Hear what our customers are saying about us from KLAS and our internal customer satisfaction measurement system.
"The experience, professionalism and overall good natured GE team assigned to the project was the largest contributor to our satisfaction."1
"GE has a support system called Final Support. We can log calls with Final Support and get qualified technicians to reply to us quickly. I recently called with a question about a fix, and they called me right back, walked me through the fix, and then followed up with me to make sure it worked."2
"GE has excellent online support. Their help desk gets us to someone in seconds. GE is really great over the phone, and they can identify and give us solutions to issues that we are having very quickly. It is great to know that help is just a phone call away."3
"As soon as we call GE support for Centricity Perinatal, we are speaking with a live person. We don't get put on hold, and GE stays on the phone with us until the issue is resolved. When they have to call us back, they are very good at following up. We have the option of speaking to someone from clinical support or technical support, so if we have a clinical question, we don't get stuck talking to a technical person who doesn't know anything about the clinical side. GE splits up the support that way. I really like that because I can call and use obstetrical terms with the clinical people and they understand what I am talking about. The GE support team has very strong technical and clinical knowledge and has always been very helpful."4
"Like always, reaching a support person was fast and easy, service was friendly and helpful, the solution was clearly explained, and I received a follow-up email. Business with GE Healthcare IT and Clinical support is always a pleasure."5
"One of the strengths of GE is their engagement in working with us. We are seen as a valued customer. That has always been good. We have another step release coming up, and things have been going well. Each time, the installs are better at improving the overall quality and reliability. There are a lot of good things from that."6
"Team was professional, interacted well with nursing and IT alike and was able to get our new system installed and functional ahead of schedule."7
"The team from GE was very nice to work with. They ensured that all of our needs were met. All of them were very knowledgeable about the process."8
"Whenever we had a problem, a question, or a suggestion, they were all listened to by the implementation team and necessary changes were made, or not, if they were not needed. I really appreciate the work that [our project manager], and the others did. It made the move and the implementation much less painful than it would have been otherwise."9
"I would start by saying it was the leadership of the GE Project Manager and her ability to guide the project. I can also say the ability of the GE Project team as a whole. They made themselves available to answer questions or supply extra training for our Nurses. This was above and beyond what I have experienced from other vendors. As the Project Manager from the Hospital side I felt we worked great together, her ability to make our organization feel like we were her only customer was above and beyond."10
"Instructor taught the information that was needed for a new system manager. She also was able to explain different features for the various Centricity versions. With the smaller class size it also allowed her to spend more or less time on topics as we needed. The class activities were a great part of the class, reinforcing the discussed materials. I left feeling the information covered was going to be very helpful in my new role of system manager."11
"The GE team pulled together a comprehensive training class on very short notice. It was not at typical training. We asked for a fairly comprehensive training in a short time frame. She did a terrific job at driving through the course material and going into detail as needed."12
"We have read most ICD10 NFG, NFTG's from cover to cover and had begun working our way through testing, before we had this class. We thought that GE's class was one of the best actions we have taken. Her knowledge, course content, timing and delivery are the best. We felt good about what we had remediated prior to the class and know that we will be much better because of it."13
"She is an excellent trainer. I learned a great deal. She even sent emails after the class to follow up to see if we had any questions and set us a few tips. I really enjoyed both classes." 14
"The upgrade process was smooth and fairly painless. The support was phenomenal. The GE IT and support personnel were fantastic. Even still, GE is very quick to respond to problems." 15
"All of the GE staff here were knowledgeable, helpful and went out of their way to be sure that we got what we needed and that we understood how everything worked. I could not have asked for an easier upgrade experience. All went according to plan. Prior to the upgrade there were some anxious moments, but those were resolved and everything else went off without a hitch." 16
"GE staff were on top of everything, timelines meetings, etc. Everything was prepped and ready to go on the day of go-live, so there were no delays in getting it up and running. They were also very good about starting it early in the morning so that it was ready for testing mid-morning. Very good support."17
"Excellent communication with project manager and implementation engineers. Project milestones were followed up on and met, and implementation requirements were laid out and completed in a timely manner. Enjoyed working with each member of the GE Project Team."18

A Prayer for the Victims of Hurricane Sandy
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, One God. Amen.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Who went about doing good and healing all our infirmities, I ask you to bless all the people who have suffered the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy.
Strengthen those who are injured, gather those who are lost and give courage to all to rebuild their lives once again.
O Lord, You suffered and died for me and you understand suffering.
Give them the strength in body, courage in spirit and patience in pain.
Calm their fears and increase their trust in You and hasten to their aid.
I also pray for the safe keeping of our nation from famine, earthquakes, floods, fire and civil war.
I entreat You, O Lord our God, to hear my prayer.
Bless me to help those in need and give me courage to be Your face to all those suffering.
Through the prayers of the Holy Father Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and save us.
Supplication to the Mother of God
(taken from the Small Paraklesis)
For those in great sorrow you are joy, and for the oppressed, a protection, and for the hungry, their food, comfort unto those estranged; You are a staff to the blind, visitation of all those sick, and to those held by pain shelter and a comforting, and to the orphaned, an aid; Mother, of our God in the highest, You who are the Spotless One, hasten, save your servants from their sin, we ask of you.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday insisted that President Barack Obama's health care reform law should be overturned and that people with preexisting conditions should be denied coverage if they had never had insurance before.
During an appearance on NBC's Tonight Show, host Jay Leno told Romney that he knew people that had never been able to get insurance before "Obamacare" was passed.
"It seems to me like children and people with preexisting conditions should be covered," Leno noted.
"People with preexisting conditions — as long as they've been insured before, they're going to continue to have insurance," Romney explained.
"Suppose they were never insured?" Leno asked.
