Police to increase pressure on organized crime
Red Deer has recorded three targeted violent crimes in less than a month but the city's top cop says there's no reason to sound alarms.
Red Deer RCMP Supt. Warren Dosko said on Monday that 99 per cent of Red Deerians live active, productive lives and have no reason to fear.
But he did say that those involved in high-risk lifestyles are vulnerable.
"It's concerning to us to have that many," said Dosko, noting the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) will be fully operational in the next six weeks and that will put more pressure on Central Alberta's organized crime world.
"Hopefully we will see a decrease in the level of targeted violence. Even though it is targeted, it has the potential to spin off and affect the innocent public. That's a big concern for us."
On Saturday, a 36-year-old man was shot in the shoulder while he tried to fend off three intruders wearing balaclavas at his home in Bower. The man underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
Dosko said police are in the early stages of the investigation.
"Very odd circumstances," said Dosko. "Because we know that is just not a normal activity where people show up at your house wearing masks and carrying weapons."
Dosko said typically these types of crimes are related to the drug or organized crime world where gangsters are collecting on an unpaid debt.
"I'm not saying it's this case but they (those types of crimes) are very much related to organized crime drug world," said Dosko. "I wouldn't say it's unusual for Red Deer to have three types of those incidents in one month."
Red Deer recorded its first homicide on Jan. 1 when Lloyd Robert Sarson, 25, of no fixed address, was found dead as a result of gunshot wounds in a vehicle in an alley in Eastview. A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a 17-year-old Manitoba boy.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that the murder was gang-related.
On Jan. 13, Shawn Sattler, 34, of Red Deer, died in Eastview under suspicious circumstances. Police believe Sattler may have been in a physical altercation at a residence before the call to police about an unresponsive man.
The investigation continues. Results from a Jan. 16 autopsy have not been released.

Context.— The sex ratio of 1.06:1, the ratio of male to female births, has declined
over the past decades. Recent reports from a number of industrialized countries
indicate that the proportion of males born has significantly decreased, while
some male reproductive tract disorders have increased.
Objectives.— To examine the evidence for declines in the male proportion at birth
and suspected causes for this decline, and to determine whether altered sex
ratio can be considered a sentinel health event.
Data Sources.— Birth records were analyzed from national statistical agencies.
Study Selection.— Published analyses of trends in ratio of males to females at birth and
studies of sex determinants evaluating epidemiological and endocrinological
Data Extraction.— Proportion of males born: 1950-1994 in Denmark; 1950-1994 in the Netherlands;
1970-1990 in Canada; and 1970-1990 in the United States.
Data Synthesis.— Since 1950, significant declines in the proportion of males born have
been reported in Denmark and the Netherlands. Similar declines have been reported
for Canada and the United States since 1970 and parallel declines also have
occurred in Sweden, Germany, Norway, and Finland. In Denmark, the proportion
of males declined from 0.515 in 1950 to 0.513 in 1994. In the Netherlands,
the proportion of males declined from 0.516 in 1950 to 0.513 in 1994. Similar
declines in the proportion of males born in Canada and the United States are
equivalent to a shift from male to female births of 8600 and 38000 births,
respectively. Known and hypothesized risk factors for reduced sex ratio at
birth cannot fully account for recent trends.
Conclusion.— Patterns of reduced sex ratio need to be carefully assessed to determine
whether they are occurring more generally, whether temporal or spatial variations
are evident, and whether they constitute a sentinel health event.

Just in time for spring break and prom season, the American Academy of Pediatrics announced today that minors should be banned from going to tanning salons.
The increased risk of skin cancer posed by tanning beds justifies the strong stance, says Dr. James Fahner, the chief of pediatric oncology at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.
"I think it's long overdue," he said. "We're reaching a point where you might consider there's an epidemic of risk for our young people."
Teens who use tanning beds to get a base tan before a trip down South or to add a little color before prom are increasing their risk for skin cancer as well as premature aging of their skin, Fahner said.
"We are sending this terribly mixed message to our young people that you should go after this dark, youthful, healthy-looking tan," he said. "But that kind of repeat UV skin injury not only puts you at risk of skin cancer, it also raises your risk of spotting and discoloration and it leads to premature aging of the skin."
He cited statistics from several studies that showed:
• As many as a third of 17-year-old girls use tanning beds.
• More than 500 new cases of pediatric melanoma -- the most serious form of skin cancer -- are reported each year.
• Since 2003, the number of cases of pediatric melanoma has gone up 3 percent a year.
As a pediatric oncologist, Fahner finds the use of tanning beds especially frustrating because it is one of the risk factors for childhood cancer that can be controlled.
"When we see children with cancer and their grief-stricken parents are faced with the diagnosis, the first questions they ask are 'What caused it? Is there anything we could have done to prevent it?'" he said. "In so many cases, we don't have an explanation for the cancer risk."
While some might justify using a tanning bed because of the need for vitamin D, Fahner said the argument doesn't hold up. Fifteen to 20 minutes of natural sun exposure a day is enough to ensure an adequate supply of vitamin D, he said.
Creating a base tan to prevent future sunburns also does not make sense, he said.
"There's no evidence that that's preventive in any way," he said. "It just adds to your UV skin exposure and UV damage."
According to Time magazine, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer division of the World Health Organization, classified tanning beds as "carcinogenic to humans" in 2009.
A post on CNN.com quotes a frequent tanning-salon visitor who was diagnosed with melanoma at 19: Samantha Hessel said she used tanning beds throughout high school because she "wanted to look good and have that darker skin color."
It also said the Indoor Tanning Association disagreed that tanning should be legislated. Spokesman John Overstreet said parents should be the ones deciding whether minors use tanning salons.

