Identifying Bodies and Bodily Inequalities in an Inequal World
Program Coordinator

The question of embodiment is thus not simply a theoretical problem, but a problem that has emerged for strictly historical reasons. This also means, howewer, that while a certain historical necessity has led the body to require attention in a great variety of disciplines, the body simultaneously remains obscure, and for precisely the same reason, insofar as our ways of addressing it remains attached to forms of thought that are inadequate to the very phenomenon they seek to address. This is what it means to speak of the "epoch of the body": if we take seriously the historical necessity of the contemporary interest in the body, and not simply dismiss it as a fashion, we would have to regard it not only as an enigma that poses a conceptual challenge, but also as an epochal matter – a problem that arises from within the history of our thought, as a rupture within that history. Despite a growing number of reflections about the body, there currently exist, indeed, no complete works based on the sense and associative functions of corporeality as an "entity" located within space and time, particularly in the dominion of social sciences and, more specifically, in the field of sociology. According to Shilling (2008: 7)[1] "our very ability to intervene in social life is dependent on the management of our bodies through time and space".
It is, therefore, not a question of reconstructing the history of the body and its conceptualization, nor of revisiting the paradigms through which the body has been contemplated. This is graphically illustrated in post-structuralist thought, although Foucault put great emphasis on the role of the body in the construction of thought and social action. Nevertheless, the mainstream of post-structuralist theories views bodies as reconfigured, fluid, multiple, and dispersed. The impact of physical mobility on contemporary cultural logic is such that sociological research is becoming more focused on analytical paradigms to make mobility the fundamental paradigm of our daily lives.
This return to relevance of spatiality, in the physical world and in the offline world is nevertheless not a return to space in the sense of how we have understood it up to now: a mere container of individuals, objects and events. As Dourish and Bell (2011)[2] highlighted, also in light of the digitalization of the omnipresent web, the re-emergence of spatiality, starting from diverse disciplinary dominions (geography, sociology, architecture, economy, art, urban informatics, to name a few), is configured as "transduced space"[3]), or in other words constructed and initiated continuously and socially by networks and new digital realities emerging at the intersection of mobility, geo-sociality and increased reality. Within the aforesaid scenario in movement the concrete problem of defining the space of action, as a fundamental integrated element, defined by the interaction between sensorial-motor activity and the experience of the body in a situation and the mobile connection produced by specific technologies, is evident. Therefore, to determine the boundary between the social sensorium[4] and mobile technologies is the fundamental metho-dological problem, still unresolved, arising from the current "spatial turn"[5].
There is a growing view in cognitive neuroscience that embodiment is a reflection of grounded cognition. This is a theoretical and empirical view that conceptual knowledge is divisible into domains, and these domains are in large part determined by partially separable brain networks. Any one network is the location for information encoding, memory storage, retrieval and mental manipulation. For example, brain areas that are used to manipulate a tool are the same that are used to know what a tool is, to remember tools in general, to plan new actions and to learn about new tools. The same applies for social networks, non-tool objects and so on. This has implications in that it says there are different categories of knowledge that embody the world in different ways. There is not one unique neural embodiment "system" or process. The interpretation of brain scans and what information is actually contained in the information images create their own reality about mind-brain connections.
The notion of the "sensory inscribed body"[6], emerging from current digital media research, presents the body as a relatively "free form"[7] availing itself of a range of narratives generated from electronic scans in order to participate fully in a "networked society." The interpretation of digital scans by the press and non-scientists is, indeed, a relatively "free form," with all sorts of narratives generated from the new media. It is really the body a "free form"? We need to identifying corporeality as the total of sensory-motor abilities that permit the body to interact successfully with the environment that surrounds it. The exact ways in which the activation profiles are "connected" constitutes a central problem for scientists who study brain, mind and society. One may ask how simultaneously activated processes are bound to one another to generate a continuity of experience. As in all living organisms, the human body is organized according to a specific temporal structure, where all of the vital functions demonstrate variability over periods of time that range from a few milliseconds to several months. In human beings, just as in less cognitively sophisticated organisms, the frequencies of many biological rhythms relate to periodic stimuli from the external environment, while many others are determined by internal pacemakers, totally independent of environmental input. But the external influences are not simply overlapped by the rhythms dictated by endogenous pacemakers, but are in fact modulated by them.