"Well, if they're 45 years old, and they show up, and they say, I want insurance, because I've got a heart disease, it's like, `Hey guys, we can't play the game like that. You've got to get insurance when you're well, and if you get ill, then you're going to be covered,'" Romney replied.
"I know guys that work in the auto industry and they're just not covered because they work in brake dust," Leno pressed. "And then they get to be 30, 35, and were never able to get insurance before. Now they have it. That seems like a good thing."
"But people who have had the chance to be insured — if you're working in an auto business for instance, the companies carry insurance, they insure all their employees — you look at the circumstances that exist," the candidate explained. "But you don't want everyone saying, `I'm going to sit back until I get sick and then go buy insurance.' That doesn't make sense. But you have to find rules that get people in that are playing by the rules."
The Washington Post's Greg Sargent pointed out that by passing health insurance mandates in Massachusetts, Romney had acknowledged that people should get coverage when they are well, but he had since moved further to the right in an effort to win the GOP presidential primary.
"So he's forced to give a nonsensical answer to the core policy and moral question that's left behind if we do away with Obamacare: What should the federal government do about those who can't get insurance covarge, thanks to preexisting conditions?" Sargent wrote.
"Until Romney details otherwise, his answer, for all practical purposes, is: Nothing."

GENEVA, May 25 (Reuters) - The world's health ministers have agreed to try to cut premature deaths from chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and cancer by 25 percent by 2025, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday.
Heart disease, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory illnesses are the biggest killer globally, according to the United Nations agency. They account for 36 million deaths a year, or 63 percent of all mortality, and one-quarter of premature deaths under the age of 60.
"I think that we're moving past the phase where noncommunicable diseases remain a largely hidden, misunderstood and unrecorded epidemic," Douglas Bettcher, acting director of WHO's chronic disease and health promotion department, told a news briefing.
The draft decision, adopted by consensus in committee on Thursday night, was put forward by countries including Brazil, Russia and the United States. It is expected to be adopted in a formal plenary on Saturday, the last day of its annual ministerial meeting, WHO officials said.
A high-level meeting of the U.N. General Assembly called last September for the WHO to set voluntary targets to prevent and control such deadly ailments which are taking a high toll on developing countries.
"Conventional wisdom is 'Oh, well this a mainly a high-income country issue'. It is not. NCDs is the biggest killer in all regions in WHO except AFRO, the African region," Bettcher said.
Deaths from noncommunicable diseases are rising in Africa where they are projected to be the biggest killer by 2030.
In the WHO text, its 194 member states voice "strong support for additional work aimed at reaching consensus on targets relating to the four main risk factors, namely tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity".
Voluntary targets should be considered related to high blood pressure, tobacco, salt/sodium and physical activity, it says.
However, it does not set specific targets for tackling these risk factors, although earlier WHO drafts suggested cutting both tobacco and salt intake by 30 percent by 2025.
It merely "indicates support" for developing targets relating to obesity, fat intake, alcohol, cholesterol and the availability of essential medicines through health systems.
But Bettcher said things were on track. "The message to take home is that it's a work in progress and work has progressed. And we are on target, progress has NOT stalled, capital N-O-T."
The decision calls for a meeting to be held by the end of October to complete a comprehensive framework for monitoring chronic diseases, including a set of voluntary targets.
"My feeling is yes, we will see specific targets come October," said Dr. Tim Armstrong, WHO coordinator of chronic disease and health promotion.
Over the past decade, the WHO has declared war on so-called lifestyle diseases.
In 2005, it clinched the 2005 Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), the world's first public health pact, aimed at reducing tobacco use and exposure to harmful smoke by regulating tobacco products, advertising and sponsorship.
Two years ago, the WHO launched a strategy for tackling the harmful use of alcohol, blamed for causing four percent of deaths worldwide. Ministers agreed to try to curb binge drinking and other growing forms of excessive alcohol use through higher taxes on alcoholic drinks and tighter marketing restrictions.

Great-Grandpa's in the Litter Box is my favorite book because it's funny. One of my favorite parts was when they were in Chicago and Zack brought home a cat who talks. The cat promised Zack that he would talk to his dad, and when he did…Zack's dad freaked out, which looked very funny! In my mind, I pictured Zack's dad's mouth open and his eyes frozen. I can connect this to my life. When I got a new jacket and I was coming home in my new jacket it was raining. My new jacket was soaking wet. I went inside my apartment and inside my bedroom. I forgot to take off my jacket and when I realized it, I looked behind me. I panicked! I saw a puddle of water! When my dad saw the puddle he made the same look as Zack's dad did when he saw the cat talk.
Do you have someone who acts weird in your family? Then you should read Great-Grandpa's in the Litter Box because it is terrifying to Zack but freaky to us. All of the Zack file books are crazy. I learned a lesson here. Never trust a cat who talks!

Manager Taylor to stay on with Gillingham
League One side Gillingham have confirmed Peter Taylor will serve as the club's permanent manager until the end of the season.
Taylor was appointed interim boss at the League One outfit in October following the sacking of Martin Allen.
The 60-year-old has overseen victories in two out of four league games, although Gillingham did require an injury-time equaliser on Saturday to avoid FA Cup embarrassment at the hands of non-League Brackley Town.
Chairman Peter Scally held a meeting with the first-team squad on Monday to confirm Taylor will continue at the helm.
"The players and I are delighted that Peter has agreed to stay on at the club and we wish him every success in his ongoing efforts to push the team up the table," Scally told the club's official website.
Taylor had a one-match stint as caretaker manager of England in 2000 and two separate spells in charge of his country's Under-21 side.
A vastly experienced boss, his numerous former employers also include Bahrain, Leicester City and Crystal Palace.
Gillingham sit 18th in League One, two points clear of the relegation zone.