Talk about rocking the foundations of fashion. Not so long ago, a woman whose slip was showing was guilty of a glaring faux pas; now, slips have slipped out from under entirely, as designers present an array of lingerie styles—from pastel taffeta minis to floor-grazing silk body skimmers with lace insets—that are tailored for total exposure. Already, standard-barers such as Madonna, Courtney Love, Helena Christensen and Halle Berry have shimmied into the slinky creations. "They're not for everybody—you have to have an amazing body," says Richard Tyler, whose filmy fashions have been worn by Julia Roberts, Kim Basinger and Kelly Lynch. "And wherever you wear one, you'll certainly get plenty of attention."
First shown on designers' runways last fall, slips are only the latest undergarment to go public, after bras, corsets and boxer shorts made the jump from inner-to outerwear. As fashion marks its return to femininity, slips represent the ultimate in antigrunge. "Women are no longer fearful of looking like women," says Richard Martin, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. "They are enjoying gender once again." Says Monette Moati, owner of Sabbia Rosa, the posh Paris lingerie shop where Faye Dunaway, Linda Evangelista and Elle Macpherson pick up slips: "Everything was mixed up a few years ago. Now femininity is coming back. Real men like real women. It's about reconquering men."
That's not to say every slip wearer aspires to be a siren a la World War II poster girl Rita Hayworth or Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8. But with most of Seventh Avenue currently focusing on conservative clothes like tailored suits and knee-length skirts, Moati insists that the slinky pieces are the easiest way to go glam these days. After all, she says, "a woman moves around much differently in a slip than she does in a jogging suit."

The Infant Development and Environment Study
TIDES study participants: access surveys here
TIDES is a study about how everyday chemicals in food, cosmetics, and household products may affect children's health and development. TIDES researchers are particularly interested in how the mother's exposure to these chemicals while pregnant may affect children before they are born, so the study will follow pregnant women and their babies.
Pregnant women recruited in one of five cities during their first trimester will complete a questionnaire in each trimester. We will store a sample of the urine and blood women give at their routine prenatal visits, and then we will measure environmental chemicals in these samples. The women and their children will also participate in a follow-up visit at birth. We hope to conduct additional follow-up if funding permits.
Enrollment of eligible women in the five participating cities is currently underway. In New York, For more information, or if you're interested in participating, please click on the link below for your city:

First, I have never met Ray Lewis. I have never spoken to him, or shook his hand, or made eye contact with him. I have never received anything of value or otherwise from Ray Lewis. I've only been in the same room with him on one occasion, inside the Atlanta courtroom where he stood charged with the murder of two African-American men following the Super Bowl in 2000. I only saw the back of his head, his broad shoulders and the bevy of beautiful women seated behind him.
During Lewis' trial I served as a legal analyst for the local NBC affiliate. Each day, with several other attorneys, I would watch the trial on a monitor in the studio and offer commentary to the station's audience during the break. Among this group of attorneys were the personal attorney of Creflo Dollar, pastor of the World Changers Ministries mega-church, and an attorney who would later represent several young men who accused New Birth Missionary Baptist Church pastor Eddie Long of sexual misconduct.
After a couple of days, the station asked me to remain after the court session had ended and give a recap for the evening news program. Additionally, each Sunday morning I was asked to appear on air and give an overview of the past week of the trial and to make some projections about what to look for in the upcoming week. This Sunday morning news program was hosted by Tiffany Cochran, daughter of the late attorney Johnnie Cochran.
While my colleagues concentrated on the sensationalism of the trial due to Lewis' celebrity status, I took the approach that I often did when defending a "no-name" defendant in a capital murder case. I operated from the perspective that there are legal fictions that the law considers to be truth, and then there is Truth.
Thus I viewed the proceedings honestly seeking the Truth, because the jurors would take an oath to honestly seek the Truth. When I tried cases, if I could get the Truth to walk into the courtroom, I would ask the jury to nullify the legal fictions known as the truth and render a not-guilty verdict based upon their oath to honestly seek the Truth.
I learned this trial technique as a teenager watching the late Hank O'Neil try cases in the Bibb County Courthouse in Georgia. I had a job working in the kitchen of a private hospital that was within walking distance, so when things were slow I would sneak out and find a trial at the courthouse. A few years before the Ray Lewis trial I had seen Johnnie Cochran successfully use the art of nullification in defending O. J. Simpson in a double-murder case.
The state started off poorly in its prosecution of Ray Lewis. At the bond hearing the late owner of the Baltimore Ravens, Art Modell, flew into town to testify on behalf of Lewis. The young prosecutor asked Modell a leading question without knowing the answer. He thought he had the right question to make Modell's support of Lewis seem self-serving. After he painted a picture of how important Lewis was to the defensive scheme of the Ravens, the young prosecutor went in for the kill. (And here I am relying upon my shorthand notes from more than a decade ago.)
"Isn't it true you have never had a player on your team with a big celebrity status like Ray Lewis?" the prosecutor asked.
I sat in the courtroom and said to the person seated next to me, "Ray Lewis just got his bond."
Modell responded, "No, that is not true."
The stunned prosecutor had fumbled the ball on the opening drive. "What, no… You mean you have had a player like Ray Lewis before?"
"Who?" the stunned prosecutor asked.
"I once had a fellow by the name of Jim Brown," Modell replied.
A hush fell over the courtroom. Ray Lewis, who I recall was not present at the bond hearing, was granted a reasonable bond.
The state had not researched the facts. Anyone who had followed football for any length of time knew that Modell bought the Cleveland Browns from Paul Brown back in the day when Jim Brown was the best running back in the NFL and its most vocal Black Power advocate.
When the trial started, District Attorney Paul Howard decided he would try the case. After all, he had been one of the state's top criminal and civil defense attorneys before running for the post of district attorney. The problem was he had not tried a case in more than a decade. He was rusty, and because his job as district attorney had put him in a tug-of-war with the judges for control over the Fulton County Courthouse, he came off as combative toward the trial judge. He did not play well in front of the jury and the glare of the television cameras.
Two days before the infamous plea deal was struck—in which the murder charges against Lewis were dropped in exchange for his testimony against his two co-defendants—I went to the courtroom to observe the trial in real time. I wanted to look into the eyes of the jury. I saw a jury wanting very much to give Howard the guilty verdict he sought, but their eyes said they did not believe the state's case against Lewis.
During my analysis of the trial that Friday evening, I talked about the mood in the courtroom but did not offer any conjecture about what I saw in the eyes of the jury. I saved my thoughts on the jury for the Sunday morning show, after I carefully considered what, if any, influence my comments would have should any of the jurors peek and see my analysis on television. Little did I know the prosecution would be watching my commentary.
When Tiffany Cochran broached the subject, I opined that I did not think Howard would get a guilty verdict on the murder charges against Lewis, and that if Lewis walked the co-defendants might walk too. By the time I had gotten into my car and driven to my church service fifteen minutes away, Howard had placed a call to Lewis' defense attorneys and offered to discuss a plea deal. When I arrived home from church, at around 1:15 p.m., the news was reporting that a plea deal had been struck.
The proverbial Truth simply was not on the side of the state to convict Ray Lewis of murder, and none of his actions tied him to the acts of his co-defendants. I knew it while watching the proceedings from the television studio, and when I sat in the courtroom observing the jury I knew that they knew it too.
Shannon Sharpe, a commentator for CBS Sports and a former teammate of Lewis', sat down with Lewis before Sunday's Super Bowl. Lewis told him that a man looked him in the face back then and said: "We know you did not have anything to do with this but you are going down for it."
Lewis also defended paying money to the families of the two young men killed that night in 2000 to settle civil litigation, saying that he helps a lot of families and did not see why he should not help those two families as well.
After the interview, Sharpe's colleague Boomer Esiason said, "I'm not sure I buy the answer."
Had Lewis been convicted in that Atlanta courtroom more than a decade ago, I'm not sure the jury verdict would have spoken the Truth about what happened that fateful night following the Super Bowl in 2000. It is doubt like this, based upon reason, that says Paul Howard did the right thing in dismissing murder charges against Ray Lewis, as Truth was about to walk into that courtroom and justice would have served no one on the side of the victims.

