"Whenever I visited Mogadishu before, I wouldn't be allowed to leave the airport," says IDLO's Somalia representative in the region, Adam-Shirwa Jama. "These days, it's a little easier and I can even venture out for meetings".
Elsewhere, this might not sound like much. But in the blown-out capital of a country which, while edging toward reform, is still largely a collapsed state, the ability to travel into town matters: it is a measure of Somalia's tentative return to functional nationhood.
Although the ousted al-Shabaab militia continues to pose a lethal threat, improving security has allowed a measure of reconstruction to take place. The flak jackets are coming off. Amid a wave of investment and diplomatic support, diaspora Somalis are trickling back in.
In the last two years, Mogadishu has even regained that lost attribute: a mayor. Overall, emerging from a fraught transition period, most of Somalia's basic state institutions -- presidency, government, parliament -- are now in place.
Still lacking, of course, is any electoral democracy in the modern sense: with large parts of the country outside government control, and persistent volatility where that control exists, no popular vote is seen possible in the short-to-medium term.
Political jobs in Somalia tend to be filled through negotiation, or else through balloting within small, overlapping circles of notables. This lack of formal popular legitimacy places a high price on consensus -- and on the skills needed to bring it about.
"I may not have Somali nationality," says IDLO's Mr. Jama, a UK-educated lawyer. "But I'm a Somali. I understand the country; I understand its dynamics and its intricacies. When I talk to Somalis, I do it in their language -- which makes them much more receptive."
This cultural affinity is helping IDLO navigate what remains a fractious polity. An early partner of Somalia's restored civilian authorities; the organization has worked closely with local experts on the country's draft constitution. It has listened and advised, compared and explained, bringing three decades of legal expertise to bear on the Somali constitutional process.
IDLO's involvement, while never intrusive, has helped get closer to a text that is in line with international human rights standards. The review process is continuing, but there is momentum now for women -- in part thanks to fearless lobbying by Somali women themselves -- to be guaranteed representation; momentum to ensure that female circumcision remains outlawed; that children may not be used in armed conflict; that provisions on religion -- no faith other than Islam may be propagated in Somalia -- are less restrictively formulated than they might have been.
It also fell to IDLO to popularize this broadly progressive draft at several 'town hall meetings'. In what might be termed a constitutional traveling show, the organization held consultative sessions for a cross-section of Somali constituencies to have their say: Mogadishu residents, refugees, diaspora elites.
All well and good, no doubt, and recognized as such by key Somali officials in recent conversations with Mr. Jama. But with all this work behind it, is there still much left for IDLO to do in the country?
A great deal, as it turns out. The Somali parliament has four years to debate the draft constitution, until -- it is hoped -- it can be put to a national referendum. Much more legal and technical assistance will be required before that happens.
"There are still many gaps in the draft, and we need to support parliament to fill those gaps," Mr. Jama explains. "We must look, for example, at how sub-national units may be accommodated."
The reference is clear: there is still resistance to a centralized state in Somalia, where powerful clans continue to hold sway, regional differences are hard-wired, and secession (by the unrecognized state of Somaliland in the north) is a fact.
"We also need to look at implementation," Mr. Jama adds. "Institutions need to be set up for the Constitution to come into force. Legislation needs to be passed. There's a lot of work to do."
Most observers will agree: while the constitution has been broadly welcomed, some analysts have described it as existing in a parallel universe, or fantasy land. There is still a chasm between its vision of what Somalia should be, and what it is: a splintered state struggling to be reborn.
A synthesis has yet to emerge between competing legal systems -- traditional, Sharia and secular. A judiciary, both in terms of human resources and infrastructure, must be rebuilt.
All in all, Somalia's to-do list is vast. Yet the framework to tackle it is finally in place; the auspices, by all accounts, are the best seen for years. And as luck would have it, many of the items of that list are things IDLO is well equipped to help with.
The organization, of course, strongly believes that it is for the Somalis themselves to chart their own future. But equally, as they do so, they know whom to call for back-up.

I have never played a Lumines game I was suprised to see it as the highest rated Vita launch title. I've never really gotten into Tetris either, so I was wondering if I would like this. What makes these games so great, and keeps people coming back for more?
What's the deal with Lumines?