In relation to time, the variability of the physiological condition also implies a diverse "susceptibility" of the human body to disease. Even so, pathogenic mechanisms may not be constant over time, either in terms of their presence or severity, so determining a variability over time of their suitability to produce clinical manifestations of disease. Our sensory apparatus has evolved by relying on the environment in different ways: for example, taking advantage of contingent facts relative to the structure of natural scenarios (Ullman and Richards, 1984: 21)[8] or of the computational shortcuts produced by body movements and locomotion (Blake and Yuille 1992)[9] . Once the fundamental role of the environment as pertains to evolution and the development of cognition is acknowledged, extended cognition becomes a true cognitive process. Entering into this process, the rhythmic body becomes the central point of intersection between time, action and context. How is the passage of time fixed, how are the significant benchmarks "domesticated," how are the most important memories marked? In anthropological and ethnographical repertoires, the history of archaic humanity gives extensive and significant answers to these questions. According to Descola (2005: 57)[10] , the rhythmic body constitutes, indeed,
the difference that separates the modern Western World from from all the populations of the present and the past, which have not considered it necessary to proceed with naturalization of the world.

Bodily Power at Work in Everyday PracticesSession Organizer
Itsuhiro HAZAMA, University of Nagasaki, Japan, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This session aims to generate a dialogue that goes beyond the traditional glamorized body to reexamine the processes by which life practice opens the possibilities of the body in a particular time and place. Approaches to experiences of pain and suffering have focused on the phenomenological body as the basis for the generation of meaning in contexts of political violence and societal marginalization. For example, such approaches have revealed that the body in pain unmakes the world. They go beyond the dichotomy of nature and culture to describe the pre-verbal body`s capability of expression, but not its political or social power.
The nature-culture dichotomy supplies methods for rescuing the body from physical predicaments. For example, perceived somatic disorders in traditional settings, in which the body has been idealized as a micro-cosmos constituting a perfectly ordered culture and society, have been considered to be resolved by the restoration of order through activities such as healing rituals. Customary procedures for the reintegration of bodies into a community's intrinsic "culture" are believed to stop bodies from belonging to the "natural" world, thereby preventing them from excluding, utilizing, or conflicting with each other.
However, research in the social sciences has not fully examined the body in actual societal experience or bodily dynamism in coexistence with others. In contemporary life practices, highly mobile people or those experiencing drastic societal change make various efforts to ensure the continuity of life, such as by making the best use of cross-border movements of people, goods, and worldviews based on "here and now" interactions involving a physical body. Not only must the body be reshaped into a canonical figure within a fixed social institution through traditional practices but body experience must also be imagined and created by way of bricolage, the assembly of pieces to make something new.
This session addresses the issues of the body's power of semantic generation and the political and social effects of this generation by clarifying the processes by which a common body is made through the reading and transmitting of macrosocial dynamics, with reference to coping practice and the use of logic in a manner that is sensitive to local and differential contexts. The approach of this session enables theoretical and empirical examination, helping to cultivate fieldwork-based research.
The session explores the possibilities of the body in life practice by suggesting the following investigation areas: the invention of a new meta-ethnic identity through communicative musicality, the acquisition of a body searching for peace by citizens in a conflict-ridden society, the resonance of patients' voices among caretakers, a new form of vitality in medical expertise, and the modification of bodily movements for self-commoditization to produce an ethnic culture.
Challenges and Trends in Sociology of TimeSession Organizer
Marian PREDA, University of Bucharest, Romania, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Time is a determinant agent of life, one we do not feel, as it strains along with us. Because time is not irreversible, it is our destiny, the stable and intangible component of life.
Treating the irreversibility of time as the base of the Universe expansion, S. Hawking1 (1988/ 2001) analyzes time interdependent with space, as they curve in the movement process of an object. G. Bachelard2 (1958/ 1969) sees the space as the quality component of time, while Einstein places time in a reference system. Being coordinated by this intangible variable of life, the time, could we manage to have control over our daily actions? Time is also the base of social order.
No matter the society we live in, we can all schedule and manage our daily activities guided by time. While antique societies treated time as an agent in the process of mentality, body, nature and social life change, contemporary societies discuss time through measurement, coordination and control. Which is the first gesture we do when we wake up? 'Placing' ourselves in a chronologic time could be the foundation of social order? Every form of life responds to the cosmic time (B. Adam3, 1990).
Time is not just a measurement unit of the surviving process, but also a biorhythm unit. People have adjusted even to the rhythms imposed by the society, for a better coordination and organization, by creating different measurement units like the clock, the week, the month, the year. So the industrialized societies are characterized by the budgeted human time.
Through the last decades, Sociology has shown interest in studying time budgets.We must not understand time only related to the measurement instruments, but also from a social perspective, as regulator of norms, values and social control. Could time be the fundamental element of social change? Could technological innovations be an important agent of temporality? Quantum leaps, life prolongation, could they be a result of progress?