Dear Readers,
In honor of summer solstice, here's another very short story.
Best wishes,
Matthew Sharpe
Story #53
There was a big puddle of green liquid in the middle of the street. Leslie stood on the sidewalk waiting for the light to change. The warm spring sun shone down on her bare legs. A car sped through the puddle and the green liquid flew up onto her legs, her hands, her white shorts, and her beautiful white sweater. She felt a drop hit her lip. She gasped and leapt back, too late. The remaining liquid swayed back and forth in the shallow hole in the street, awaiting the tires of another car. Leslie looked down and saw the bright green flecks on her legs, her shorts, her soft sweater. She carefully located an untouched area of her right sleeve, raised it to her bottom lip, and wiped away the drop. Her lip stung, as did the places on her legs and hands where the drops had landed. The drops on her sweater and shorts were turning brown and spreading out. She could not go to work like this. She should not have worn these clothes to work in any case, but, having shown a certain senior partner her intellect repeatedly without the desired result, she had decided that today, the first warm day of spring, she would show him her legs, which were muscular, but womanly-muscular, not bodybuilder-muscular. And now the green liquid corroborated that this had been a poor decision. She went into the nearest Starbucks. There was always a nearest Starbucks. She went into the ladies' room, dampened a paper towel, and wiped the green fluid first from her clothes, then from her skin. Painful bright red dots remained on her skin where the drops had been, and the unwashable stains went deeper into the fabric of her clothes. She was Lady Macbeth, but without Macbeth—she was just Lady, in the ladies' room, and the only soul she'd ever murdered was her own, repeatedly. Like Banquo, it came back. She exited the ladies' room intending to treat herself to a latte, now that her day had gone off the rails, but the number of people waiting in line to order their drinks in the invented vernacular Starbucks had trained them to use made Leslie change her mind. She was about to exit the shop when a man at a table in the back signaled her and pointed down to two lattes on his table, one presumably for her. He was not the senior partner of her fantasies of summer on the Cape and the long lawn down to the sea, he was an old homeless man whom she often saw sitting in front of the glass tower of which her law firm occupied three floors. Leslie's father was an alcoholic who now resided in a state psychiatric facility and so she had less resistance than most paralegals to the allure of gray-haired derelict men. She sat beside him. He was ugly and dirty. His long hair and long beard were matted, his wool blazer—too warm for this spring day—greasy. She braced for his vaguely fecal smell to hit her nostrils. It did. She shivered in the icy air of the Starbucks. "Let me give you something to cover your legs," the man said, and reached into a grimy, battered plastic bag on the floor by his blackened tennis shoes. He removed a stiff, stained pale blue towel and draped it over her thighs, on which blisters were now forming at the spots where the fluid had landed. She stared at the latte in the paper cup on the table in front of her. "Go ahead, I didn't spit in it." She brought the cup to her lips and tilted it up. The scalding liquid ran down her throat. "Donald Matthewson does not love you," he said, naming the man of the dreams of the lawn chairs and the yacht. "He loves Karen Ingold," he said, naming the new paralegal from Bryn Mawr. "How do you know all this?" asked Leslie, who felt the latte perform its grim job of exciting her nerves to the edge of tolerability. "When you sit in front of a building begging for change ten hours a day, the people who work there eventually reveal themselves to you." "They tell you?" "They show me." "I've shown you that I love Donald?" She'd never said it out loud before. "You don't love him. You don't even know him." Leslie was pretty, smart, relatively nice and normal, and that was why it was so perplexing that not one man of her own social station or higher ever courted her. The man said, "Kiss me." "What?" "Kiss me," he said, and cackled, showing brown teeth. "And everything I know will be transmitted to you through my lips, no joke." She took another ill-advised gulp of corporate latte, pursed her young lips, closed her eyes, and leaned forward. She smelled him coming toward her. His old cracked lips suctioned hers. His wet tongue flicked the soft walls of her mouth. The blisters on her legs and hands and the one on her lower lip grew hotter and hotter. Everything ever done to him and everything he'd done entered the dark silent space of her mouth, went up through its roof, and spread out across her brain, not as pictures or words, but as feeling. She pulled away with a shout. The man pointed with his eyes toward three paralegals she worked with, staring at her in bewilderment and horror from the other side of the Starbucks. "Oh they're not going to do anything," Leslie said, staring them down. "Besides, even if I get fired, my insurance card will be good for three months—free visits to my primary care provider." "Well then you better run along and get those sores looked at before your card expires."