I read the title of this topic in Jerry Seinfeld's voice.
Lumines, airplane food, its all the same.
I'm really not surprised at all. If the Vita version is anything like the original then it's a fantastic, simple puzzle game with intensely colourful visuals and an amazing, reactive soundtrack. Personally, it's far and away my favorite puzzle game since Tetris, although if you don't really like Tetris then the whole "slowly-falling-block-puzzle" thing might not be for you. If you have an Xbox then I'd check out the Lumines Live demo for an idea of the general concept. If not then maybe check it out in a store or try out the original if you get the chance?

I've watched Seinfeld from season 1 to 9 about TWENTY TIMES, he never mentioned airplane food ONCE, nor did he do it on any of his stand up videos on youtube.. Is that the joke I'm missing? Or did he actually complain about airplane food somewhere?
Lumines, airplane food, its all the same.

It has awesome music, awesome and varied visuals, it's simple to understand, you can play it in short bursts or spend an entire afternoon on it, and most of all, it's addictive. Overall, it's what a great portable puzzle game should be.

Is it weird that whenever I look at the word, I can't make it sound like "Lu-mi-nes" in my head? I always think it should be "Loo-meens" or "Loo-mines."
Also, I should say that I'm not a fan of Lumines either. The only puzzle game for me is Meteos. Billions of deaths in every match. BILLIONS!

The comparison to Tetris only holds in that they're both staple puzzle games for a handheld systems. Tetris for the original GameBoy is legendary. Lumines can't touch that, but it's still a fantastic game. I'm enjoying Electronic Symphony on Vita.

FCBD: Sky Dog Press Unveils Final Cho/Spidey CBLDF Art at FCBD in Baltimore
Cards Comics, and Collectibles Welcomes Five Comics Creators, Shows off original Frank Cho Art for FCBD

All will be giving out free copies of their comics, doing sketches, and answering questions for fans young and old.
Marc Nathan, owner of CC&C, is enthusiastic about the day's events, stating,"After the overwhelming response to last year's FCBD, and the TV and press coverage we've received-- plus all these great creators on hand, we honestly expect a lot of new people coming in, a lot of our regulars, and we have hundreds of comics for everyone." CC&C will have on hand every FCBD comic offered, with extra copies ordered of the "Amelia Rules FCBD" edition, of which which Gownley is the creator. Conley's own "Bloop" is featured in an 8-page story in the book as well.

(EVEN) MORE FUND! CBLDF benefit comic adds 64 pages, Frank Cho exclusive cover for Baltimore Comicon
More Fund Comics, the star-studded anthology benefiting the CBLDF, just got bigger and better, and it's still just 10 bucks! In addition to the George Perez Hulk cover, Sky-Dog Press and The Baltimore Comicon are offering a show-exclusive Frank Cho cover, only to be found at the Baltimore convention Sept 20-21.
More Fund already had some big names involved: a George Perez Hulk cover, all-new multi-page stories by Mike Oeming (Powers), Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon), Frank Cho (Liberty Meadows), Geoff Johns & Scott Kolins (Flash, Avengers, JSA), Mark Wheatley (Frankenstein Mobster), Scott Kurtz (PvP)--- and pin-ups and sketches by John Romita, Adam Hughes, Mike Wieringo, John Romita Jr, Todd Nauck, and many more.
But now it's exploded with new art and stories-- expanded to 192 pages, with no price increase! " The generosity of the creators participating in More Fund has been overwhelming," said publisher/creator John Gallagher, "with over 30 stories by top artists (and the fact that it helps the CBLDF), I think everyone will see this is a "must-have" book."
Additions include stories by Stuart Immomen (Superman: Birthright), Crossgen's Ron Marz & Brandon Peterson, Joe Staton (E-Man), J. Bone (Spiderman: Tangled Web), Neil Vokes (Superman Adventures), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo)-- a whopping 37 stories in all! There are also more gallery pin-ups & sketches by such greats as Art Adams (Monkey Man & O'Brian), Terry Dodson (Spiderman: Black Cat), Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales), Howard Porter (JLA, Flash), Phil Noto (Birds of Prey), adding up to over 30 pages of top-notch art in the "CBLDF Gallery."
Oh yeah, about that Cho cover-- Introducing a brand new concept by Frank Cho and Scott Kurtz, the Baltimore Comicon exclusive cover sports the debut of "Summer Days," which a great prelude to the 10 pages "Summer Days" story, just added to More Fund!
"The great thing about More Fund debuting in Baltimore," added Gallagher, whose own Buzzboy makes an appearance in the book, "is the fact that so many of the MORE FUND creators will be at the show, to sign the books." The Baltimore Comicon will also be conduction a CBLDF benefit auction, with art from the book and it's creators, including the stunning covers by George Perez an Frank Cho, who will both be attending the show.

