Extractions: Home Publications eLibrary Publications home ... Annual Report Conclusion to Opening Lines: Approaches to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning By Lee S. Shulman From 1968 to 1975, I spent much of my time as a faculty member helping to create a new medical school at Michigan State University. I became particularly interested in the clinical work of faculty members in medicine. Many of my professorial colleagues were physicians who cared for patients while also doing research and teaching. They read the medical literature voraciously to ensure that the clinical care they provided patients (and modeled for students) was state-of-the-art. Many of them also conducted clinical research, both informally and formally. They carefully documented their diagnoses and treatment plans. They followed patients to track the course of treatments and responses. Periodically, they published sets of cases illustrating the efficacies of different interventions. At times, they moved from the systematic documentation of their clinical work to "clinical trials," more formal experimental studies in which experimental and control groups are compared over time. Thus, medical faculty not only engaged in scholarly healing; they contributed whenever possible, and in various ways, to a scholarship
Safety Pin
Walter Hunt is credited with inventing this, at least in modern times.
http://www.sjmv.org/Campus/Class/scinventors/safetypin/SafetyPin.html

Extractions: The Magnificent Safety Pin The safety pin was invention and an improvement of a pin. Both improved and invented by a man named walter Hunt in New York the year eighteen forty nine. The safety pin is made out of a small piece of metal. This metal in which the safety pin was made was a combination of copper, iron, aluminum, gold, silver, and platinum. These metal were heated and formed into a small piece of combined metals. It all started one afternoon.. Walter Hunt had to think of a way on how to pay back a fifteen dollar debt. He was sitting at his desk just twisting a piece of wire while trying to think of how to pay back his debt. He sat twisting wire for three full hours and realized what he had created. He called it the safety pin. He although did not invent the safety pin he just improved it. The man whom Hunt had borrowed the money from was the one who gave him the piece of wire and told him he would pay him four hundred dollars for all the rights to whatever Walter Hunt created. In exchange Walter Hunt sold him the safety pin and all the rights to the device.

ABOUT INVENTING By Ronald J. Riley This is aimed at 5th through 12th grade students. So you want to be an inventor. Almost everyone invents, but they do not recognize that their idea is an invention. All children invent, children are often more inventive than adults, and a few even get patents. You may read about twenty children inventors in "Brainstorm" , soon to be released in paperback at a much lower price. Most people's thinking becomes rigid as they grow up. The key to inventing is not becoming rigid in your thinking. As people gain more experience they tend to rule out creative ideas. An inventor strikes a balance between between being practical and being creative. All inventors, even adults produce a hundred or more ideas that are not practical to get a patent for every idea that is worth pursuing.

http://www.georgetown.edu/irvinemj/gendersextexts/itshome.html

Extractions: Martin Irvine This course will explore the cultural configurations of gender and sexuality as they are represented in several kinds of writings and cultural productions (literature, philosophy, historical writings, biography, medical writings, legal documents, visual arts) in order to recover what we can call the "invention" of the human subject in the centuries before the modern era. Central to the "inventions" attributed to this era is the meaning of sexual love, traditionally known as "courtly love," associated with the literature of the 12th through 15th centuries. We will also explore the gendering of literacy itself and the various cultural alignments of masculinity and femininity, and investigate the status and identities of women writers like Marie de France and Heloise. Students will also be introduced to doing research on the Internet and the World Wide Web via The Labyrinth , a World Wide Web server for medieval studies hosted by Georgetown. Students will be invited to attend a special cultural studies conference

Extractions: United States: inventing demons There is a coalition of the radical right in the United States, including the odd Democrat, that has long held that patriotic mobilisation is important in holding American society together. When detente broke out in the 1970s, these hawks worried about any reduction in international tension, however slight. Since 11 September 2001 they have had no more worries. By Philip S Golub War and militarisation would have been impossible without 11 September, which tipped the institutional balance in favour of the new right. There were other possible responses that would have had a less destabilising effect on the world. One would have been to strengthen multilateral cooperation to contain the stateless trans-national terrorist threat, and seek to reduce tensions and resolve conflicts in areas at risk, notably the Middle East. Another would have been Keynesian-style regional development on Marshall Plan lines. This would have encouraged local forces for democracy, and would undoubtedly have been more effective than war in stimulating the US and global economies. As we know, neither course was followed. Instead, the Bush administration has allowed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to fester, mobilised massively, and opted for "preventive war" as a means of policing the planet. Apart from such opportunist motives as seizing the strategic chance to redraw the map of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf (1), this choice reflects much more far-reaching imperial ambitions. In the words of Anatol Lieven of the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, "the basic and generally agreed plan is unilateral world domin ation through absolute superiority, and this has been consistently advocated and worked on by the group of intellectuals close to Dick Cheney and Richard Perle since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s" (2).