Dancing Bodies: Accessing Implicit MemoriesSession Organizer
Dulce FILGUEIRA DE ALMEIDA, University of Brasilia, Brazil, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
One of the most traditional forms of body language is dancing. In the so-called traditional societies, it complies aspects that refer to ritual systems, corroborating the formation of social interaction processes based on their rites.
In different cultures (indigenous, African and aboriginal), dancing allows understanding the interfaces between sacred and profane, revealing culture patterns and the ethos of each ethnic or social group. In this context, by means of the relation sacred/profane present in a dance, senses and meanings expressed by the experienced body of the social actor can also be established. Here, the notion of experienced body has the sense of corporeality (embodiment) as its background. It refers to what is culturally learned in terms of the perception that the social actors develop in their schemes of experiences of the social world and it is socially produced by means of the social practices that constitute the habitus.
The aim of this session of the RC54 is to understand the embodiment in action (the movement) and, specifically, is working up to the body practice experienced – through the dance ‒, that is build based on a set of body techniques, thus conforming a body education ‒ we can identify, record and interpret cultural, social and symbolic traces.
Therefore, a dance is a privileged form of accessing implicit memories. In this way, we encourage papers with methodological perspectives in sociological theory, especially in phenomenological approach.
Design, Undesign and Redesign: Eliminating Embodied InequalitySession Organizers
Stephen GILSON, University of Maine, USA, email@example.com
Liz DEPOY, University of Maine, USA, email@example.com
Session in English
Over the past several decades, design and branding efforts for social justice and democracy have exponentially increased. Designers have apprehended and applied market strategies to create products and images to change the world. However, to date, design and branding have not been analyzed to understand and reassign their power in creating, labeling, and affixing differential worth to bodies that are disenfranchised because they are atypical, unruly alters.
This vacuum leaves a huge gap in intellectual development and guidance necessary to harness design and image to challenge and diminish social inequities that have prevented local through global social acceptance for the full range of bodies. In this presentation, we argue, and illustrate through a targeted analysis of embodied design, its epistemic and axiological foundations and its praxis that design and branding are tacit yet powerful influences on the creation, reification, and perpetuation of the acceptable human corpus and its opposite.
We illustrate how design and its byproducts in advanced capitalist global, national and local environments are significant social influences on determining and reifying embodied worth, internalized and assigned identity of category members, social status, and comparative flourishing of members of diverse social groups.
Given this understanding, we conclude with the constructs of undesign and redesign as the power tools to advance symmetry, inclusivity, and equality for diverse bodies.
Embodiment in Digital Society. New Perspectives in Social TimeSession Organizer
Bianca Maria PIRANI, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
According to the current digital media research, the body is a relatively "free form" availing itself of a range of narratives generated from electronic scans in order to participate fully in a "networked society". The twentieth century saw art move from the canvas to the computer. Digital technology earned the status of paint, plaster, and pencil and became a mode of artistic expression. Since its birth, the digital arts have become a major influence in the art world and society as a whole. Graphic design and computer gaming are the two most common forms of digital art that have captured the attention of people in and outside of the artistic community. Computational creations often emulate real-world objects; for example the digital keyboard mimics the wood and ivory piano.
Penny wondered how society can influence the evolution of an artistic expression that bases itself on the manipulation of behavior. Nevertheless, there is another way of observing the current technological shift – a way that makes us wonder whether this shift might not be interfering with, the biological, physical and social inborn clocks –with their own rhythms that manage our biologically experienced time.
Once the fundamental role of the environment as it pertains to evolution and the development of cognition is acknowledged, extended cognition becomes a true cognitive process. Entering into this process, the rhythmic body becomes the central point of intersection between time, action and context. How is the passage of time fixed, how are the significant benchmarks "domesticated," how are important memories recorded? In anthropological and ethnographical repertoires, the history of archaic humanity gives extensive and significant answers to these questions. This Session aims at focussing on the ways in which biologically experienced time in a technologically shrinking world interacts with cultural traditions, with social systems, with social innovations, with new technology, with embodied memory, and with human dyadic and community bonds: i.e., on the elementary communication of people.
Theoretical as well as empirical presentations are encouraged , especially those relating to micro-interactional research on the sociology of embodiment. In other words papers, power point presentations, and multimedia performances are most welcome.
Embodying Another SelfSession Organizer
Chan LANGARET, Université Paris Ouest, France, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Considering the multiplicity of the selves, in the material life or in the virtual life, related to the individual or to the community, according to the reality or to the fiction, we can wonder how the self is constructed. This session explores how the constitution of the self is linked to an embodied dimension. Focused on case studies in different fieldworks, with notably questions of personal conceptions and social visibility, associated to different sociological approaches, the session aims to present several analyses about the embodied dimension of various self conceptions.