Alignment in Communication
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Alignment in Communication is a novel direction in communication research, which focuses on interactive adaptation processes assumed to be more or less automatic in humans. It offers an alternative to established theories of human communication and also has important implications for human-machine interaction. A collection of articles by international researchers in linguistics, psychology, artificial intelligence, and social robotics, this book provides evidence on why such alignment occurs and the role it plays in communication. Complemented by a discussion of methodologies and explanatory frameworks from dialogue theory, it presents cornerstones of an emerging new theory of communication. The ultimate purpose is to extend our knowledge about human communication, as well as creating a foundation for natural multimodal dialogue in human-machine interaction. Its cross-disciplinary nature makes the book a useful reference for cognitive scientists, linguists, psychologists, and language philosophers, as well as engineers developing conversational agents and social robots.

Analysing Citizenship Talk
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Citizenship talk refers to various types of discourse initiated to make citizens take part in politically and socially contested decision-making processes ('citizen participation'). 'Citizenship' has, accordingly, become one of the dazzling key words whenever the democratic deficit of modern societies is moaned about. Asking for citizenship to be conceived of as a communicative achievement, the present book shows that sociolinguistics and pragmatics can essentially contribute to this interdisciplinary up-to-date issue of research: the volume offers a theoretically innovative concept of communicated citizenship and it presents a set of methodological approaches suited to deal with this concept at an empirical level (including contributions from Conversation Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, Social Positioning Theory, Speech Act Theory and Ethnography). Furthermore, concrete data and empirical analyses are provided which take up the case of decision-making processes around the application of modern 'green' biotechnology ('GMO field trials'). The volume thus illustrates the kind of findings and results that can be expected from this new and promising approach towards citizenship talk.
Cognition and Technology
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This new collection of contributions to the field of Cognitive Technology (CT) provides the (to date) widest spectrum of the state of the art in the discipline — a disciple dedicated to humane factors in tool design. The reader will find here a summary of past research as well as an overview of new areas for future investigations. The collection contains an extensive CT agenda identifying many as yet unsolved, CT-related, design issues. An exciting new development is the concept of 'natural technology'. Some examples of natural technologies are discussed and the merits of empirical investigations (into what they are and how they develop), of interest to cognitive scientists and designers of new (corrective, digital) technologies, are pointed out. Another distinctive feature of the collection is that it provides examples of scientists' tools; important, too, is its emphasis on ethics in tool design. The collection ends with a provocative coda (any responses can appear in the new, annual, CT forum of the Pragmatics and Cognition journal). The collection will appeal to all scientists, humanists and professionals interested in the interface between human cognitive processes and the technologies that augment them.
Creating Social Orientation Through Language
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This monograph develops a new socio-cognitive theory of sense-making for analyzing the creative management of situated social meaning. Drawing on cognitive-linguistic and social-interactional heuristics in an innovative way, the book both theorizes and demonstrates how embodied cognizers create complex situated conceptualizations of self and other, which guide and support their interactions. It shows how these sense-making processes are managed through the coordinated social interaction of two (or more) communicative partners.
To illustrate the theory, the book draws on two distinct data sets: front-desk tourist-information transactions and online-workgroup discussions. It scrutinizes how the communicative partners use verbal humour as a powerful strategy to creatively establish a situated social image for themselves.
This book addresses specialists and advanced students in the areas of cognitive linguistics as well as interactional approaches to language. Moreover, it will be of great value to readers interested in verbal humour, business communication, and computer-mediated communication.
Explorations in the Sociology of Language and Religion
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The Sociology of Language and Religion (SLR) is still in its infancy as a sub-discipline in the macrosociolinguistic tradition. It is therefore no coincidence that the editorial collaboration to produce its first definitive text Explorations in the Sociology of Language and Religion has involved Joshua A. Fishman, often cited in the literature as one of the founders of the Sociology of Language. Tope Omoniyi brings to the collaboration an insightful and incisive critical eye for engaging with diversity in the treatment of language and religion. Together as editors they have successfully midwived the birth of SLR. The studies and debates contained in this volume revisit those themes that both of the contributory disciplines of Sociology of Language and Religion have common interest in. The contributing authors explore new methodologies and paradigms of analysis that they deem appropriate for this interesting and complex interface in an attempt to demonstrate how the shared interests of these disciplines impact social practices in various communities around the world. The ultimate objective of the discussions is to fashion tools for creating a body of new knowledge that supports the emergence of a better society. Towards this end, the authors have harnessed resources from varied geographical, cultural, linguistic and religious constituencies without compromising analytical depth. In the process, they have opened up new areas of sociolinguistic inquiry. The volume is thus presented as a highly useful reference resource both for undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship.
Growing up on the Trobriand Islands in Papua New Guinea
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This volume deals with the children's socialization on the Trobriands. After a survey of ethnographic studies on childhood, the book zooms in on indigenous ideas of conception and birth-giving, the children's early development, their integration into playgroups, their games and their education within their `own little community' until they reach the age of seven years. During this time children enjoy much autonomy and independence. Attempts of parental education are confined to a minimum. However, parents use subtle means to raise their children. Educational ideologies are manifest in narratives and in speeches addressed to children. They provide guidelines for their integration into the Trobrianders' "balanced society" which is characterized by cooperation and competition. It does not allow individual accumulation of wealth – surplus property gained has to be redistributed – but it values the fame acquired by individuals in competitive rituals. Fame is not regarded as threatening the balance of their society.
Historical Sociopragmatics
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Originally published as a special issue of Journal of Historical Pragmatics 10:2 (2009), this is the first book to map out historical sociopragmatics, a multidisciplinary field located within historical pragmatics, but overlapping with socially-oriented fields, such as sociolinguistics and critical discourse analysis. Historical sociopragmatics has a central focus on historical language use in its situational contexts, and how those situational contexts engender norms which speakers engage or exploit for pragmatic purposes. The chapters represent a range of ways in which historical sociopragmatics can be understood and investigated. The reader will find English texts from the 15th century through to the 18th, a variety of genres (including personal correspondence, trial proceedings and plays), and both qualitative and (corpus-based) quantitative analyses. Importantly, attention is given to how contexts can be (re)constructed from written records, a sine qua non of the field. It will appeal to advanced-level students and scholars with interests in pragmatics, especially socially-oriented pragmatics, and/or historical linguistics, especially the history of English.