In an effort to meet the expected high-demand for Mark (THE ULTIMATES) Millar and Terry Dodson's TROUBLE #1, the July 2nd debut issue of the debut series in its EPIC Comics line, Marvel has officially decided to make an exception to its long-standing policy of not reprinting single issues by offering comic readers a second edition of this much-anticipated issue.
Called TROUBLE #1: THE 'SECOND CHANCES' EDITION (MAY035051 D, $2.99, MARVEL PG+), this additional printing will feature the same interior contents, but with a full-color, illustrated cover by artist Frank (LIBERTY MEADOWS) Cho, replacing the initial printing's photo cover by French photographer Phillippe Biabolos.
TROUBLE #1: 'THE SECOND CHANCES' EDITION (MAY035051 D) can be ordered by retailers now and will initially reach stores on 7/16. Readers and retailers are advised that quantities of this additional printing may be limited and orders allocated, so readers are encouraged to ask their local comics' retailer to reserve a copy.
However, Marvel will continue to take orders on the 'SECOND CHANCES' EDITION through 7/10, and if reader demand is sufficient, may go back to press again to make additional copies available on 7/30, one week before TROUBLE #2 will reach comic shops.
"Since most of the big twists on this book were held back until the very last minute, both Marvel and I appreciate that it might be hotter than anyone expected and not everyone's actually going to get it in time," said writer Mark Millar. "Superman: Red Son took everyone by surprise too and was sold out in most places inside 24 hours. Unfortunately, DC chose not to reprint it so I'm especially pleased at the idea of a second edition that means people can actually get their hands on TROUBLE #1 before some greedy, little sod hawks it on eBay or whatever for five times what it's actually worth."
As previously announced, this second offering of a hot Marvel book will help the publisher gauge the potential for future - although extremely rare - exceptions to its no-reprint policy.
"We'll use this opportunity to learn from our positive experiences and mistakes," Marvel's President & COO Jemas said in a press conference earlier this month. "The retailers we have spoken to feel this is the right approach for this kind of book. There's a lot of people who don't want to go back to monthly comic books as pamphlets; they like the collectibility of them. Others don't. I think that everybody on both sides of the fence agrees that, with a project like this, we're better off by making the first edition to order, and reprinting [the book] with an alternate cover."
Jemas also pointed out that, while the 'SECOND CHANCES' EDITION will feature an alternate cover, Marvel wouldn't use this opportunity to begin producing variant covers for titles that do not warrant them. "I really don't like forcing people to buy two copies of the same book. We're really hoping that the additional books will be for readers that missed their chance at picking up the first issue."
Written by Millar and illustrated by Dodson, TROUBLE #1 is the first chapter in a five-part limited series that introduces readers to four teenagers - May, Mary, Ben, and Richard - who enjoy a summer of love and romance, only to face serious consequences afterwards, including pregnancy.
Jemas has stated that the series also "sounds like it's going to be the origin of Peter Parker."
"Over a year ago," explained Jemas, "this project was called 'Parents', because at its inception, it was intended to tell the story of Peter Parker's conception. But when the creative team got to work, the story took on a life of its own, with the focus changing from being on the baby to the four teenagers who are living the life of teenagers. Now the story revolves around two heroes named May and Mary, who make enormous sacrifices in doing what they consider to be the right thing to do. And we shifted the name of the book from 'Parents' to TROUBLE to reflect that.
"This is a very good book, and I think it's going to turn out to be a great series overall. It stands on its own, notwithstanding Spider-Man. Which still leaves the question: Is this the origin of Spider-Man? And I'll give you the honest answer to that question - right now, we don't know. I don't think the answer to that question should be up to me or Joe [Quesada], or Mark [Millar], or [Marvel Comics Senior Editor] Axel [Alonso]. The final answer to that question ought to come from the comic book community itself."
By Popular demand! Moore Brandy!
Moore Creations, Inc. is proud to announce a new and exciting agreement with the National Cartoonist Society Award winner and renowned comic artist, Frank Cho. This agreement focuses on a collaborative effort between Clayburn Moore of Moore Creations and Frank Cho to produce 3D product based on characters in and artwork inspired by Frank Cho's multi-award winning comic, Liberty Meadows. The comic takes place in Liberty Meadows Animal Sanctuary, which houses unwanted and homeless animals. It follows the trials and tribulations of Brandy, Frank, and the crew as they try to contain and control the crazy and often humorous misadventures of the animal residents. The comic tackles everything from hilarious pop cultures to simple pleasures of daily life and the budding romance between Frank the veterinarian and Brandy, the beautiful caretaker of Liberty Meadows.
Says Frank Cho regarding the agreement, "Clay Moore is one of most talented sculptors in the modeling business especially when it comes to sculpting women. He's the best, Period. His Frazetta's princess statue alone is a testament of his awesome talent and knowledge of the female form. I'm thrilled and excited beyond measure that Clay Moore will sculpt Brandy. I can't wait to see it."
Clayburn Moore, President & CEO of Moore Creations, quoted, "Frank Cho has an approach to the female form in his artwork that I find incredibly sensual and appealing. Capturing the essence of Frank's beautiful illustrations in the Brandy sculptures will not only be a great pleasure, but very challenging and will certainly improve my work as a sculptor. I'm absolutely looking forward to it."
Art Gallery is now updated with several new pieces. Included in this batch are the cover art for the next Footman 15 and PvP comic book. Also the rejected t-shirt art for USDA Beltsville Agricultural Center.
Here's the latest from the Head Monkey himself:
I screwed up on the scheduling. I decided to switch the print date on Liberty Meadows Book 1 and Liberty Meadows Book 2. But forgot to send the ad for Liberty Meadows Book 1 for May Preview on time. So the book had to be bumped back a month. Here's the new Liberty Meadows book schedule:
June 2003- Liberty Meadows: Eden.
Book 1. Harcover!
August 2003(?)- Liberty Meadows: Creature Comfort.
Book 2. Hardcover!
The second Liberty Meadows book, Creature Comfort will collect Liberty Meadows issues 10 -18. Plus a new 8 or 10 page stand alone short story and cover/sketch gallery. It will be black and white, and will run 128 pages.