SWEDESBORO — The Swedesboro Branch of the Gloucester County Library has received the New Jersey Council for the Humanities Book Award collection.
The New Jersey Council for Humanities selects 30 books annually that are either written by a New Jersey author or are about New Jersey in some way. From this list, they choose four honor books and one book that receives the Council for the Humanities Book Award.
The council then selects five libraries throughout the state, based on an in-depth application process, to receive the entire 30-book collection, of which Swedesboro was one.
"It's the mission of the council to develop, support and promote the humanities," said Bruce Grefe, a member of the NJCH Board of Trustees and the book award committee.
The Swedesboro Branch library director Marge Dombrowsky applied for the grant in order to grow her library's collection, but also to help the entire Gloucester County Library System.
"The new Jersey Council of Humanities is such a prestigious group," she said. "For all of Gloucester County, this gives us resources we didn't have."
The NJCH asked applicants for this year's grant what programs they offer and if they had faced any adversity in fulfilling their mission of educating and providing services for their respective communities.
The Swedesboro Branch library spent 13 months in a satellite location, providing minimal books, but maximum service, keeping programs running and computer services available while they awaited a renovation project at the library building.
The collection's 30 books include this year's winner "The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen," by Kwame Anthony Appiah and the four honor books: "Protecting New Jersey's Environment: From Cancer Alley to the New Garden State" by Thomas Belton, "The Skull Collectors: Race, Science, and America's Unburied Dead" by Ann Fabian, "The History of White People" by Nell Irvin Painter and "The Hellhound of Wall Street: How Ferdinand Pecora's Investigation of the Great Crash Forever Changed American Finance" by Michael Perino.
The collection is available at the Swedesboro Branch library on Kings Highway or through the county library's LOGIN system.
"This is really a wonderful resource to the people in New Jersey," said Anne Wodnick, the Gloucester County library Director. "We were thrilled to be one of only five libraries to be selected, and all of the libraries in the county will benefit."

A somewhat self-righteous mood can negatively impact your ability to relate well with others today. Because you likely believe that your values are more ethically justified than those of your peers, you may find yourself tempted to defend your opinions and beliefs with all of the passion you can muster. Yet even as you strive to convince others of the innate truth of your point of view, you will likely sense that your righteousness is overblown and that there is nothing inherently wrong with ideological disagreements. If you give the people around you the freedom to think and feel as they will today, they, in turn, will no doubt afford you the same degree of respect.
When we allow our principles to speak for themselves, we never feel obligated to participate in debates or disagreements where values are the disputed topic. What is important to us is that we are living in accordance with our beliefs and ideals, which means that we are less concerned with how others choose to live their lives. Though people in our personal and professional spheres may try to engage us in discussions meant to sway us toward their way of viewing the world, our typical response will be one of curious interest. Because we feel no compunction to prove the validity of our own values, we have little trouble listening politely as others outline their opinions with regard to philosophical matters. You will feel less driven to defend your ideals today when you are focused on abiding by those ideals.

nanoloop Updated!
Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 10:00AM by Tim Webb
The grand daddy of audio apps, nanoloop, originated on the Nintendo Gameboy but it is still seeing updates on iOS! This update adds new file management and sharing options.
What's new:
- Send and receive .nan as email attachments
The "send" function now sends .nan files as actual attachments. Files can be handled like any other attachment, they can be saved on a PC and also be opened in the Android version and vice versa. This feature is only available on iOS 3.2 or higher. On older versions, you can still send files URL-encoded.
- Open .nan files anywhere
Nanoloop is added to the "open in" dialog. When you open a .nan file in Safari, Mail, Dropbox or any other app that can present an "open in" dialog, nanoloop starts and imports the file.
- Share .nan files with Dropbox and others
If file sharing apps like Dropbox are installed, there is a "share" function that allows to open .nan files in compatible apps.
- Share WAV Exports
If compatible apps are installed, an "open in" menu will appear after WAV export, allowing to open the exported file in any app that can open WAV files.
Buy nanoloop on iTunes: $2.99 (iPhone)
nanoloop is a pretty impressive little package; offering synthesis, sequencing, and sampling! Here is a demo of the FM Synth.