Homo Symbolicus
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The emergence of symbolic culture, classically identified with the European cave paintings of the Ice Age, is now seen, in the light of recent groundbreaking discoveries, as a complex nonlinear process taking root in a remote past and in different regions of the planet. In this book the archaeologists responsible for some of these new discoveries, flanked by ethologists interested in primate cognition and cultural transmission, evolutionary psychologists modelling the emergence of metarepresentations, as well as biologists, philosophers, neuro-scientists and an astronomer combine their research findings. Their results call into question our very conception of human nature and animal behaviour, and they create epistemological bridges between disciplines that build the foundations for a novel vision of our lineage's cultural trajectory and the processes that have led to the emergence of human societies as we know them.
In Hot Pursuit of Language in Prehistory
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Compiled in honor and celebration of veteran anthropologist Harold C. Fleming, this book contains 23 articles by anthropologists (in the general sense) from the four main disciplines of prehistory: archaeology, biogenetics, paleoanthropology, and genetic (historical) linguistics. Because of Professor Fleming's major focus on language — he founded the Association for the Study of Language in Prehistory and the journal Mother Tongue — the content of the book is heavily tilted toward the study of human language, its origins, historical development, and taxonomy. Because of Fleming's extensive field experience in Africa some of the articles deal with African topics.
This volume is intended to exemplify the principle, in the words of Fleming himself, that each of the four disciplines is enriched when it combines with any one of the other four. The authors are representative of the cutting edge of their respective fields, and this book is unusual in including contributions from a wide range of anthropological fields rather than concentrating in any one of them.
Literary Translation in Modern Iran
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Literary Translation in Modern Iran: A sociological study is the first comprehensive study of literary translation in modern Iran, covering the period from the late 19th century up to the present day. By drawing on Pierre BourdieuN's sociology of culture, this work investigates the people behind the selection, translation, and production of novels from English into Persian. The choice of novels such as Morier's The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Vargas Llosa's The War of the End of the World provides insights into who decides upon titles for translation, motivations of translators and publishers, and the context in which such decisions are made.The author suggests that literary translation in Iran is not a straightforward activity. As part of the field of cultural production, literary translation has remained a lively game not only to examine and observe, but also often a challenging one to play. By adopting hide-and-seek strategies and with attention to the dynamic of the field of publishing, Iranian translators and publishers have continued to play the game against all odds.
The book is not only a contribution to the growing scholarship informed by sociological approaches to translation, but an essential reading for scholars and students of Translation Studies, Iranian Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies.
Moral Cognition and Communication
- + Show Description - Hide Description
The journal Moral Cognition and Communication (MCaC) provides a forum for research that explores various aspects of moral cognition and communication. This includes the role of moral beliefs for social, economic and political decision-making processes and behavior, as well as the ways in which moral cognition shapes and is shaped by symbolic interactions. Such symbolic interactions include, for instance, language, sign language, and gesture, art and architecture, theatre, dance and music, still and moving images, graphic design and typography, the built and landscaped environment, and other visual cultural interactions, such as, fashion and profession.
Moral Cognition and Communication is a journal dedicated to bring together scholars from various fields of research whose work targets moral cognition, communication, and behavior. It specifically does not limit itself to one set of (sub-)disciplines, theories, or methods, but aims to reach across schools of thought to generate a cross-disciplinary discussion and, ultimately, foster cross-disciplinary thinking and research on a topic that is as multifaceted and complex as human moral cognition.
The journal welcomes papers from a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of moral cognition and communication, seeking to bring together and foster a dialogue between disciplines, such as, linguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and moral philosophy, or theology, literature and media. The journal accepts empirical research, theory articles and short responses, as well as reviews and meta-analyses.
Multiple Case Narrative
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book introduces a methodology for the construction of a comprehensive narrative description and narrative-based theory from the study of multiple populations. The book has two parallel foci. On the one hand, it is a conceptual treatise, focusing on the principles of the Multiple Case Narrative. On the other hand, it also has a practical "how-to" focus with a step-by-step guide to conducting a Multiple Case Narrative. The book is accessible and comprehensive and addresses both those in the field as well as those with little background in the methodologies of narrative study and qualitative research.This book is also relevant to those who are interested in other qualitative varieties like single and collective narrative inquiry, single and collective case study, as well as ethnography, because each of the procedures and techniques described here can be easily utilized for conducting other types of qualitative research.
New Frontiers in Human–Robot Interaction
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) considers how people can interact with robots in order to enable robots to best interact with people. HRI presents many challenges with solutions requiring a unique combination of skills from many fields, including computer science, artificial intelligence, social sciences, ethology and engineering. We have specifically aimed this work to appeal to such a multi-disciplinary audience. This volume presents new and exciting material from HRI researchers who discuss research at the frontiers of HRI. The chapters address the human aspects of interaction, such as how a robot may understand, provide feedback and act as a social being in interaction with a human, to experimental studies and field implementations of human–robot collaboration ranging from joint action, robots practically and safely helping people in real world situations, robots helping people via rehabilitation and robots acquiring concepts from communication. This volume reflects current trends in this exciting research field.