Sociology and anthropology have already studied this question of embodiment, the self often counted as a unity. Following precursory Marcel Mauss`s analysis of the body (1934), we can ask the cultural dimension of the body uses and understand how this dimension can impact the construction of the self. Edward T Hall (1966) explored this cultural dimension in the way people consider distances between bodies with the concept of proxemics. David Le Breton (1990, 2002, 2011) also analyzed the link between the cultural and imaginary conception of the body and its use in creating a physical and spiritual entity defined as an embodied identity. These works help to consider, in various areas of self expression, the embodiment of the self.
Erving Goffman's analysis (1959, 1963, 1971) notably aimed to understand how the embodiment of multiple roles and identities are linked to cultural, socio-economic or professional requirements. Norbert Elias' analysis (1939, 1956, 1987) explored the Western cultural and historical production of self-control in the last centuries. He showed how individuals can follow the way of the "detachment", where the self is based on (and attached to) a rational thinking about it ; and how individuals can otherwise follow the way of the "involvement", where the self is based on (and attached to) the feeling of real experience.
This last dimension of his sociological analysis can also be linked to the notion of Flow developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1990) and opens a new field in asking the embodiment of the self by distinguishing the embodied self and the mentally considered self.
Facing Unequal Bodies. On the Construction of Social Inequality in Body ImageSession Organizers
Michael MUELLER, University of Dortmund, Germany, email@example.com
Anne SONNENMOSER, Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities, Germany, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
Bodies can be considered as pictures, but they are, as the art historian Hans Belting has stated, far more than pictures as they represent people. The philosopher Helmuth Plessner described this problem out of the perspective of the individual, who has a body which he has to be as a person, while s/he can watch at her/his body as an object. This disposition is − besides being a possibility − quite a challenge, as one cannot only work on his/her body, s/he has to. Moreover one can work on his body, but s/he cannot totally change it: So every individual has to be a body s/he cannot totally control, while the body and especially the body image is seen as a representation of the person.
To understand what a person represents with his or her body image, people can use a society's knowledge resources (pictures, sculptures, books, movies, oral discourse etc.). By providing information about the meaning of certain types of body images these knowledge resources link body images as well with social valuations, group affiliations and stereotype.
In this respect the experience, that a body image cannot be brought in consilience with social norms and expectations, is not only an individual problem, as it can be a manifestation of social inequality and discrimination routines. Moreover a society's handling of body images can give insight into the ideas of human perfectibility or non-perfectibility which underlie contemporary conceptions of man.
The proposed session focuses on empirical studies:
- which inspect situations of social interaction (e.g. selection procedures and competitions) as well as social discourses (e.g. newspapers, pictures, movies or advertising), which construct social inequality by creating body image expectations.
- which inspect the way people react on a gap between social body ideals or body image expectations and personal body images. For example: strategies of empowerment, body techniques (e.g. dieting, aesthetic surgery, sport etc.) and the way such reactions are embedded in discourses of social recognition (authenticity, upward-mobility, success etc.).
Let's Re-invent an Embodied SociologySession Organizer
Bianca Maria PIRANI, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This Session is aimed to explore how our perception of the body and body related themes such as gender, age, sexuality, disability, health and disease are influenced by cultural differences and at the same time affects our intercultural communication. Thus, it focuses on the triangle culture, body and communication through the analysis (epistemological as well as empiric) of the cultural differences anchored in the sensory-motor body.
Its ultimate goal is, therefore, to provide knowledge and experience on how social scientists and professionals can better handle cultural differences linked to the body. Empirical case studies are especially welcome.
Music on the Move: The Rhythms of Mobility and Performed Movement-SpaceSession Organizer
Shinichi AIZAWA, Chukyo University, Japan, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This session welcomes papers presenting sociological approaches to the study of music. Music is an essential part of human life and human body. Our session is not limited to only the cultural aspects of music. Rather, we comprehensively examine the relationships between music and human life or between music and human body. Music is embedded in people's lives in the form of the daily rhythm, tempo of life, sentimental moods, social collective memory, or individual preferences. Music has been important part of the sociological theorization in the daily social world.
For example, a French sociologist, Maurice Halbwachs, has drawn a connection between musical memory and collective and social memory. Other sociologists and social thinkers have attempted to theorize music, body and society, for example, Max Weber, Theodor Adorno, Pierre Bourdieu.
In this session, we aim to deepen sociological understanding of music to facilitate sociological research on musical experiences. We welcome papers, preferably providing empirical evidence, concerning the various musical experiences.Of course, we welcome papers employing not only sociological but also economic, anthropological, or psychological approaches in examining music and the human body.