The Therapeutic Management of Psychological Diseases is a practical work about the theory and practice of supportive psychotherapy. That is, the care of patients with conditions "that require support, rehabilitation, and palliation which relieves suf fering, prevents complications, and allows the patient to function at or near capacity." Treatment is directed to the patients' behavior, and oriented toward reality and practical action.
Although written for psychiatrists, the authors recognize that supportive care is not limited exclusively to psychiatrists. They have included methods of aiding various community sources of support (other physicians, priests, social workers, etc) in planning supportive care. They have written their book in a manner which can be easily understood; it is free-flowing and unencumbered by theoretical rhetoric.
Primarily, the book deals with the treatment of the chronic schizophrenic; however, the authors suggest that the same techniques may well

International Migration of Highly Skilled Workers to Japan and Germany - Current Models and Future Outlooks
International Symposium at the Chamber of Commerce, Hamburg (in English Language) 15/16 December 2011
Japan and Germany are both countries facing increasing economic competition from the newly industrializing countries. Moreover, both Japan and Germany are rapidly aging societies, which due to a decline in working age population will face severe labor shortages in the all too near future. In order to keep their positions as two of the world's leading economies, they need to focus on training highly skilled personnel to match the economic structural change. Efforts in both countries to invite highly skilled migrants or to engage in advanced vocational training of migrants already residing in the country have either been few or of little success.
Questions in this realm, which need to be discussed more thoroughly and are thus raised in this symposium include the following: Which criteria do governments set for desired migration, and how do they aim at implementing these criteria? Which other actors (business federations, labor unions, nongovernmental organizations) influence the shaping of immigration - and integration - policies? How does immigration change the societal structure of the receiving countries, and how can these changes be addressed coherently? The symposium aims at contributing to the ongoing discourse on how to achieve well-directed immigration to industrialized nations.
December 15-16, Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, Adolphsplatz 1, 20457 Hamburg

Osteopaths are regularly challenged by insurance companies, MDs and other healthcare professionals for not having any scientific research to back up osteopathic medicine. At the same time there is a lot of interesting research done all over the world that is relevant to osteopathy but hardly known.
In addition to this professional research work done by osteopaths and other medical practitioners many osteopathic students write a diploma thesis or Master thesis to finish their studies.
These theses - some of which are high quality work - are presented to a jury and a small audience, but after they have been accepted they are usually neither published nor easily accessible for osteopaths from outside of the respective school.
Our project's goal is to connect those two: The references and abstracts of osteopathic research projects are submitted to a database that is accessible via internet from all over the world for free, presenting osteopathic research not just to the osteopathic community but also to the interested public.
Osteopaths who are interested in the details of a specific research paper from our database could then mail-order a printed version from the respective university or school. Alternatively the full-text articles are sometimes made available as PDF.

Symposium for the 55th International Congress of Americanists
12-17 July 2015, San Salvador, El Salvador
The historiography of postcolonial Latin America is dominated by a teleological narrative that stresses the inevitability of modern, territorially-bounded, nation-states. Overlooked in this narrative that tends to combine elite-backed nation building with bottom up projects aimed at citizenship formation and integration into national-popular states, are alternative counter-power traditions and movements. To wit: anarchist and 'anarchistic' anti-authoritarian epistemologies and social experiments envisioned alternative historical trajectories, governmentalities, spatialities, and social relations. This symposium seeks to analyze how anarchist and 'anarchistic' anti-authoritarian movements envisioned an alternative to the rise of the national-popular state and how their histories allow for the construction of an alternative narrative to postcolonial Latin American history.
Possible paper topics might address:
-The confluence of anti-authoritarian and anarchist traditions
-Regional and transnational anarchist networks
-Anarchist inflected subaltern emancipatory and anti-statist movements
-Alternative experiments in local self-governance or decentralized federative schemes
-Alternative anarchist spatialities
-Anti-hierarchical, anti-patriarchal, anti-racist traditions and egalitarian social movements
Submit paper abstracts (max 500 words, 5 key words), title, institutional affiliation, and email address to Coordinators:

A new study by Aviva, the UK's largest insurance group, has found that 8 in 10 people turn to friends, family and the internet for financial advice. But what about consulting the professionals?
You respect your friends' and family's points of view, and some of them are never short of an opinion. But should you rely on them for financial advice?
Most people do, according to Aviva. A study conducted by the insurance group found that 83% of all consumers go to friends, family and the internet when seeking financial advice.
One of the major factors which determined consumers' attitude towards financial advice was their age, with younger people relying more on informal advice and the internet and older consumers more likely to seek out professional help.
The research found that 70% of 18-24 year olds go to friends and family for financial advice, while for the over-65s that number dropped to just 24%.
More than half (52%) of 18-24 year olds use the internet to find financial advice, compared to only 23% of over-65s. But 28% of the latter group seek help from an independent financial advisor (IFA), with only 9% of the younger age group doing the same.
Overall, just 1 in 5 said they would go first to an IFA, leading Aviva to conclude that there was a general lack of understanding about what IFAs did, and what they could advise on.
The majority of respondents correctly said that IFAs offered a range of advice from investment and savings to to mortgages and insurance, but weren't aware that they could do more.
Only a quarter said they believed IFAs could help with managing debt and 15% identified that they could also help with broad financial planning.
Moneyhighstreet says: "A lack of consumer awareness about the benefits of IFAs could be preventing many consumers getting the financial advice they need – especially when it comes to managing their debts in tough financial times.
"If using an IFA is a daunting prospect or beyond your budget, sound financial advice can also be found online.
"Our own website is a good place to start. Our articles cover a range of personal finance topics from debt help right through to high net worth home insurance, giving you great tips to make the most of your finances."