Oral History
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Oral History: The Challenges of Dialogue shows contemporary oral history at work in a variety of contexts, levels, and engagements. The issues developed in the book correspond to different stages of research: preparing and conducting the interview, evaluating and analyzing the collected material, publishing in the broad sense of speaking to different audiences, and finally, addressing the dilemmas and philosophical reflections with an emphasis on ethics. This book aims to address oral history from two perspectives. The first is the perspective of oral history as dialoguing, the second is the presentation of concrete situations, research, persons, and their own stories as built on the solid ground of discourse and within a concrete context. The chapters embody the experiences of the authors, their efforts and successes, as well as their failures in dialoguing with narrators. Unveiled in this book is the extensive breadth of contemporary oral history work, bridging epistemological and methodological horizons.
Sociocultural Aspects of Translating and Interpreting
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Translation Studies has recently been searching for connections with Cultural Studies and Sociology. This volume brings together a range of ways in which the disciplines can be related, particularly with respect to research methodologies. The key aspects covered are the agents behind translation, the social histories revealed by translations, the perceived roles and values of translators in social contexts, the hidden power relations structuring publication contexts, and the need to review basic concepts of the way social and cultural systems work. Special importance is placed on Community Interpreting as a field of social complexity, the lessons of which can be applied in many other areas. The volume studies translators and interpreters working in a wide range of contexts, ranging from censorship in East Germany to English translations in Gujarat. Major contributions are made by Agnès Whitfield, Daniel Gagnon, Franz Pöchhacker, Michaela Wolf, Pekka Kujamäki and Rita Kothari, with an extensive introduction on methodology by Anthony Pym.
Sociology of Discourse
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Sociology of Discourse takes the perspective that collective actors like social movements are capable of creating social change from below by creating new institutions through alternative discourses. Institutionalization becomes a process of moving away from existing institutions towards creating new ones. While discourses entail openness and enable the questioning of what is instituted, institutions offer continuity and stability to social mobilizations. This dual movement of openness and stabilization explains how social struggles ensure their continuity, without completely assuming the logic of the dominant order. The book proposes an analytical model of social change, which is unfolded through three intertwined areas: discourse, communication, and institution. Collective experiences of social change, from the anti-globalization movement to Occupy, illustrate the main theoretical points and concepts. Through the example of the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages, the book concludes by analyzing how social change from below is possible.
The Evaluation of Language Regimes
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Building on existing analytical frameworks, this book provides a new methodology allowing different language policies in international multilingual organisations (or "language regimes") to be compared and evaluated on the basis of criteria such as efficiency and fairness. It explains step-by-step how to organise the evaluation of language regimes and how to design and interpret indicators for such evaluation. The second part of this book applies the theoretical framework to the evaluation of the language policy of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) division of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the European Patent Office (EPO). Results show that an increase in linguistic diversity of the language regimes of patent organisations can both improve the efficiency of the patent system and lead to a more balanced distribution of costs among countries. This book is a resource for scholars in language policy and planning and for policy-makers in the international and European patent system.
The Promise of Dialogue
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- It has become commonplace to employ dialogue-based approaches in producing and communicating knowledge in diverse fields. Here, "dialogue" has become a buzzword that promises democratic, participatory processes of mutual learning and knowledge co-production. But what does "dialogue" actually entail in the fields in which it is practised and how can we analyse those practices in ways that take account of their complexities?
The Promise of Dialogue presents a novel theoretical framework for analysing the dialogic turn in the production and communication of knowledge that builds bridges across three research traditions - dialogic communication theory, action research, and science and technology studies.
It also provides an empirically rich account of the dialogic turn through case studies of how dialogue is enacted in the fields of planned communication, public engagement with science and collaborative research. A critical, reflexive approach is taken that interrogates the complexities, tensions and dilemmas inherent in the enactment of "dialogue" and is oriented towards further developing dialogic practices from a position normatively supportive of the dialogic turn.
Translation, Cognition & Behavior
- + Show Description - Hide Description
Translation, Cognition & Behavior (TCB) focuses on a broad area of research generally known as cognitive translation studies – a term that encompasses new conceptual paradigms being explored in cognitive translatology as well as traditional translation process research. Cognitive translation studies intersects with a number of disciplines, and the journal welcomes interdisciplinary research from philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, bilingualism studies, anthropology, artificial intelligence, ergonomics, and, indeed any discipline that can illuminate our understanding of the mental processes that underlie the complex observable behavior of cross-language communication.
The overall objective of the journal is to connect rigorous descriptions of the observable activities of translators and interpreters – as the result of ethnographic, experimental or corpus research – to conceptions of the translating mind and brain. Translation, Cognition & Behavior will thus publish empirical and theoretical contributions focusing on the cognitive and behavioral aspects of a broad range of cross-language activities including all kinds of translation and interpreting tasks and subtasks, but also other unique forms of communicative mediation, professional or otherwise.
Topics of specific interest include, but are not limited to (a) the extension of general cognitive research paradigms (e.g., computationalism, connectionism, embodied, embedded, extended, enacted, affective, distributed cognition) into cognitive translation studies; (b) the development and learning of translation skills (e.g., expertise, cognitive aspects of translation teaching and learning, translation competence); (c) cognitive research methods (eye tracking, keystroke logging, neuroimaging, and so on); and (d) explorations of how the environment influences people's behavior and cognitive processing when performing communicative tasks (ergonomics, human–computer interaction, usability studies).

Bassist Chris Frain says a Tanuki is a type of "raccoon-dog" found in Japan and in parts of Northeast Asia. Frain's band Tanuki is an instrumental, psuedo-improv power trio with no interest in writing pop songs. "If we tried to write instrumental pop we'd probably be horrible at it," Frain explains. What they are good at, however, is making music that's a little odd, somewhat mischievous and, at times, pretty darn hilarious.
"When we're working on something that we're injecting with a sense of humor, it just becomes a complete riot," Frain chuckles. "I think we definitely know when to pull back from something like that, but we can also have a good time with it." Tanuki's wittiness is generated primarily by placing some very strange scales in chaotic rhythms while the songs' basic structure never seems to bat an eyelid.