RC54 Business MeetingSession Organizer
The Robot and the ForestSession Organizer
Roberto CIPRIANI, University of Roma 3, Italy, email@example.com
Session in English
Biology has been under the influence of the animal-machine metaphor. Today's reference machine is no longer a clock but a robot. Accordingly, living cells are but individual parts in charge of the smooth functioning of the robot. Now, what if the living body rather were compared to a forest? Ecosystems do not evolve under the tutelary guidance of some central programming biased by the search of a best collective interest, but rather by the search of a best collective interest of each of its individual inhabitants. That body-forest would arise not from a prefigured plan tending to a preconceived goal merely from its history. Among the many questions that such a Session many at once inspire is the following: how could emerge specialized psychosocialized functions from that organizatiion, that implicates the cooperation of multiple cell types?
Theoretical as well as empirical presentations are encouraged; especially welcome are multimedia performances.
The Sensory Inscribed BodySession Organizer
Anabela PEREIRA, University Institute of Lisbon, Portugal, email@example.com
Session in English
Embodied experience is a fundamental concept for understanding culture as cognitive construction (communication, learning, and identity). Culture structures the sensory experience in specific ways so that we give sense, worth, and feelaccording with relational spaces (Bennett &Castiglioni, 2004). In current information time enclosed by all technological shifts, and by the logic of a fully "networked society" this raises the question of the construction of our culturaltech identities, and embodied computer-generated expe-rience,concerning the extension of"physical move ment"through"electronic communications".How conscious are we of the process? How perceptional are we of itsinscription in our bodies?
Integrating tech (embodied) cultural identity means dealing with the dynamics of this process involving the mobile connectivity (and disconnection),innovatively across a variety of cyber-devices and integrated places. It involves the opening of our space of perceptiontowards a "sensory inscribed body" mirrored on different "narratives generated from electronic scans making it our own experience" (Pirani, 2013:39). Grounding between mobility and immobility, itrequires examining the interdependencies and changes in "physical movement" and in "electronic communications", with the increasing focus on the "social sensorium"(ibid.).
The aim of this session is to evaluate how people connect and built new forms of identification,and embodiment,withinthe expanding of physical experiences, and individual (and collective) sense of time,inthis "movement-space".The session holds this theme incorporatingnetworkedmobile experiences into one's praxis of living, comprising bodily interactions mediated by technological networks, applications,and devices.

Chief Rabbi: Stop Ingesting Pesticides to Avoid Bugs
Latest update: November 9th, 2012
Israel's Sephardi Chief Rabbi, Rav Shlomo Moshe Amar, is stepping up his campaign against 'bug-free' vegetables.
He previously called on the public, in an elaborated ruling, to use leafy vegetables that hadn't been treated with pesticides and to thoroughly clean them at home "like in the good old days." Now, the Rabbinate has made public its intention to make the criteria even tougher, and in extraordinary cases even to remove kashrut certification from stores marketing vegetables with high level of pesticides
A letter issued by the Kashrut department of the Chief Rabbinate, describes "serious incidences where some of the supervised, 'bug-free,' leafy vegetable growers are using higher levels of pesticides than allowed or alternatively using forms of pesticides that are forbidden by Health Ministry standards because they are harmful to human health."
"The national Kashrut division has been asked to instruct officials providing kashrut certification to these producers to issue certificates only to companies supervised by the Israeli health ministry on a regular basis – either directly by health ministry laboratories or by laboratories approved by the ministry," the Rabbinate's letter continued.
The letter stated emphatically: "Let it be clear to all food services and producers whose kashrut is certified by the local rabbinate, not to purchase, under any circumstances, produce that is not supervised, since it is impossible to check it in the public sector. As of now, there is no change in the instructions that obligate you to use health ministry-supervised produce exclusively."
A Chief Rabbinate spokesman said that "companies which will not comply with these standards will be disqualified by the issuers of Kashrut certificates, and we will even publicize it, so that it won't be permissible to use their products in places that are supervised by the local rabbinate."
In a long, detailed, halachic ruling issued last week, Rav Amar wrote that it is preferable to use vegetables that were not grown by the bug-free method (using the dangerous pesticides) and to clean them at home. According to Rav Amar, the processes used to prevent infestation cause many health risks.
Rav Amar is adamant on correcting the popular misconception among Orthodox Jews that it is impossible to clean vegetables from insects, and that they, therefore, must be purged using special 'bug-free' methods which actually cause a lot of health hazards.
Rav Amar further argues that it is inconceivable that the population that wants to be more cautious about kashrut issues should spend more money for produce that is hazardous to their health.
