Because you all are working on your papers, there is no blog due next week.  However, if you attend this talk and blog about it I will give you extra credit towards your participation grade (either replace your lowest blog grade or add to your in class participation grade).  If you do blog on it, try and relate it to the conversation about Emerson's "The American Scholar" that you all had today.

Hope to see you there