Imagine Primus without the obsession with unfunny lyrics and the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex with better guitar and bass, and that should give you an idea of where Tanuki is coming from. They don't hate pop music, but they don't really listen to it either. "We constantly find ourselves listening to music that's completely outside of rock," Frain says. "Some of us listen to jazz or classical, and we've all been listening to a lot of electronica and music from other parts of the word as well. Getting away from pop was never really a stretch for us. It just sort of came naturally."
Somewhat echoing that point, when I asked Frain whether his playing was influenced by Primus' bass-god Les Claypool he explained, "I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't, but we're not consciously trying to copy it. For that matter, if there was ever a Primus bandwagon, I think we missed it about 10 years ago."
Tanuki's debut release, Warm Up the Deathray, Agnes, is a nine-song, relatively short LP that, as guitarist Ray Himes explains, "best captures our essence. "Pitchforks and Torches'" high-trebled guitar gives it a goofy, rockabilly appeal and "Monster Peninsula," as Frain points out, is a surf-rock song with a really aggressive edge.
You can check out Tanuki at the Launchpad on Friday, Oct. 14 for their CD release party. They'll play most of their songs from the new album as well as others that, because of time and financial constraints, were not included on the release.

Somalia's new president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a longtime academic and political activist, boasted during a June interview with McClatchy that he'd lived in Mogadishu – sometimes referred to as the world's most dangerous city – for 22 years without a security detail. Now that he's the president, that will have to change.
At least eight people were killed and six wounded Wednesday when at least two explosions rocked a hotel where Mohamud, in office less than 48 hours, was meeting with other African diplomats.
Neither Mohamud nor any of the visiting foreign officials was harmed in the attack, but the attempt put a quick and bloody end to the president's short honeymoon – he'd been sworn in only Monday evening after defeating incumbent President Sheik Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in a parliamentary vote – and served as a reminder of how difficult it will be for the previously untested new ruler to confront the problems of the world's most troubled nation.
A spokesman for al Qaida's Somali affiliate, al Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack in an interview with the French news agency Agence France-Presse. "We are responsible for the attack against the so-called president and the delegation," Ali Mohamud Rage said. Al Shabab doesn't recognize Mohamud's government, saying it's illegitimate and foreign-backed.
Speaking briefly to reporters after the incident, Mohamud vowed that his government would improve security. "You see what is happening in front of this hotel," he said.
Mohamud was meeting with Kenyan Foreign Minister Sam Ongeri and other officials from the African Union when suicide bombers attacked the Jazeera hotel, where Mohamud is living until arrangements are complete for him to move into the presidential palace. The Jazeera hotel is near the Mogadishu airport, which is the base for the African Union military force, known as AMISOM, that protects the fragile government.
A United Nations statement said three suicide bombers in Somali military uniform had attempted to enter the hotel but that security forces killed them before they got inside. The statement said "a number" of Somali security personnel were wounded in the attack and one AMISOM soldier was killed.
According to eyewitnesses, a man wearing a government military uniform tried to enter the hotel and then blew himself up outside. Gunfire broke out between the attackers and government and African Union troops before a car bomb exploded.
"One of the bombs was a suicide blast, which targeted the gate of the hotel, while the other one was a car suicide bomb that caused several casualties. Troops then opened fire and killed a suspect next to the hotel," said one witness, Dahir Ilmi, who said he saw the bodies of two Somali soldiers and an African Union soldier.
The U.N.'s top official in Somalia, Augustine Mahiga, condemned the attack. "Somalia has achieved tremendous progress over the last few months," he said. "Such attempts to push the country back into chaos and violence will not deter the Somali people's determination to move forward."

First: Gas is way too expensive but I tracked it and I got 29.7 miles per gallon. I'll consider that a win.
Second: It's not an adventure until you get lost at least once. Though with my sister's GPS were never actually got lost - we just ended up doing some things out of order.
Third: My Great-Grandparent's former house. I don't know who lives there now, but they have a little Chihuahua type dog that likes to chase cars down the road. It's a small house, but when I showed the photo to my dad he confirmed it was the correct one.
Fourth: Rock Branch Baptist Church. Apparently my Craft ancestors were considered part of the "Rock Branch Community" of Elbert County though they were a five minute walk from Hart County. I'd been to this cemetery years ago, before I realized just how many of my ancestors were buried here. This time I got all the headstone photos (I hope). Here, I'm posing with William Anderson Craft's grave.
Fifth: The Elbert County Public Library. They have a pretty darn good genealogy section (and a bathroom!). They had a book about the Craft family, but it seemed to be some random OK/AR branch that had nothing to do with me. I did find a few books on the Powell and Taylor families. One of these is a book available on Google in "snippet" view, so it was nice to be able to see the whole book. I was also hoping to use the library records to find the grave of Willis Craft (1809-1874). I think he's buried on his old land. The library did have a cemetery book with a map showing his grave, but there weren't any roads in the area on the map. Given my time constraints, I figured I'd try to find the grave another day.
Sixth: Montevideo is pronounced Mount Video.
Seventh: Craft Road. We headed back to my Great-Grandparent's house which sits on a road named after them. I got out to pose with the street sign. Apparently I took too long and the dogs across the street took offense. I had eight (8!!!) dogs heading toward me so I ran back to the car (where everyone else already was). Apparently the look on my face was priceless.
Eighth: We went to Cokesbury UMC where my Great-Great Craft Grandparents are buried. I was also hoping to find the grave of an infant G-Uncle, but no luck
Ninth: The Georgia Guidestones. This was the touristy part of our trip. These are some random stones put up by an anonymous person with some strange message about population and nature. I think they just found the price of granite in "the granite capital of the world" too hard to resist and decided to have some fun (joking). They're pretty neat.
Tenth: The email waiting for me at home. But that's another post because this one is too long already!