According to Rav Amar's halachic ruling, "there is no justification that people who are careful regarding the prohibition of eating worms and insects pay good money for it, and that even poor people are driven to reduce their children's food intake, thinking they are being spared from halachic prohibitions, only to be victims of bigger threats than those halachic prohibitions."Jacob Edelist

Appearing simultaneously with Julia Barrett's Presumption, another sequel to Jane Austen's most popular novel Pride and Prejudice , Emma Tennant's Pemberley or Pride and Prejudice Continued (1993), takes Elizabeth Bennet into married life with Fitzwilliam Darcy. The novel explores an area of life untouched by Austen herself, whose loving couples are rarely able to rise above conventional dialogues having escaped the social constraints of dull, dangerous or hypocritical company. Pemberley concentrates on Elizabeth Bennet's anxiety over producing an heir for Darcy, to inherit his landed wealth, the house and grounds which so clearly signify his nobility and the grounds of his pride, in Pride and …

Associated Press
DENVER -- Gov. Bill Owens said Tuesday he will call a special legislative session unless the Colorado Supreme Court reverses its "arrogant" decision to throw out a November ballot measure that would ask voters to deny most state services to illegal immigrants.
Owens, a term-limited Republican, said the court imposes its own views in Monday's decision.
"In my opinion, the court's decision was inconsistent, it was inappropriate, and yes, I even believe it was arrogant," Owens said.
The governor asked the court to overturn its decision, but acknowledged there is little chance that will happen once the state files its request. He said he will give the court about two weeks.
The proposed constitutional amendment would not stop the state from paying for federally mandated services such as public education or emergency medical care. But supporters said it would prevent illegal immigrants from receiving welfare and in-state college tuition. They have declined to list all the services that would be affected, saying the list would be "almost endless."
In a 4-2 ruling Monday with one justice abstaining, the court said the measure cannot appear on the Nov. 7 ballot because it violates a requirement in the state constitution that initiatives deal with only one subject.
Rep. Jim Riesberg, D-Greeley, said he didn't think enough legislators would support a referenda to get one on the ballot. The General Assembly passed several bills this spring regarding immigration and human trafficking.
"Basically, (immigration) is not a state issue, it's a federal issue, and I think the state did a pretty good job on the few things it could do," Riesberg said.
He said the initiative was so broad in scope that illegal immigrants could technically be excluded from any service or function that is paid for by government.
"I'm thinking of the Friday Fest in downtown (Greeley). That is funded by the city," Riesberg said. "How would you prevent undocumented people from going to that? Do you now have somebody checking passports at every city function? I don't know how a bill like that could ever be enforced."
Rep. Dale Hall, R-Greeley, said that might be a stretch, but he agreed the law could be tough to regulate.
"I don't know how it would be enforced other than to verify citizenship," he said.
Hall signed the letter Republican lawmakers sent to Gov. Bill Owens Tuesday, asking him to call a special session. He said he didn't agree with the high court's decision that the initiative contained more than one topic, which is unconstitutional in Colorado.
"It's an attempt to try to make it more visible that we're utilizing state tax dollars only for medically necessary or federally mandated requirements," Hall said of the measure.
Most state benefits are already inaccessible to illegal immigrants, but Hall said some occasionally "slip through the cracks."
Defend Colorado Now, the group behind the measure, had already gathered more than 30,000 of the 68,000 voters' signatures required, but it cannot start over with a revised proposal because a key deadline has passed.
Owens said he believed the court, which got the case in January and the facts of the case in March, deliberately delayed a decision until after it was too late for proponents to get a measure on the ballot.
Republican lawmakers asked Owens to call a special session and give lawmakers a last-ditch opportunity to get the initiative back on the ballot. It would take a two-thirds vote in both houses, controlled by Democrats, to get it on the ballot.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is slated to report third-quarter earnings results before the market opens Thursday, offering clues on its shoppers' mindset heading into the holiday season.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Wal-Mart's figures will be examined for signs about the financial health of its shoppers, both in the U.S. and abroad. In particular, analysts will be dissecting any comments on how the retailer's early push for holiday sales has fared. They'll want to get an update on its holiday layaway program and more details on its plans to discount during what's expected to be a fiercely competitive holiday season.
Wal-Mart is pushing the start of the blockbuster deals earlier into Thanksgiving evening, following the lead of other retailers such as Best Buy. The world's largest discounter announced Tuesday that it will kick off the holiday shopping season at 6 p.m. on the holiday, two hours earlier than a year ago. The discounter also pulled forward by nearly a month seven big deals on items like TVs and tablets that were originally reserved for the day after Thanksgiving and so-called Cyber Monday.
Like other merchants, Wal-Mart is grappling with a yo-yo economic recovery that has been tough on low-income shoppers, and is causing middle- to upper-income shoppers to remain frugal about their purchases.
While jobs are easier to get and the turnaround in the housing market is gaining momentum, the improvements have not been enough to fuel higher levels of consumer spending for most Americans. Most are juggling tepid wage gains with higher costs of living. On top of that, Americans are still trying to digest the 2 percentage-point increase in payroll taxes that took effect Jan. 1.
Against this background, Wal-Mart's U.S. business has been challenged. The discounter in August cut its annual profit and revenue outlook for the year after reporting second-quarter results that missed Wall Street estimates.
The company's U.S. Wal-Mart stores, which account for 59 percent of its total sales, posted the second straight quarter of declines in a key revenue figure after six consecutive quarters of increases. Revenue at stores open at least a year — considered an important measure of a retailer's performance — fell 0.3 percent at Wal-Mart's U.S. namesake business. That's below the 0.7 percent gain analysts were expecting.
Adding in Sam's Club and international stores, revenue at stores open at least a year was flat compared with a year ago. It rose 1.7 percent at Sam's Club.
Revenue at stores open at least year, a key measurement for retailers because it excludes the effect of stores that open or close during the year, also fell below expectations.
Investors also will want an update on the company's investigation into allegations of bribery in its Mexico operations, which surfaced in late April 2012. Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., has launched its own internal investigation and is working with government officials in the U.S. and Mexico.
Wal-Mart has said it's been investing in fortifying controls overseas and has hired new executives to oversee its efforts to comply with laws against foreign bribes. Starting this year, the retailer is also tying some of its executives' compensation to how successful Wal-Mart is overhauling its compliance division.
WHY IT MATTERS: Wal-Mart's results are considered a bellwether of consumer spending because the company draws nearly 10 percent of all nonautomotive retail spending in the U.S.
WHAT'S EXPECTED: Analysts expect earnings of $1.13 per share on net sales of $116.88 billion, according to FactSet. The sales estimate exclude figures from membership fees from Sam's Club.
LAST YEAR'S QUARTER: Wal-Mart earned $1.08 per share on net sales of $113.92 billion.

Even assuming that the city comes up with another $60 million requested by the Philadelphia School District, the projected budget for the next school year will be a disaster for the city and its schoolchildren, a series of parents, teachers, civic groups and students told City Council on Tuesday.
"People are the backbone of our school," said Alison Stuart, a fifth-grade teacher at McCall School near Washington Square, who bicycled to City Hall after school to testify as the last of about 50 witnesses at a Council budget hearing.
"I felt compelled to come out for all the librarians, all the secretaries, all the band teachers, everybody who makes our community what it is," Stuart said, beginning to cry as she described the school nurse cleaning tables in the lunchroom.

"I'm very excited about the recent Kansas offer," explained King. "I've been to the school and I've seen the facilities and I like it a lot. I haven't seen any of the other schools."
King said he plans on visiting the other schools that have offered him. He did have good things to say about Louisiana Tech. "Dirk absolutely loves it," King said about his teammate, Tech signee Dirk Tanner. "I haven't been there yet, but I talk to Coach Likens a lot and he seems awesome. He's very helpful with recruiting, bot only with Tech, but recruiting in general."
Does King talk to Knighten about playing together at the next level? "Arkansas State and Louisiana Tech have both offered Fredi," aknowledged King. "We talk about playing together because we're great friends. Since the schools started coming in and watching us, they are really liking what they see."
King talked about other schools that have been showing interest. "I'll be at Ole Miss this weekend," he added. "They called and said if I come then they think I will have an offer. I'll be at the Arkansas camp because they said the same thing. The offensive line coach at LSU came to talk to me and said he wants to offer me and will let me know when Coach Miles gives him the okay. I plan on visiting many different schools this summer."
At 6'4" 295-pounds, King is a phyiscal presence on the field. He also plays basketball and uses his athleticism on the football field as well. King has helped pave the way for Pulaski Academy's offense to roll up thousands of yards and hundreds of points. You can pretty much bet on the fact he will be doing the same thing for one lucky offense at the college level in the near future.

When you take action, you can influence the behaviours of others and feel better about yourself. You can also contribute to making prejudice unacceptable. Silence can be interpreted as approval. Here are just a few suggestions, based on Australian and international studies:
Be ready. This won't be the last time you witness discrimination. Imagine yourself not staying silent and speaking up. Change happens slowly, small steps count.
Assess your surroundings. A heated exchange with a stranger can turn into a threatening situation. Is the speaker with a group of people? Are you alone? Are children present? This may not be the right time to take a stand.