Paris Hilton may have lost her "bid" to become president, but she couldn't be happier for the President-elect Barack Obama.
"The best man won," she told PEOPLE at the premiere of her new movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera in Las Vegas. "I'm so thrilled. I love Barack and I think he's amazing."
Hilton was suddenly thrust into the political arena when then-presidential-hopeful John McCain put out an ad comparing her to Obama. She later recorded a series of spoof videos – even launching her own bid to become "fake president." (Her first order of business would have been to paint the White House pink, she said in one clip.)
"The world is definitely a better place now," she said of the election results. "There's a lot of change and a lot of hope coming. That's a very good thing."

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Review
Your Comments
28 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
The previous model was good (I own one)and this one is better. I would love to buy it but the camera and controls are too small and fidgety, like it was made for a child's hands. Where does a man go to buy a compact camera?
I would really put in use those 32 gb !
I often look forward to Photography Blog reviews, but the lack of any high ISO sample shots makes this review useless. What were you thinking?
The IQ still isn't on par with the Coolpix A, which, to me, is the best compact camera that (any) money can buy.
Paul, you're right. I miss also the various ISO ranges and do not want to see a bunch of photos with the same motives, Range and ISO. But I like the raw files for real comparisons
cool… looking forward to buy it. Thanks
I got myself one of these on pre-order (http://www.squidoo.com/sony-rx100m-ii-and-sony-rx1r-price-and-review - although of course now you can buy them!) and it is phenomenal. I'm with WMU - I too like the raw files for comparison… but I found a really great rundown of the cameras on the release video with Olivia Esperanza on the site above, and it was pretty helpful.
Your review product specs for the Sony RX100II is showing the same dimensions as for the Sony RX100. Surely this is incorrect, bearing in mind the added tilting sceen etc?
Love this camera, although I find it a little small. Here's a telling image (and feature comparison) of this camera side by side with the Canon G1X (bulkiest) and the Fuji X20 (mid sized): http://savvyreviewer.com/sony-rx100ii-vs-canon-g1x-vs-fujifilm-x20
Just bought this camera, can say i am most happy with it. Low light performance is excellent. If anyone has any questions just ask me and i will try to answer them.
What does clear image zoom mean? optical and digital?
Im really pleased with my RX100II. Had an NEX-5 previously but found that a bit inconvenient size wise. One of the best things I've found with the RX100II is using the Electronic Viewfinder which makes it feel like a 'proper' camera. Its a bit expensive but makes a massive difference when composing an image.
Clear image zoom uses a clever interpolation algorithm to gives good results (between optical and digital zoom quality) for a limited range of zoom beyond the purely optical zoom.
I am considering to get either the Sony RX100II or the Olympus Stylus 1. Any suggestions?
Is this camera enabled for wifi direct? I tried connecting it to Bravia TV using wifi direct but was not successful. Can anyone share their experience on this issue?
Just got one of these after reading the reviews. Surprisingly small and v solid. Photos look great, I paid £ 385 from a site called value basket. Very happy with it so far.
video question,
any recommendation to get the very best video out of this camera, should i shoot avchd and then con vert to mp4 or shoot direct mp4 for maximum quality. I know avchd get the max quality but it won't play on my tv.
1. LCD Monitor was dark;
at indoor, if monitor brightness set in level 0;
is too dark; it's hard too see detail that we
will take.
So we must set in level 2 (max); and it"s okay.
And now;
when we will take in Daylight Outdoor;
and the Dirrect Sunlight: we can"t set up the mo
nitor again, because level 2 is max level.
2. Sony RX.100 didn't have good shuter push button.
We hard to hold the half press; to make focus
lock. Suddenly they was shot as we didn't want it.
It's too soo short and inconsistenly push button
I didn't understand why Sony RX.100 used non qua
lified importat part in his expensive premium
product. ? ?
2. Sony RX.100 m2 used non qualified shutter push
button switch.
We hard to hold to make half press for focus
locking. They often shutted as we didn't want it.
Too short and consistently shuter push button
so we can'comfort to lock focus.
it need extra consentration.
I didn't understand why Sony used non qualified
pushbutton switch for this
Expensive and Premium Product ? ?
2. Sony RX.100 M2 used non qualified shuter push
push button.
3. 5.cm minimum distance for MACRO mode.
nothing to do with 5.cm min distance for MACRO.
2.cm is minimum distace for ideal MACRO.
This camera was lost for this purpose for the
Multi purpose Premium Compact Camera.
4. Non 'CLICK' , non RATHETING Lens RING DIAL.
It's need more twisty angle to turn the ring
It's very not comfort.
We lost camera grip control, cause too much
twisty hand to turn Ring Lens Dial.
Keep in mind the poor build quality of the Sony DSC product line! Semi pro functionality doesn't mean good construction quality. The semi pro cameras by Canon/Nikon last way much longer. My Sony DSC-RX100 had an issue with the control wheel after only 18 months of use and Sony refuses to repair it within warranty. My other Sony DSC also had issues with the buttons.
I have the olympue e-pm2 and this one.
I love the macro here much better and there are much fewer lens distortions.
In general (though you can hear some bad reviews here in the comments) I am very glad with the purchase.
Currently it is on a sale with a bag and 32GB Ultra sd for $399(refurb). I paid for it originally around the $600 (without the card and bag).
link to deal:
Changed my Canon G9x for this one. No comparison about the optics, definitely superior ! Night pics and videos much better, a real killer…

SOME PEOPLE DREAD turning 40 if they've got nothing but wrinkles to show for it.
The same might be said for advocacy operations facing that milestone anniversary. Longevity is great, but it's even better if the organization has managed to transform the cause that stirred it to life in the first place.
So it is with Women Organized Against Rape on the eve of its 40th birthday. Its advocacy has so changed the way victims of sexual violence are treated by law enforcement, the courts and the medical establishment, it's a shock to realize what life was like for victims before WOAR roared into existence in 1973.