Thompson visits local winery
U.S. Representative Glenn Thompson (PA-5) visited The Winery at Wilcox along Mefferts Run Road in Wilcox yesterday afternoon.Winery owners Mike and Carol Williams and their son Jamie welcomed Thompson upon arrival and walked him through a 45-minute tour of the facilities.When the winery first opened its doors in the summer of 1994, it was the smallest in Pennsylvania and had an inventory of 1,100 gallons in eight varieties. Today the winery has a capacity of almost 60,000 gallons, with over 31 selections for the 2009-2010 vintage, and is one of the state's five largest wineries."The first five years we established the winery; in every December, we'd look at how much money was left over and I would build whatever I could afford and that was it," Mike Williams said. "Everything was paid for as we went and it has been pretty successful." Thompson and the Williams family discussed an array of topics, including privatization of the state's liquor stores."So I'm curious, are you in favor of privatizing or not?" Thompson asked."We are going to give you a politician's answer on that one," Jamie Williams joked. "The answer to that is we sell a lot of wine through the state store system."

According to a recent economic research report from the Portland Cement Association (PCA), Skokie, Ill., the conditions needed for a recovery in housing starts activity to begin will not be in place until mid-2010. Although resets of traditional sub-prime mortgages are expected to reach an apex in mid-2009, exotic mortgages such as Alt-A and option adjustable, will experience a dramatic increase in resets mid-2009 through mid-2010, according to the report. This second wave of toxic resets, says Edward J. Sullivan, PCA chief economist, will accelerate foreclosure rates and add to the large number of foreclosed homes in a crowded market.
"Housing construction activity cannot begin until sales recover," says Sullivan. "Increased foreclosures, coupled with deteriorating labor markets and tight credit conditions, will delay significant sales activity until mid-2010. Improvements in housing starts are not expected to be significant until 2011."
Although the housing recovery bill, along with bank efforts to rewrite toxic mortgages will mitigate the magnitude of potential defaults and foreclosures during the next 18 months, PCA expects a weak labor market and declining home prices will increase the number of foreclosed properties being added to the housing market inventory.
"Without further government cash injections into the banking system, tight lending standards could characterize the economy and mortgage lending through mid-2011 dragging down home sales," Sullivan says. "Under such a scenario, the housing recovery and overall economic recovery could be delayed significantly."

Cooking Up a Storm
A Covert Affair: Julia Child and Paul Child in the OSS
Jennet Conant, granddaughter of the former president of Harvard, has made a specialty of the World War II period. Her first book, Tuxedo Park (2002), gives an engrossing account of the brilliant amateur scientist and millionaire Alfred Lee Loomis, who was one of the inventors of radar, helped found the important Rad Lab at MIT, and attracted to his estate in Tuxedo Park distinguished scientists, including Vannevar Bush, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Enrico Fermi, and Albert Einstein. In 109 East Palace (2005), Conant insightfully describes the very human dynamics of the community Robert Oppenheimer gathered around him at Los Alamos. And in The Irregulars (2008), she recounts the clandestine activities of libidinous Roald Dahl and the ring of British spies in Washington during the early 1940s, who strove to advance England's cause.
In each of these works, Conant concentrates on a prominent person in order to evoke an entire group and its role in history. In her new book, however, Julia and Paul Child are tangential rather than central to the story she wishes to tell about the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during the war and about the postwar scourge of McCarthyism. Both of the Childs served in the OSS, and Paul was investigated by the FBI in the mid-1950s; yet despite her book's title, they are not its chief characters but have essentially ancillary though important parts. The figure at the center of A Covert Affair—a leftist socialite from San Francisco—is much less well known and far less likely to sell books.
The OSS was established by President Roosevelt in June 1942, at the urging of his friend the New York lawyer William J. Donovan, who was appointed as its chief after he persuaded FDR that the United States needed a spy organization like England's. Handsome, self-assured, and a decorated hero from World War I, Bill Donovan staffed the new agency with intellectuals, high-powered New York lawyers, attractive, socialite young women, and people with artistic or other creative talents; Ivy League graduates were favored, and Harvard professors seemed to have a special entrée. (When I arrived at Harvard as a freshman in 1950, a number of professors had recently returned from the war, and I was intrigued to learn that they almost invariably had served in the OSS.) Both Paul Child and Julia McWilliams joined the OSS very early on, Paul as a designer of maps, charts, diagrams, and war rooms, and Julia as a lowly file clerk. After a brief initial period in Washington they were each assigned to posts in Southeast Asia, where they both ended up in what was then called Ceylon.
Lord Mountbatten, Supreme Commander of the South East Asia Command, had established his headquarters in the elegant King's Pavilion high in the Ceylonese hill town of…

Beat Down on B Dup
|Beat Down on B Dup
Carl Johnson angrily throws Sweet's girlfriend out for attempting to convince him to smoke crack
|GTA San Andreas
|Glen Park
|Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas
|Grove 4 Life
|Unlocked by
|Home Coming
Beat Down on B Dup is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Sweet at the Johnson House, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos
Carl drops by the Johnson House and sees his brother, Sweet, about to smoke crack, drugs have destroyed the Grove Street Families, he says, so he may as well let them destroy him too. Carl convinces Sweet not to do it and Sweet's girl tell him that he will have to deal with B Dup. Infuriated Carl throws the girl out, saying he'll deal with him right now. Carl and Sweet head over to B Dup's house in Ganton.
A basehead sitting besides the door informs them that B Dup no longer lives there and that he has moved to Glen Park (the heart of Kilo Tray Ballas territory). Carl and Sweet head to Glen Park, start a gang war and successfully take it over. They then kill B Dup's guards and head inside.