Monkey Boy Cho signs 2 year contract with Marvel Comics to revamp Shanna the She-Devil!
August 2002
Frank Cho just signed a two year semi-exclusive contract with Marvel Comics. His first project for Marvel will be a Shanna the She-Devil miniseries. Cho will write, draw, and completely recreate the Shanna character for this 8 issue miniseries. Cho's Shanna will be published under the Marvel MAX Line which is geared toward mature audience. " This Shanna that I've recreated is no way like the old Shanna. No more Kazar. No more B.S. animal rights message. No more frail second banana role. She's literally a brand new character. You guys have to read it to see what I'm taking about." Cho also stated that Shanna will be "a cross between Jurassic Park, Tremors and Budd Root's Cavewoman".
Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows comic and Liberty Meadows-related projects will not be affected by the Marvel deal.

Communications and Information Policy - Latin America (CIPP-LA)
In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), APC is focusing its policy advocacy with the open access framework to guide research, advocacy and ICT policy capacity development by civil society groups.
We are working hard to open up the LAC region's only regional policy space following on from the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), eLAC2007, to civil society inputs. By strengthening our partnerships with organisations active in policy issues, APC is building its capacity to understand and participate in policy processes, whether regional, thematic or national.
To facilitate the engagement of grassroots activists and communities in ICT policy processes, we are popularising ICT policy and internet rights content, materials and research through various dissemination channels. For example, we are producing radio spots on the APC internet rights charter in partnership with community radio activists. We also produce issue papers on relevant issues, aimed at informing advocacy. We also produce issue papers on relevant issues, aimed at informing advocacy. For instance, we are covering issues such as digital radio and TV and regulatory challenges for the deployment of wireless networks in Latin America.
As in Africa, LAC has adopted the open access framework to guide our different components: research to inform advocacy; ICT policy capacity development by civil society organisations to influence ICT policy processes; networking and collaborating with members and partners to increase our impact; ICT policy advocacy at regional and national levels; and production of relevant information and content resources for monitoring ICT policy developments and orientate advocacy actions.
The APC Latin American and Caribbean ICT policy monitor website (lac.derechos.apc.org) was revamped and re-launched in late 2006. The new site reflects the evolution of the project's objectives, including new thematic areas and useful resources such as the national statistics section.
The ICT policy newsletter in Spanish ("Políticas TIC y Derechos en Internet") covers key issues such as the expansion of Creative Commons in Latin America and the eLAC2007 regional ICT policy process.

Letter from a Dear Friend
I recently received an email from a great friend of mine from London, Kate. Last time we spoke, she had an amazing, high profile job that was perfect for her; it was her calling. And she was loving living in London — her home of many years after she left Australia. It had been over a year since our last communication. Below is a portion of her email. This is a great example of "trusting that you are never lost." Sometimes leaping before you look can lead to wonderful results.
Worlds change as mine did when I least expected it. I met a gorgeous man with whom I fell in love with and to whom I am now engaged. We met over a year ago and within 2 weeks we knew that "this was it." So simple at the end of the day. He was from Germany, and was living and working in London. Soon after we met, he was called back to Germany. A really hard time given that we had only been together for 4 months.
So, I made the big decision to leave my job – which was a very big "at the time" decision – to move to Germany. We now live in Munich and I absolutely love it.
What became apparent was that the "big" decision was at the end of the day a small decision — as things tend to be when you look at your life, stepping back, to recognize all of the new opportunities that make themselves apparent when you let go and free fall a bit. It's just the leap of faith that is the hardest thing to do. Once you have committed yourself to letting go, to moving forward in a new direction, the new wheels start turning and all of your personal resources kick in to make it work. Funny that.
Kate is getting married May 6th.

Its just as easy and fast to jump on the bike as it is to get in the car.
Just so those who don't know won't get the wrong impression. Getting into and out of gear, riding jacket and pants, takes maybe two minutes. Maybe. If I'm slow. I don't consider this "a lot of time" but my riding may be different than those who would consider this too long.
As for comfort, I've tried it both ways and have found it to be far more comfortable in gear than out of it. Having a layer between me and the elements makes riding better, for me. Bugs, rocks, and such hitting my skin or through a thin layer is uncomfortable to me. Exposed skin dehydrates me faster and reduces my time in the saddle as fatigue will set in quicker.
Then again, the nearest "corner store" for me is a twenty minute ride, and nearly any ride I take will be at least forty-five minutes to an hour round trip, at the shortest. Most rides are multi-hour. I ride mostly for pleasure rather than errand-running and social meet-ups, so this plays into my choices.
I have very little perspective for urban riding as it has been several decades since I have resided in any city. The only collisions I have ever had were when living in the city. I had four over a two year span. Been running from Houston ever since.
I'm not saying there is any right way, I only wanted to drop this in there for those who might be undecided, or whose environment may be better suited with another strategy.
This is offered as only one opinion, not as some absolute truth for all riders.
This is The Internet. Confirm for yourself anything you may see while visiting this strange and uncertain land.

Notes & Reviews:
Ildebrando Pizzetti was a composer whose operas avoid the lush lyricism of the Romantic Italian school in favor of a style reminiscent both of the Impressionists and of late Renaissance or early Baroque vocal music. Of his 15 mature operas, 'Fedra' is one of the best and enjoyed considerable success at its premiere in 1915.

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner says he's "confident" he won't be serving a second term, even if President Obama is reelected.
"He's not going to ask me to stay on, I'm pretty confident," Geithner told Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. "I'm confident he'll be president. But I'm also confident he's going to have the privilege of having another secretary of the Treasury."
Cabinet secretaries are rarely expected to serve a second term, and Geithner is no exception. As the last remaining member of Obama's original economic team, Geithner has fought back rumors of his departure before.
In August, after a brutal fight with Congress over raising the debt limit, many speculated that the secretary was preparing to resign. Word spread that his teenage son was planning to return to New York in the fall to finish high school. Geithner announced then that he had informed the president he would stay on, but did not say for how long.

I built that one as a kid...IIRC, it only had the stock wheelcovers. I don't have the later Presige or Millenium Series reissues, so I don't know about them.
Does the Reggie Jackson/Matchbox era kit include the five-slot Halibrand wheels?
AMT Studebaker Avanti

Second, (I'm doing this from memory insteead of having the kit in front of me, so take this with a grain of salt), most recent reissues had all the Bonneville parts except for the Halibrand wheels, the original decal sheet, and one very small radiator filler that replaces the coolant overflow container when building the Bonneville version. We can guess that the first two are covered in the new kit, but if they get the filler tube back, I'll be really impressed.
Best regards...TIM
Posted 23 July 2012 - 11:28 AM
if they get the filler tube back, I'll be really impressed.
Great info, Tim, thanks.
I will LYK on the filler tube in the retro reissue when it arrives.

Hi Casey
Does the Reggie Jackson/Matchbox era kit include the five-slot Halibrand wheels?
I'm not quite sure which parts were omitted after the original issue, but according to Round2's page, this reissue features:
- All Original Parts Restored
- Build Stock, Custom or Slat Flats Racer
- Retooled Optional Halibrand Factory Mag Wheels
- Four Different Wheel Options
- Steerable Front Wheels
- Opening Doors
- Expanded Original Decal Sheet
- Vintage Box Art Packaging
In answer to your question, No - The Jackson Kit was the least optioned with mostly only Stock parts included. But this turned into more Fun than I thought it might. Turns out there were (as far as the Kits I have on hand) 4 different Chrome Trees
My earliest Kit is Kit # 2364-200 and the Five Slots weren't offered but five spoked Wheels were.
Next up was the Modern Classic release there the Spoked Wheels were replaced by the Slotted Wheels. Oh and look in the lower left to the right of the Steering Wheel - The Knock Offs have been deleated!
On too the Reggie Jackson tree looks like a Fire Extinguisher has become your optional equipment
The last two releases I have are the Prestige and Millennium Kits which in my "collection" are the first to share a tree and the missing Knock Offs have been returned.

Yes, the racing radiator filler is in the new kit.
It has the new parts pack Firestone thin white walls and Goodyear Blue Streak Special Stock Car tires.

1) Both of the optional front nerf bars/bumperettes and the front bumper have obvious sink marks, the rear bumper has some really rough/poor chrome on the top edge, and the blower intake manifold is missing the mounting pins for both superchargers.
2) The chassis/floorpan piece has a pretty good twist, but it appear to be the only twisted/warped part. I see nothing short shot.
3) This kit still has some crisp details for being 40+ years old, not to mentioned reissued five times or so? Based on the appearance of the parts, the tooling appears to have held up well. If you're familiar with and a fan of '60s AMT kits, this one will put a smile on your face.
4) The included Avanti booklet is very well done, with plenty of vintage photos from the car's press debut and other events. Including the Studebaker National Museum card/flyer was a nice touch, too.
5) The front seats DO appear to be underscaled, as do the rear seats, but they seem to be true to the 1:1 car's seats.
6) The box is what I would call "extra strong" with double thickness sides, and the box art is definitely retro, but a bit restrained and slightly different from the original Trophy Series box.
7) The doors fit very nicely into the body shell, and there's a hint of a latch at the rear jamb/interior door panel edge, so the door stays closed.
8) All four sets of wheels are nicely molded, with no sink marks.
9) Woo-hoo, no metal axle rod passing through the engine block!

Call for proposals
Subjectivity, Difference and Method
Keynote Speakers
Emily Martin
Professor of Anthropology
New York University, USA
Dennis K Mumby
Professor of Organizational Communication
University of North Carolina, USA
Subjectivity is about being human, not just about being an individual self, but is also embedded in a broader social world. Philosophers have much to say about human nature and what it means to be both an individual and a social being. As researchers we also struggle with these issues, from the perspective of how we may capture the complexities and richness of human life. The two keynote speakers have addressed these thorny issues from different perspectives.
Emily Martin's work on the social and cultural dimensions of science has been groundbreaking in investigating the sociocultural construction of person- or self-hood, body and mind. Her ethnographies blend dogged ethnographic empiricism and informing perspectives of linguistic philosophy and political economy to generate cultural critique.
Dennis Mumby combines critical and discursive perspectives to examine the 'complexities and contradictions that characterize difference as a fundamental and defining feature of organizational life', and explore the nature of gendered identities in organizations. He challenges conventional readings by foregrounding relations of power, control and resistance.
The aim of Qualitative Research in Management Conference 2014 (QRM2014) is to explore the significance of subjectivity and difference in researching organizational life. We welcome proposals that address these issues in a substantive way as a topic of study, and/or from a methodological perspective. The latter may encompass a reflexive exploration of how notions of subjectivity and difference play through our attempts to capture organizational life and our relationship with our research participants. We also want to build on the initiatives of the Qualitative in Management Conference 2008, 2010 and 2012 in providing opportunities for qualitative researchers to discuss multiple ways of theorizing and meaning-making.
The conference will consist of two streams. Stream 1 will focus on exploring how subjectivity and philosophy play through our research in terms of topics of study, their influence on methodology, and how they may be implicated and as constitutive of the research experience. Stream 2 will address more general issues relating to methods, voices and ways of writing qualitative research.
We encourage paper, panel and other forms of presentation that explore philosophical, conceptual and methodological issues in researching organizational life from a qualitative perspective. Contributions can be from a variety of epistemological perspectives and a range of disciplines including management and organization studies, accounting, marketing, communications, cultural studies, information and decision sciences, sociology, psychology, education, health and public administration.
Call for proposals
Prospective contributors should send an abstract of up to 1000 words, via email, to Ann Cunliffe at firstname.lastname@example.com by December 12, 2013. The abstract should also include name, contact information, and submission stream.
A number of bursaries are available towards the cost of flights for doctoral students and early career researchers. Details will be available on the Conference Website soon.
Conference organisers and contact information:
Ann L Cunliffe, University of Leeds, UK
Karen Locke, College of William and Mary, USA

30 Years in 30 Days: Winners by Auction Price
The Breeders' Cup World Championships provided a storybook ending for the racing careers of the two most expensive winners sold at public auction.
Leading U.S. sire A.P. Indy is the other auction price leader, having sold for $2.9 million to Tomonori Tusurumaki at the 1990 Keeneland July select sale. Bred in partnership by William S. Farish and W.S. Kilroy and sold by Farish's Lane's End Farm, the son of Seattle Slew—Weekend Surprise, by Secretariat, would also start exclusively in graded stakes at 3. He won the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I) by 1 3/4 lengths and appeared in good form heading into the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) but got sidetracked by a bruised left front foot. A.P. Indy would reinforce his place among the country's best runners by winning the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) and the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I). He would also retire to stud at Lane's End Farm the following year.
Now pensioned, A.P. Indy has sired 150 stakes winners to date including champions Bernardini , Mineshaft and Belmont Stakes-winning female Rags to Riches.
*Unbridled's Song was hammered down as sold for a then-world-record price but turned back to the seller Ernie Paragallo when the buyer's veterinarian discovered a chip in his left front ankle. Paragallo raced him under Paraneck Stable.

Stovebold Six
I'm running a 250 six-cylinder and a four-speed with 3.08:1 gears in my '70 Camaro. I just bought the car, so I haven't driven it yet. My plan was to pull it and install a big-block, but with the price of gas I was thinking of just fixing the six so I can drive it as a commuter rather than buying a freakin' Kia or something. So, before I go and spend some money on fixing the six (it leaks oil and has a flat cam), I wanted to know what kind of mileage it would get rather than putting a mild small-block in it. I have most of the parts to small-block it, but if it will get better mileage with a six I want to keep the six. What do you suggest?
Glen Yotter
Via e-mail
Back in the day, we built many 230, 250, and 292 six-cylinder Chevys. They were great, reliable engines, but they weren't the best in mileage. We even built a 0.060-over 292 that was our "302" in a '63 Chevy truck. That thing was a kick to drive with a Muncie four-speed, 3.73 gears, and long 41/4-inch stroke. It didn't like anything north of 5,000 rpm, but it would haul the mail to that point.
The main problem with this Chevy engine design was the cylinder head. It used a Siamese, or common, inlet port for two cylinders. With this you didn't have much tuning going on in the intake tract. On our engine, we even went to the extreme of modifying the Offenhauser single four-barrel manifold with a divider wall that traveled down the center inlet port to feed cylinders No. 3 and No. 4. This was done in an attempt to divert some fuel into the center cylinders at higher engine speeds. At slow speed the center cylinders ran rich and the outboard cylinders ran lean. Dividing the center ports to about 3/4 inch from the floor of the port was a decent Band-Aid. We came up with this solution by watching the header tubes glow at different engine speeds.
Back to the sharing of inlet ports. Without any tuning, the engine doesn't get any benefit from a properly sized inlet port and manifold runner. When building torque for mileage you need everything you can get. If we were to guess, you should be able to knock down 15-18 mpg with a fresh 250 six. With a conservatively built small-block, this is also easily attainable and a whole lot more fun to drive.
Back to the "freakin' Kia." If gas keeps going the way it is, we may all be looking to smaller cars and keeping our toys to entertain us only on the weekends. Let's hope it doesn't come to this, but with GM closing four truck plants, they may have gotten the message. America, at least, needs a choice, and The General is stepping up to the plate. They will have small performance/high-efficiency cars for us all soon.

SCADA Protocol Vulnerability Analysis Project
Internet engineering
Project: SCADA Protocol Vulnerability Analysis
Funded by: National Infrastructure Security Coordination Centre, London, UK
The National Infrastructure Security Centre of London has contracted the BCIT Technology Centre to conduct a study on the vulnerability of protocols used in the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. SCADA is the network system used to control the power generation grid and facilities. The SCADA systems reliance on information systems, puts industrial production and human safety at risk from potential cyber attacks. For obvious reasons, security is becoming an increasing and major concern in this industry. The BCIT team will study and test the SCADA protocol Modbus/TCP, develop software for automatic vulnerability check and provide recommendations to improve the security of this protocol and associated SCADA devices.
The challenge
Computer networks based on Ethernet and TCP/IP are now being used in the electricity, oil production, and water industries to operate the critical processes. These systems, known in the industry as either process control systems or as Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, are now responsible for the uninterrupted operation of services that we consider essential for our way of life.
At the same time, the core of our information infrastructure - the Internet - has come under increasing attack from a wide variety of sources. Cyber attacks on information networks occur regularly and could have serious consequences such as disrupting critical services and even loss of life.
The solution
The NISCC, an organization set up to coordinate efforts within government and the private sector to defend Critical Infrastructures in the UK against electronic harm, contracted BCIT to develop a strategy to evaluate SCADA products for security weaknesses. The research team, including members from the University of Victoria and Cisco System's Critical Infrastructure Assurance Group, conducted an in-depth analysis of a widely used SCADA protocol, looking for inherent security flaws that could be exploited. They then developed an automated vulnerability checker designed to locate possible security vulnerabilities. The final result was as series of recommendations for improving the security of the protocol that will form a key part of the British Government's strategy for securing critical infrastructure in the UK.

How do you feel about parabens?
How do you feel about parabens? Do you avoid them?
When it comes to anything science and beauty-related, I rely on the lovely people at The Beauty Brains to break it down for me. The last time I read about parabens, there wasn't strong enough evidence to make a case against them. Reviews of past studies haven't proved cause to fear them.

text: I have a problem with Rock vs Taker at Mania. I don't see Rock's ego allowing him to lose on the grandest stage. Especially as it's not even a torch passing match. And the streak is to important to the fabric of Mania to ever be broken. So the match is flawed before it even starts. Short of Cena running in a screwing Rock, I can't see an acceptable result. And even that would suck balls.

While the traditional company model focuses on producing a season, ALT's programs focus on serving the needs of composers and librettists, developing new works, and collaborating with larger producing companies to help usher those works into the repertoire.

text: The Alameda Journal's Peter Hegarty has this story up about a meth bust on Alameda Ave. in Alameda. The East Bay Express has an item up about the arrest, too. What's most interesting about the Express post is the way it characterizes Alameda, in kind of a snotty way. "Alameda," writes the Express's Kathleen Richards, "home to old-fashion ice cream stores, barber shops, La Piñata and meth dealers." Sometimes it gets tiresome to be a city summed up in clever catch phrases—someone told me on the playground this morning something she'd heard people say about Alameda, "Home to newly weds and nearly deads."