Master contract doesn't cover performers
The technical wizardry that brings characters in blockbusters like "Avatar" and the new "Alice in Wonderland" to life has brought a new source of labor dispute to Hollywood: Are these genuine acting performances, or something else altogether?
At issue is what is called "performance capture," aka "motion capture" or simply "mocap" in common lingo, in which non-star actors wear bodysuits that track their every movement digitally so that fantastical, otherworldly character features can be overlaid onscreen.
The technology has been deployed in an array of movies, ranging from "Titanic" back in 1997 to, more recently, "The Polar Express," "300," "Beowulf" and "A Christmas Carol," and its proliferation has raised enough concern from the Screen Actors Guild that it formed a national Performance Capture Committee to address the "unique concerns and experiences of members who render performances that are recorded using 'performance capture' technology across all media, and to advise the guild on all matters pertaining to work in this rapidly growing area."
Woody Schultz, who did such work in "Avatar," "Beowulf," "The Adventures of Tintin" and "The Polar Express," was appointed chairman of the panel on Feb. 22.
Schultz, who played a technician, an avatar and several Na'vi roles in "Avatar," is a strong advocate of getting the word out that even though the work's done differently, it's still acting.
"One of the goals for the committee will be to eradicate some myths surrounding performance capture; the idea that this technology will somehow replace actors couldn't be further from the truth," says Schultz. "In fact, it not only preserves every nuance of the rich and complex character an actor creates, it is completely reliant on that performance to drive the process"
But the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers doesn't recognize such work as being covered by the guild's master contract, meaning that employers get to call the shots regarding the terms and conditions for thesps who do performance capture work.
When SAG has raised the performance-capture issue in past contract negotiations — the first time a dozen years ago around the time when James Cameron was touting the small bits of digital thesping in "Titanic" — companies have responded during negotiations by asserting that mocap is a "non-mandatory" subject of bargaining and not open to negotiation.
SAG has jurisdiction over actors in most major films, but thesps have expressed concerns in recent years over the dearth of specific language in the master contract over how motion-capture performances are covered, such as whether the stunt, background or dance provisions apply.
And hammering out specifics in the SAG master contract, so that there's consistency in how actors are employed, would probably go a long way toward making it clear to both sides — actors and employers — that the performance-capture work is definitively acting and not just a computer creation.
Though the number of thesps working in mocap is still relatively small, the AMPTP is loath to make a concession on any area of jurisdiction, because it sets a precedent that is generally irreversible. That scenario played out during the WGA strike of 2007-08 when writers kept demands for jurisdiction over animation and reality on the table for nearly three months before relenting a few weeks before the strike ended.
SAG is scheduled to launch seven weeks of negotiations on its feature-primetime contract with the AMPTP on Oct. 1. That means the guild's mandated "wages and working conditions" process will likely begin in the late spring or early summer.
SAG and the AMPTP didn't respond to questions about whether performance capture will be part of the upcoming negotiations. For now, SAG execs are insisting that the new committee has been established as a response to the burgeoning amount of work along with the need to remind Hollywood that SAG actors are acting.
"The performance capture committee gives us a great opportunity to hear from members about this important and growing area of work and to educate and inform them as well," says Ray Rodriguez, SAG's deputy national exec director for contracts. "It's also a chance to reinforce the fact that actors bring an intrinsic and recognizable value to all productions."
SAG began working on the performance capture area a dozen years ago, when it first told the Alliance of Motion Pictures & Television Producers the work should be covered by SAG's master contract. The AMPTP disagreed.
That led to SAG's new technologies committee issuing an almost prescient report in 1999, which, according to an issue of the SAG Actor magazine from that year, asserted that "performance capture can be a continuing source of potential employment for guild members, and SAG should fully establish itself in this area as the field grows and develops."

MOBILE, Alabama -- Police arrested two men over the weekend and charged them with robbing a man as he left a store, officials said today in a news release.
Nicholas Irby, 20, and Kevin Hunter, 18, were arrested Sunday and charged with first-degree robbery, police said.
Police were called about 10 p.m. Sunday to Englewood and Linwood drives. The victim told officers that as he left a store, four men -- at least one armed with a gun -- walked up behind him and robbed him. The robbers ran, heading east on Englewood Drive.
A short time later, an officer saw four men who matched the robbers' descriptions walking on
Dauphin Island Parkway at Delta Street. The officer stopped all four.
Irby and Hunter were taken to Mobile County Metro Jail.

A pair of College of the Canyons freshmen, Tim White and Anthony Fowler, are headed to the U.S. Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships this week in Des Moines, Iowa.
White, a Hart High graduate, will compete in the triple jump while Fowler is running in the 400 meters.
Both qualified after stellar performances in their respective events this season at the California Community College Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 18.
At that event, White won a state title in the triple jump with a leap of 51 feet, 3.5 inches while Fowler finished eighth in the 400 in 48.97 seconds.
Earlier in the season, Fowler had set a school record in the event with a time of 47.49 seconds.
The two athletes are eligible for the Junior championships because neither will turn 20 in 2013.
Previous COC athletes to compete at the Junior National meet include runner Chris Low and decathlete Justin Skinner.
White is scheduled to compete at 9:45 a.m. Pacific Time on Thursday and Fowler will run in the 400 prelim at 12:15 p.m. on Friday. If Fowler advances to the finals, he'll race at 11:54 a.m. on Saturday.
The Junior Nationals will serve as the selection meet for 2013 Pan American Junior Championships, to be held from August 23-25 in Medellin, Colombia.
In addition to the Junior Nationals, the 2013 U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships will be going on at the same location this week. The Master's College's John Gilbertson will compete in the 10,000-meter race of that meet, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday.