Upon entering B Dup's house, B Dup claims that he was threatened and had no choice and claims that the order came from Big Smoke, now paranoid about competition and hidden away. B Dup says that only Big Smokes trusted lieutenants know where he's hiding. After Sweet threatens to kill him anyway, Dup calls his "crackslave" Big Bear and orders him to kill both Sweet and Carl. Big Bear angrily tells B Dup that he's tired of smoking crack and doing his housework and punches B Dup. He asks Carl if he can rejoin the Grove Street Families. They agree and Sweet then takes Big Bear to rehab in a white Infernus while Glen Park now belongs to Grove Street.
(Sweet is inside the Johnson House with his girl.)
Girl: Just a little bit of party. I heard you was down. So I gotta gift from B Dup.
Sweet: Come on now, I can't do that.
Girl: C'mon, Sweet, come on - make sure you enjoy this. This is a rich man's high. All the players are doing it. I know you're gonna enjoy this. It takes the pain away...
Sweet: Oh, yeah?
(Sweet nearly lights a drug pipe as Carl arrives.)
Carl Johnson: Oh, what the hell you doin'?!
Sweet: Shit. Man, everything is 'caine, 'caine, 'caine. Man, I just wanna see what's so good.
Carl Johnson: What's wrong with you, man?
Sweet: Man, this shit already destroyed the whole 'hood. I... I might as well let it destroy me, too.
Carl Johnson: Man, you don't need that shit, Sweet.
Sweet: What do you know about this? THIS is what it boils down to now.
Girl: Come on, Sweet. Toke the smoke.
Carl Johnson: Hey, man, that shit'll steal your heart. You can't see that? This bitch talks nice to you and this is what you do?
Sweet: Aw, fuck this!
Girl: You're going to have to deal with B Dup.
Carl Johnson: What? B DUP? We can handle that shit right now. Get your ass outta here. Bitch!
(Sweet and Carl are on the way towards B Dup's house.)
Carl Johnson: What were you thinking back there, bro?
Sweet: I'm tired, man, I'm real tired. Tired of putting the work in and still shit don't get better. Tired of seeing my family fall apart.
Carl Johnson: Sweet, man, you got more heart than that. Sure things are screwed up now, but we fittin' to take a corner, man. The day is coming when the Johnson family will be at the top. And it's coming real soon.
(Sweet and CJ outside B Dup's house, a basehead sits there.)
Carl Johnson: Hey, B Dup! Open up!
Sweet: B Dup!
Carl Johnson: Hey, open the door, punk!
Basehead: Yo', Dup ain't here. Moved out a while back.
Sweet: Where'd he go, dickhead?
Basehead: Yo' yo' yo', you're messing up a cat's colors, dude!
Sweet: Speak up, fool!
Basehead: Yo', I got something, a little something, just what you need...
(Basehead tries to show Sweet a pack of cocaine from his pocket and Sweet points a gun at him.)
Sweet: I don't want none of that shit! I oughta split your wig right now!
Basehead: No, no, no! No! NO! NO!
Carl Johnson: Sweet, no, you trippin', you trippin', man - c'mon, put the gun down! He a basehead, man!
Sweet: Shit. He wearing Family colors, that's supposed to make him somebody.
Carl Johnson: Look, fool, tell us where B Dup is, and we outta here.
Basehead: He lives over Glen Park way - his boy always there, give a cat what he needs.
Sweet: You're lucky.
(Sweet and Carl outside driving towards Glen Park.)
Carl Johnson: Oh man, Glen Park!
Sweet: Heart of Kilo Trays country.
Carl Johnson: Fuck it, I'm down, And that fool had it coming too long. We'll take the whole neighborhood apart.
Sweet: Yeah, let's roll!
(When they arrive at Glen Park.)
Sweet: Hit these Ballas hard!
Carl Johnson: Johnson boys rollin' through!
(When the neighborhood is taken over.)
Sweet: Okay, the neighborhood's sewed up now.
Carl Johnson: No sign of B Dup though, dog.
Sweet: Check that place over there.
(Sweet and Carl make it inside B Dup's house.)
Sweet: Say something!
B Dup: Hey, hey, no! I had no choice. I was threatened! Shit came from the boss, homie!
Carl Johnson: Pop this mother-fucker, man. I'm tired of hearing his bullshit.
B Dup: No, man! I'm sorry, dog - Smoke's fuckin' crazy. He's paranoid - just sits in the house, thinking other fools want his business!
Sweet: Where's Smoke?
B Dup: I can't tell you that.
Sweet: Then I'll snatch your fucking tongue out!
B Dup: Man, I ain't saying nothing, homie, 'cause I don't know! Only his lieutenants know where he's at!
Sweet: I oughta wet your shirt anyway!
B Dup: Bear! Hey, Bear! Get the fuck out here!
Big Bear: What's up, your lordship?
B Dup: Kill these mother-fuckers and I'll give you a whole quarter sack. Now handle that. Shoot them! What the fuck is wrong with you? You ain't hear what the fuck I said?
Big Bear: I'm tired of smoking, I'm tired of crack and I'm tired of doing your fucking housework. I'm free!
(Big Bear punches B Dup down on the floor.)
B Dup: Oh, shit! Man, what the fuck you do that for, man?
Big Bear: CJ, man, c'mon, put me back on the team. Gimme twenty bucks, and I'm all yours, man. Blast from the past.
Carl Johnson: Hey, let's take a ride, homie - I'm gonna shoot you somewhere you're gonna enjoy.
(Sweet, Bear and Carl outside B Dup's house.)
Sweet: I got Bear's back, man.
Carl Johnson: A'ight. I'll see you in a minute, Bear!
Big Bear: Where we going, Sweet?
Sweet: Someplace where we can get old Bear back!
Big Bear: A'ight. I'm down for that...
Upon completing this mission the player is rewarded with respect and the mission Grove 4 Life is unlocked.
Carl Johnson and Sweet forcefully reveal a basehead to reveal B Dup's whereabouts.
Big Bear returns to CJ's side and punches B Dup to the ground.
