Burquas aren't always blue: Kandahar 1968 - 2010
Born in a small village of Kandahar, Abdul Salam Zaeef rose to become a senior member of the Taliban. His memoirs of his former role, recently translated from Pashto and edited by Alex Strick van Linschoten and Felix Kuehn, reveal an extraordinary and provocative counter-narrative to the standard accounts of Afghanistan since 1979. Using My Life with the Taliban as an entry point to discussion at this lunchtime event, Alex Strick van Linschoten and Felix Kuehnwill explore the history and rol
New media: The online evolution of newspapers
In September, the New York Times did an about-face of sorts. It ended its paid-for online subscription model, under which it had been charging for access to premium content by columnists and commentators.
Len Apcar, deputy managing editor of the International Herald Tribune and a former editor-in-chief of NYTimes.com, says enabling free and unfettered access to the online paper has "proven to be a very successful advertising model by itself."

It Is a Bird...a Plane...a Recession, Or Is It?
It's been quite a week. Stock markets around the world showed sharp declines on Monday; on Tuesday, the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point. The rate cut helped stem the losses on some indexes, but by January 23, the volatility had returned. The obvious fear is one of recession -- a possibility that the White House and Congress are trying to avert by coming up with a stimulus package that will keep the economy off life support. How effective wi
A New Language for Mental Illness
Mental illness needs a “new narrative,” says
Jane Pauley. Just as cancer has moved from the shadows to pink ribbons and races for the cure, mental illness must shed its public aura of fear and shame. “Shrewd move; let’s do that,” says Pauley.
In a revealing and self-effacing talk, Pauley describes he

Introduction to Pitch Systems in Tonal Music Part 8: Tuning with Pure Major and Minor Triads
This presentation uses 3:2 ratios to create a 12-tone set very much like the twelve tone chromatic system in common use today. Despite its out-of-tune triads, this scale seems very functional but suffers from a gap in its frequencies, another comma, meaning it is not circular. Since the tonal pitch system relies on circularity (the ability to modulate from any key center to another without adjusting the tuning system), it becomes clear that although fifths and triads sound best when tuned to sim