The X.509 standard allows it -- see rfc3820. You can put arbitrarily
many email addresses in a subject alternative name (where email
addresses are supposed to go). However, some products will not look

is Yes, but I have not tested it.

Fingers and toes tend to freeze easily during deer season in Alberta. There's usually a foot of snow by mid November and temperatures are around -20 Celsius. This year was a bit different. I have been hunting whitetails by Edmonton Alberta in mostly tree stands, and I have a trail camera set up and have seen some small bucks and lots of does. This tends to be a good sign, because where there are does there will be bucks close behind! We have only a few inches of snow on the ground and it has been pleasantly warm for sitting in the stand until the sun goes down. This kind of weather makes it hard to get a good stalk on crunchy leaves so my stand is pretty handy.
Besides the whitetail hunting I'm extremely excited because this year I drew a Mule deer tag in southern Alberta! I have put in a specific zone for over five years now and it's finally my turn to kill a big buck! I designated my dad to be my super guide, which is usually my first choice. We have been on many hunts together and have been very successful as a team. The drive to my hunting zone is four hours from where I live, and we stayed at a bed and breakfast where the cook made homemade meals hot and ready when you want them. This is a bonus, because I was able to get an extra bit of shut eye! It was the end of November and the forecast for the weekend was -30 and close to 30 inches of snow. I decided I had one good day of hunting and since the hunting days are Wednesday to Saturday so I better make it worth while! We left camp around 7am on Wednesday morning , the sun was coming up later and later, so that was the perfect time to head out. After seeing around twenty bucks and over fifty does in eight hours I set my eyes on one specific old boy. He seemed to be quite the stud, since he had four does bedded around him. He was laying on a rock pile like a sheep. After making a game plan we decided to sneak up a coulee and make a stalk. One chest shot later I had my big mule deer! I was lucky enough to get a shot at this great buck the first day, because that night it started to snow and didn't quit for three days! Lots of hunters were out hunting and hadn't shot their bucks before the storm, I guess they just didn't know what a good stalk was!

Though my personal experience with our antiquated non-cohabitation law is no where near as devastating as some of my close friends, those who have lost custody of their children all together, it has still instilled a fear within me that I never knew could exist.
Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons in Arkansas with children from previous relationships, as of now, are in a lose, lose situation, completely.
Thrilled doesn't even begin to describe how Michelle and I felt when we got news that a circuit court judge in Little Rock struck down Act 1.
We've thus learned that it will be appealed; however even if it is declared unconstitutional by our Supreme Court and children are allowed to be adopted/fostered by co-habitating couples, there is nothing guaranteeing (even with the legal precedent being set) my friends and I will be protected or our families fully restored because situations such as ours, at this time, have no caveat.
What makes this even worse is, generally speaking, the great majority of us, cannot afford to fight for our kids because of the insane legal costs. And if you have a particularly angry, bitter and vindictive 3rd party taking you to court at every turn, you're sunk.
In Arkansas the legal statute states that no person, gay or straight, can co-habitate with anyone that they are intimately involved with currently or EVER, in the presence of minor children.
So, if a 3rd party (for me it was my ex-husband) chooses to take you to court, you must choose between keeping your children, or sustaining a relationship.
Now…if you're straight, this isn't such an issue, you can get married and poof, you're fine. But like us (and so many others in our circle of friends), we can't legally marry our partners in Arkansas, nor can you marry in a state where same sex marriage is legal, come home and have it recognized. You are FORCED to choose.
As of today, I've been taken to court by my ex-husband two times in the attempt to change our custody agreement for our two children (6 & 12) from joint to giving him full custody. After the first time, I was given the option to have my partner of 2 years, Michelle, the most amazing, selfless and kind woman, who loves my kids as her own, either move out of our home, in less than a week, or lose my children.
The next day we had to rent the home across the street from our home, literally to give her a place to reside from 10pm-6am, the 2 weeks a month Ethan and Elizabeth are with us. She must leave our family each night, and return the following morning to have breakfast with us, and get everyone out the door.
This law is not only incredibly cruel, but damages so many children by making them believe that our families are not equal to others. My sincerest hope by all of us standing up and speaking out is that attention grows and with that change will come.
With Act 1 being overturned, I finally have hope for the first time in a long time…but we still have a long road ahead of us. I GIVE A DAMN and will do whatever I must to further the fight for complete equality.

Space and Place in British Columbia, April 30-May 2 2009
We invite scholars in all disciplines to explore how space and place, broadly defined, have been conceived and experienced in British Columbia. We encourage panels and papers with diverse approaches to this theme, including: divisions and relationships between private and public spaces; the expropriation and development of space and place; the political contestation and designation of space and place; the movement of people across space (and among places); the representation and imagination of space and place; and the theoretical delineation of space and place. Proposals for papers or panels that place British Columbia within transnational or comparative contexts are welcome.
Deadline for Proposals: September 15, 2008.
Individual paper and panel proposals will be considered. Individual papers should include an abstract (250 words maximum) and one page curriculum vitae. Panel proposals should include a short description (250 words) of the theme for the session, as well as abstracts for each paper and one page curriculum vitae for each participant. While we strongly encourage panel proposals, the committee reserves the right to rearrange panels.
In addition to standard panels, the conference will be organizing several sessions with pre-circulated papers. For these sessions, the papers will be available in advance on the conference website. Rather than beginning with presentations by the authors, these sessions will start with a discussant's critique of each paper. At the end of this presentation, the authors will be given a chance to respond. Questions and comments from the audience will follow. Members of the audience at these sessions are strongly encouraged to read the pre-circulated papers. Numbers for this format will be limited, so if you would like your paper or panel to be considered for a session of this kind, please indicate this at the top of your abstract.
Correspondence may be in either English or French.
Proposals can be submitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to:
