Congratulations to Larisa G. for being recognized as October's Engaged English Scholar of the Month. Thank you Larisa for your commitment to excellence! Larisa is a senior Honors English major and French Major. She has been involved with student organizations and community work. Along with her work outside the classroom, Larisa dedicates her time to helping other Undergraduates as one of the Undergraduate Studies office’s Peer Advisors. Larisa is a dedicated student who is currently working on her Suma Cum Laude Thesis. What does Larisa have to say about getting involved? "My education has been broadened, strengthened and challenged by my work outside of the classroom. During my work as an ELL teaching assistant at Cedar Riverside, I was forced to consider the value of an English education. It is so important to work both within and outside the walls of academia so that you learn to understand real-world complexities of many different kinds of existence." What suggestions does she have for students interested in getting involved? "Students that are interested in getting involved should try to find their niche. Read the English listserv and go to some off campus events that will augment both your academic career and your personal growth. Also, check out some of Eric Daigre’s classes. I got started at Cedar Riverside because of Eric’s 3741 Literacy and American Cultural Diversity course and it was an awesome experience!" Larisa's pictur ...

I'm just through the Sunday papers and, oddly, I haven't read a thing that rattled my spine. OK, there was one article that did. And it wasn't exactly the pabulum that was in it. It was the mix of the writer and what she said. Now, the Boston Globe is a bastion of high-think and good-think. One of its editorials today was about apple picking, not exactly high-think but quintessential good-think, like the United Nations. This editorial and the little essay to which I referred above, "Higher art," appear in what Bostonians think of as the serious Sunday section called "Ideas." Come to think of it, "Ideas" also had room for a longish piece by the editor of Seed magazine whose argument is: "According to an emerging vision of decision-making, the best predictor of good judgment isn't intuition or experience or intelligence. Rather, it's the willingness to engage in introspection." My, my, what a cutting-edge thought. The article is illustrated by four shadowy photographs, in two pairs: Obama and McCain, George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. You won't be surprised that a black arrow directs your attention to Obama, not aloof but introspective. The second arrow does not point to Bush. I thought there'd be no winner here. Carter, introspective? C'mon. He was maudlin and mawkish, like the lust in his heart. Nonetheless, he still gets the arrow. Anyway back to "Higher art," the first cause of the rattling of my spine. It was written by Marjo ... Source: www.mickeynews.com --- 6 days ago

An Australian researcher says some of the works attributed to classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach may have been composed by his second wife.Martin Jarvis -- conductor of the Darwin Symphony Orchestra and a teacher at Charles Darwin University in the Northern Territories -- said he became interested in the great German's work as a 19-year-old viola student in London in 1971. While he was playing one of Bach's cello suites, he decided the music did not sound Bach-like.He was told that Bach's original was long gone, with only a copy made by his wife, Anna Magdalena Bach.More recently, Jarvis has become a musical forensic investigator. ...

A second prominent anti-abortion Catholic legal Scholar has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president. Nicholas P. Cafardi , a law professor and the former dean of the Duquesne University Law School, is an establishment Catholic figure -- he is a leading expert on canon law, he spent 13 years as the general counsel for the Diocese of Pittsburgh, he spent three years on the board of the Canon Law Society of America, and he was appointed by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to the first National Review Board advising the church on its response to clergy sexual abuse. He authored an analysis of the bishops' response to clergy sexual abuse, "Before Dallas,'' that was published this year by Paulist Press. Cafardi (right) explained his decision to endorse Obama in a column for the Religion News Service which was published in the National Catholic Reporter . An excerpt: "Obama's support for abortion rights has led some to the conclusion that no Catholic can vote for him. That's a mistake. While I have never swayed in my conviction that abortion is an unspeakable evil, I believe that we have lost the abortion battle -- permanently. A vote for Sen. John McCain does not guarantee the end of abortion in America. Not even close....Every faithful Catholic agrees that abortion is an unspeakable evil that must be minimized, if not eliminated. I can help to achieve that without endorsing Republicans' immoral baggage. Overturning Roe v. Wade is not ...
The Association of American Publishers has rebranded the annual prizes handed out by its professional and scholarly publishing division for more than three decades. They will now be known as the the American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence , or " PROSE Awards ." According to a press release, "publishers will benefit from changes that not only enhance the prestige of the awards, but also improve publishers’ chances of taking home prizes." That's because publishers can now submit as many books as they like for each of the award categories, and the prizes themselves will be the object of a major PR and marketing push. Another new twist: Members of the Association of American University Presses will also be able to submit books for consideration, along with the professional and scholarly publishers who have historically been eligible. Submissions are being accepted now; the awards will be handed out in Washington, D.C., in February. New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media ...
