSS has with Content Deployment (of which a number of hot fixes have been posted by MS), there is not a single mention on what to watch out for.
1 star for not pointing out the limitations of SharePoint. This a Wrox book not a MS Press book. I expected AC to be a little more even-minded than just be a mouthpiece for MS. There isn't a single mention of where MOSS is limited and what to do about the same. Good examples are in the "Authoring Extensibility" section and in "Accessibility" section.
I wish the book had covered more details in these areas, along with providing details on how to setup a farm for WCM purposes (the concepts of Authoring, Staging, Public, etc.). This would have helped those who want to setup SharePoint explicitly for WCM. The need is there as most other SharePoint books talk about setting up the farm for an Intranet scenario than a WCM scenario.
Overall, it's a good attempt by the author to describe WCM in SharePoint, but it would have been better if it were unbiased and more informative.
Disclaimer: I also appreciate the author for quickly responding to my earlier post explaining his stand. While I don't agree with some of the statements, I can understand his rationale (hence the bump-up by 1 star). Hope the author comes up with a bigger-better book on WCM in future!
I had the misfortune that this book was not yet published when starting my first MOSS 2007 WCM projects. However, even then I still learned and profited from reading.

California is a huge state with lots to offer its college students. From the beaches to the mountains California has a diverse culture and climate, as well as a wide variety of state schools, UC schools and private colleges to choose from. And with so many large cities, there are lots of jobs available too. The numbers in California mirror the national projections for job growth, with the state projected to have 6.3 million job openings by 2022, according to State of California Employment Development Department.
Health care is projected to be the best industry if you are thinking about vocational education.
Everyone from big industries to small business owners are changing the way they hire new positions. Many companies claim that four-year degrees are no longer the norm. Vocational schools in California offer credentials that are less than a four-year degree, such as certifications, technical training or associate degrees.
Trends in vocational education in California
Of the 6.3 million job openings in California, 76 percent require less than a bachelor's degree for employment. This may be good news if you're considering a career in health care, manufacturing or business. Many of those jobs rely on online career and technical education (CTE) for employment training. This means your education focuses on industry-specific classes for a more direct entry into the field. You can get CTE training in California at a number of different places, including community colleges, career and technical schools, industry training centers, and more.
A review of 2013 graduation data for students in California revealed the most popular vocational areas of study included:
- Health Care: Nursing programs in California are typically the most popular vocational route to entering the health care industry, meaning you can get a job without a master's or doctoral degree. Many nursing programs offer 2-year or 1-year programs that end in an Associate Degree of Nursing (ADN) or a certification. This could be a great way to enter the field if you cannot afford school or if you want to enter the workforce quickly. Many California vocational schools offer bridge programs to allow you to continue your education and work on your bachelor's degree as you gain experience in the field.
- Business: Earning a business degree in California could be a good way to complement your skill-set if you work in a specialized trade or vocational industry. Though most business degrees are four-year programs, many California trade schools could offer associate degrees in business or management. This is a great way to boost your career to the next level or open new doors. Business degrees can prepare you for many careers, including
- Protective Services and Law: California, like many other states, is going through a shortage of protective services and law enforcement workers, so there is a big demand. As more and more people leave or retire, not enough new workers are coming in to replace them. Most law enforcement and protective services, such as the fire department, go through a rigorous training and certification process specific to the state. Visit your local police academy to find out more about options in your area.
- Mechanic and Repair Technologies: Mechanics and technicians typically earn postsecondary education at a school or program specific to the type of machines they want to work on -- automotive, small engine, watercraft, aircraft, etc. Mechanic schools in California may offer courses in math, electronics, automotive repair, and customer service. Some business courses could also be useful in this trade. Students may also want to research big manufacturers and dealers to find one that might sponsor your associate degree.
Unlike the bachelor's degree, vocational programs are designed to be completed in as little as a few months to two years of study. In California, the associate degree was the most common educational option in 2013, followed by programs lasting one or less years (e.g. certificate and diplomas).
Employment for graduates of California trade schools
In turn, the state of California divides employment opportunities into two categories: The fastest growing jobs (the most new job openings) and the largest growing (the most new and replacement job openings). Based on a review of these two categories, health care is projected to be the best industry if you are thinking about vocational education.
Health care occupations allow for quick entry into the workplace, requiring two or fewer years of study to graduate. If you are considering associate-level programs, medical careers dominate the list. If you need a shorter preparatory program of study, consider becoming a licensed practical nurse, surgical technologist, or nursing assistant; all three can be completed in approximately one year of full-time study.
Careers with an Associate Degree
Medical and Clinical Laboratory Technicians
Dental Hygienists
Veterinary Technologists and Technicians
Respiratory Therapists
Careers with a Postsecondary Non-Degree Award
Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses
Surgical Technologists
Nursing Assistants
If you're looking for the occupations with the largest number of projected job openings, health care is the industry to consider. The following jobs should see nearly 210,000 new openings in the state of California between 2012 and 2022:
- Registered nurses
- Dental hygienists
- Nursing assistants
- Medical assistants
- Licensed vocational nurses
Expert advice on vocational education in California with Sean Lynch
We wanted to know more about the role of vocational and trade schools in today's industries. Most authoritative sources, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, claim that earning a degree can improve your chances at getting a job. But is a vocational degree enough? We sat down with Sean Lynch, Public Affairs Manager for the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), to get his opinion on vocational education in California.
How do employers view vocational education?
Employers are definitely getting more involved with CTE in greater numbers as they recognize the opportunity that these programs represent for their industry. A great example of this is in IT, which is predicted to be the fastest growing career cluster by 2018. This field requires professionals who can demonstrate to their employer that they have the skills they will need on-the-job - things like industry recognized certifications and credentials. And since employers are the ones that understand their needs for those qualifications, we're seeing them come to the table in a great way to partner with educational institutions and communicate how they can do what's best for students.
Do vocational degrees help graduates get jobs?
Absolutely, CTE degrees and credentials help graduates get into valued careers in growing fields. I think it's important for students to begin with the end in mind - to think about what career they hope to obtain, and then identify what the best path to get there is. For many of those careers, it's going to mean some form of postsecondary education - for example, by 2020 82 percent of health care careers are only going to be available to individuals who have obtained some form of postsecondary education, and a healthy portion of those are best suited to those with associate degrees or postsecondary certificates.
How does the state of California view CTE?
California is doing some really interesting things related to CTE -- many institutions are implementing the Linked Learning model, which contextualizes academic and technical curricula with a real-world profession to engage students. According to the U.S. Department of Education's data from 2012-13 (the most recent numbers available), there are 1,911,694 CTE students in California, and we're excited to see how those students are preparing themselves for their future.
Sean Lynch is the Legislative and Public Affairs Manager for the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE). He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and German from St. John's University.
Financial Aid in California
If you are seeking out financial aid in California, your first step should be to apply for FAFSA -- The Free Application for Federal Student Aid. They typically recommend applying for this at the beginning of January, or as soon as possible after the new year. Additionally, there are many, many grants, loans, awards and scholarships available for students who need financial aid. Here are some popular California financial aid programs:
- Cal Grant Programs - There are a number of Cal Grants that have different eligibility requirements. Students must have good grades in order to apply for these grants.
- California Chafee Grant Program - This is a specific grant for foster kids who are eligible. This provides aid for college or technical training for California residents who've been in the foster care system.
- Assumption Program of Loans for Education (APLE) - This competitive program is specifically for those who want to become teachers. The program encourages good students, interns, and currently credentialed teachers to fill specified K-12 teaching positions in designated California public schools.
There are many more specialized scholarships for students interested in specific vocational fields such as nursing, law enforcement, child care, and more.

I truely LOVE this story. Anxiously awaiting the continuation. Now I went and messed myself up by reading as soon as you have posted this time, OH well, I will keep watch "Constant Vigilance". Thanks for a story that allows the reader to be engrossed to the point where when the end comes it is a complete surprise that there is no more to read.
Author's Response:
Thanks! WOW I just read the notification email that it was approved! Yipes you are fast LOL! I'll keep posting if you'll keep reading!
by far the best fanfic i've read. great ingenuity, could work on spelling. waiting patiently for another great chapter...
Author's Response:
Not to doubt you but a LOT of really anal people have gone over that chapter with a fine tooth comb, I think what you are seeing as misspellings are british spellings...trust me I have had enough rows about this...UK spellings are different sometimes by one letter and that causes it to look misspelled. This website is pretty particular about that...well depending on the beta, I have had one beta turn me down for not having british spellings then have yet another turn me down again for having misspellings after I changed them to British! The secret to navigating this sites byzantine labyrinth of betas is to assign yourself one or two that you trust. Leave a note in your chapter notes specifying who you want to beta...sometimes if that beta goes bye bye for a while that backfires but for the most part it helps. Thanks for your concern though! Keep reading I have one in the queu right now!
i love it and scorpius ROX
Author's Response:
ooooookay! Glad you like.
I love this story! It just gets better every chapter. Can't wait for the next one x
Author's Response:
Thanks, as soon as the queue opens back up it's ready to go!
I love this story so much! I was at first disapointed by the sorting but now im pleasently surprised =] Keep writing!
Author's Response:
Chapter 9 is ready just waiting on the queue to reopen! Keep reading!
Good story so far. Write more.
Author's Response:
Will do!
what?! no next chapter?! noooooooo!
Author's Response:
For someone who thought me sorting the trio into Hufflepuff was a boneheaded move, you seem to be pretty invested in their further adventures LOL! hmmmmmmmm.
i think they woulve fit better in Gryffindor. or maybe ravenclaw if you want to be risky. but i dont think hufflepuff fits....no offense of course, i absolutely love this story so far. :D great job
oh my goodness, i am SO GLAD that i found this fic, seeing as how i don't usually roam in the post-hogwarts section. i simply LOVE what you are doing with these characters and this story. I just stayed up through the night to read what is here thus far, and i LOVE IT!!!! it really is amazing. definitally the best next-generation fic i have ever read by far. incredibly, to be honest. Your writing flows very honestly, it is so wonderfully written, both description and dialogue, yet it's also has that same rhythm that the original books held, to be honest. amazing. I really love what you are doing with each and every one of these characters. I like that they are very realistically their own persons. So often the children are generically written as pure characture combinations of the parents, yet you definitally have not done that, each one has their own identity, completely independent and realistic. I love the dynamics you have set up for these characters, their interactions, everything. I love the trio, completely. I also love how you have written Teddy--he completely rocks. Your original characters, Gas and Cormac, I am really fond of as well. I like the Leprechaun allusions going on with Cormac, that very creative and i can't wait to see if more comes of that. You also have a knack for humor in this fic, which I am getting a kick out of. There were a couple of times I laughed out loud and my roommate looked over at me very confused. lol. The way you are tying in Harry's past with Albus' present is woven very well too, in a very real feeling way. I liked that allusion to moody's eye, too, when they entered the Office. (if I'm correct in thinking that's what it was.) And, also, I am SO glad about that little Snape's portrait bit. lovely, and I was happy to see him included :) overall, i love the story so much, and I cannot wait to see where you are going to take it next. It looks like it promises to be a truly great one! I can't wait! so, now that i have written a novel of my own as a review, I suppose that's all to say for now. thanks for putting up with my raving, and i can't wait to read more! fantastic job
Author's Response:
Thankyou for the review. I Love lengthy reviews, they mean I hit a nerve one way or another LOL! I try to acheive a seamless blending of styles with JK's so the fact you noticed the effort makes me smile. I wanted to actually create a story, not move around characters that belong to someone else. I tried to create a universe for them to move in that was as facinating as the one JK left us. I hope I continue to bring enjoyment to your life
Ha! Good to see Snape at a loss for words.
Good chapter in an excellent story. Keep up!
Author's Response:
Glad you like it! I've always thought that Harry naming a son for him would blow his mind LOL!
Outstanding!!! Found your fic today and will be eagerly watching for updates. Thanks for sharing your work!
Author's Response:
Glad you like it! I am working on an update!
aha i love it
dromeda is class.
great add
Author's Response:
I thought it was time for Scorpius to meet the family LOL!
i love this write more plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Author's Response:
I am working on Chapter 8, can't get it out of the queue at the moment. I have two primary Mods, one is on vacation the other one just looked at it recently and rejected it, so I have to finish the edits put it back into the queue, wait for a mod...then hope it passes.Oh well!
Stay with me!
that last part bout scorpius gettin marreied to da broom was funny
dis is gettin interesting way to spice things up
this is really good
Author's Response:
I just discovered this story again! I made sure to add it to my favorites so I can get the updates. I really like this story! It is truly unique. So many Albus/Rose/Scorpious stories have them either in Griffindor or Slytherin. It's great to see them all in Hufflepuff. And how ingenious to have Filch and Mrs. Norris as ghosts! Great job! Can't wait to read the next chapter. I want to learn more about that wand.
Author's Response:
I've always been amazed that Filch and McGonnagall show up so often in fanfics about the next gen! How old are they? SHEESH! Glad you found me again...wish a lot of those reviewers from the first chapter would come back LOL! I dropped off quite a bit! Keep reading!
moreeee morreee
what talent does he have and how did he get it i wonder
Author's Response:
More on the way....and Nyahh naaaahh not gonna tell ya! Yet.
I love your portrayal of all the characters, especially Rose,and I like that Albus isn't good at Quidditch.
Author's Response:
Glad you like my little Rose! Albus can't be good at QUidditch until he learns to fly LOL!
I loved it!!!
U are teriffic once again!!