Extractions: Inventing national identity In the dispute over who "owns" Kosovo, Serbian and Albanian nationalists brandish arguments from history going back to antiquity or the Middle Ages. Yet nations are a recent creation, barely two centuries old. They were literally invented. And, once invented, they were consolidated by founding myths - and sometimes by bouts of ethnic cleansing. The recent upsurge of nationalism in Europe reflects above all a failure of politics and the difficulty of forging new collective identities based on a genuine political project. By Anne-Marie Thiesse Over a century ago the French historian Ernest Renan predicted the death of nations in Europe. "Nations are not eternal. They had a beginning and they will have an end. And they will probably be replaced by a European confederation" (1). His prophecy would be about to come true as the millennium draws to a close, were it not for an inherent contradiction in European politics. Just as the maturing European Union is beginning to supersede the nation-state, the banner of nationalism is being raised all over the continent - not only in former communist countries but also in Western European states like Spain, Belgium and the United Kingdom.

http://www.michaelparenti.org/InventingReality.html

Extractions: Distributed by Wadsworth H ow much of what the news media tell us is true, and how does it control our view of the world? In this illuminating, provocative critique of the news media, Michael Parenti examines the subtle but profound ways in which the media influence and manipulate the public's perception of reality. He attacks the widely held belief that the news media are controlled by liberals and liberal opinionand he clearly depicts the news media as a controlling institution of the American capitalist system, an institution that serves the interests of the rich and powerful while appearing to serve the many. In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, Parenti dissects news coverage of the most recent world eventsincluding the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Gulf War, the U.S. invasion of Panama, and the contra war in Nicaraguaand demonstrates how the media shape public awareness and attitudes through distortion or suppression of specific information. His argument will reeducate and enrage a public that has come to believe in an impartial, free press. The Progressive magazine calls Inventing Reality "essential to a fuller understanding of what we read and see daily."

http://www.globalagendamagazine.com/2005/mahmoodmamdani.asp

Extractions: I was in New York City on 9/11. In the weeks that followed, newspapers reported that the Koran had become one of the biggest-selling books in American bookshops. Astonishingly, Americans seemed to think that reading the Koran might give them a clue to the motivation of those who carried out the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center. Recently, I have wondered whether the people of Falluja have taken to reading the Bible to understand the motivation for American bombings. I doubt it. The post-9/11 public debate in the US has been inspired by two Ivy League intellectuals Samuel Huntington at Harvard and Bernard Lewis at Princeton. From Huntingtons point of view, the Cold War was a civil war within the west. He says the real war is yet to come. That real war will be a civilizational war, at its core a war with Islam. From this point of view, all Muslims are bad. Bernard Lewis, in contrast, makes a more nuanced claim. He says that there are good secular Muslims and bad fundamentalist Muslims, and that the west needs to distinguish between them. He identifies a secular point of view with western culture so completely that, for him, a secular Muslim is necessarily a westernized Muslim. A neoconservative guru, Lewis was a major inspiration behind the Iraq War.
Abraham Gesner Saved The Whales

Extractions: to a fraction over seven cents in 1895. How Capitalism Saved the Whales by James S. Robbins It is an article of faith among environmentalists that the ills of the world can be traced to economic and technological development, especially since the industrial revolution. The changes that took place in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, such as harnessing new sources of energy (moving from water to coal power, for example), the development of the factory system, and the human population explosion, they say, led directly to the current problems with waste disposal, air and water pollution, overcrowding, and misused resources, not to mention global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and other highly speculative developments. Fixation on doomsaying can cause environmentalists to forget that the negative consequences of industrialization are minute compared to the positive developments of the industrial age. People are healthier, live longer, and are more productive than ever before in history. But defenders of industrialism can go even further to show that in many cases technological progress has benefited the environment. This is vividly demonstrated in the case of one of the most emotion-laden symbols of environmentalism, the whales.

Extractions: Help The Process Handbook Project Matrix Of Change Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century We believe that a powerful basis for understanding how information technology can help people work together more effectively will result from a better understanding of the nature of coordination. Therefore, work in the center includes studies of coordination in many different forms: (1) Organizational structures and information technology - studying how people work together now and how they might do so differently with new kinds of information technology. (2) Coordination technology - designing and studying innovative computer systems that help people work together in small or large groups (e.g., "groupware", "computer-supported cooperative work", and "electronic markets"). (3) Coordination theory - developing and testing theories about how coordination can occur in a variety of systems such as human organizations, markets, and computer networks.

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. W e've spoken before of John Fitch , the star-crossed steamboat inventor who ran a steamboat service between Philadelphia and Trenton, seventeen years before Fulton's boat. Fitch's early marriage had turned into a disaster, and Fitch had fled from it. But he left an infant son, Shaler Fitch. Shaler begat Irene Fitch, who married civil engineer John Garis. Garis helped to build the city that was old Chicago before the great fire So their daughter Josephine, born in 1839, came from a strong creative lineage. She married a merchant and politician named William Cochran and tried to live the uptown life of a wealthy socialite in Shelby county, Illinois. She didn't share her husband's populist thinking. When she spelled her married name, Josephine Cochrane fancied it up by adding an e on the end.