Say nothing. A questioning glance might be enough – it is non-confrontational and you can keep moving if the situation feels awkward or unsafe.
Say something. Be calm and respectful and avoid directly judging the speaker. Make it about the behaviour, not the person and they might listen.
Find or be an ally. Who is around you? Is there someone else looking angry or upset? Make eye contact. They might support you if you speak up. Does the person being abused appear to want assistance? Support them through words or actions.
Be honest. As you watch for moments of everyday prejudice, don't overlook yourself. It's not hard to catch yourself out in a biased thought or action.

In early studies of diphtheria toxin, it was observed that on standing the toxin undergoes spontaneous change resulting in loss of toxicity. But this loss of toxicity is not accompanied by corresponding loss in ability to neutralize diphtheria antitoxin. In elaborating his theory of immunity, Ehrlich employed the term "toxoid" to designate this nontoxic substance which is still able to bind antitoxin. The French prefer the term "anatoxin" for this substance. The change from toxin to toxoid, which takes place spontaneously in solutions of diphtheria toxin, may be hastened by addition of certain chemicals. Ramon used formaldehyde to accelerate and complete the change from diphtheria toxin to toxoid and utilized the formolized product for active immunization. He found the same method useful in obtaining toxoid from tetanus toxin. Toxoids that have lost their toxicity but retain the ability to neutralize and stimulate the production of antitoxin are satisfactory agents for

Alexandra Hedison
Jump to
Actress and photographer Alexandra Hedison was perhaps best known to the public for her work as documentary filmmaker Dylan on the third season of Showtime series "The L Word" (2004-09). Although Hedison did make a splash on the show, which chronicled the lives of a group of young lesbian women living in Los Angeles, her other career as a photographer was far more prolific. Hedison was educated at both SUNY Purchase in upstate New York and UCLA. As a photographer, the earliest exhibitions of her work were held in her hometown of L.A., at the Rose Gallery in Bergamot Station. These works were a series of abstract landscapes. The themes in Hedison's work focused on both internal and external landscapes, and such abstract notions as memory, the architecture of the subconscious, and the nature of loss. Hedison's work was widely collected in both private and public collections in Europe and the United States. In addition to her work as an artist and actress, Hedison achieved some notoriety for her high profile romantic relationships. Hedison was romantically involved with actress and TV personality Ellen DeGeneres from 2001 to 2004. In 2014 Hedison married actress Jodie Foster after the couple had been dating for a year.

The Top 6: All About Designer Shawn Sowers
Designer: Shawn R. Sowers Link: www.commonhousefurniture.com Location: Perrysburg, OH
>> Click here to learn more about Shawn, see his studio and hear his video pitch for his finalist product design
THE DESIGNShawn's original entry with comments
I don't have a dedicated workspace or studio. The place where ideas start for me is usually on our couch or chair. I spend a lot of time looking at books, magazines, and online to see whats happening and what's been done thus far. I also sketch here. Sketching isn't sacred to me, it's simply a way to explore ideas and refine mental images a little further before going into CAD.
The kitchen table is phase two of my design process. I like to spread out, consume the space with ideas, sketches and inspiration. I do my CAD work here using Pro Engineer. Using the table keeps me focused; it keeps me from getting lazy and filling a desk with things I think are interesting but not relevant to what I'm pursuing.
The shops of my builders are the place where I see my first prototypes, good and bad, and start the process of refinement. Its a collaborative process, pushing and pulling ideas about what I'm seeking and how we can achieve it.
Jens Risom is my favorite designer. I was fortunate enough to visit Jens at his home several times to talk with him about his career and get his thoughts on my designs as I was developing the Commonhouse line. It was incredible to see how he lived, and I was lucky enough to be there when he was working on drawings for DWR's Risom Rocker. His work has impacted my designs and my thinking about furniture and the role it must play. Elegance is always present in his work, but the comfort of his seating is what captivates me. I also have a great deal of respect for the risk he took pursuing his entrepreneurial vision, leaving Denmark in the middle of the Danish Modern rising to come to the US. He saw a void in American Design and had the insight to realize that was an opportunity to develop his career and make a name for himself.
Richard Sapper's Tizio lamp stands at the forefront of my favorite designs. It has everything that makes for Good Design: strong form, dynamic gesture, innovative function, bold use of color, graphic elements, and a memorable visual imprint. During my time at IBM & Lenovo I was fortunate enough to work along side Richard. Seeing how he thought and the way he approached a design problem was when I believe I truly began to learn about Design and what the act of Design is meant to be in its purest form.

Solutions for Chapter 18
The blank to be filled are respectively
End mills have tools made up of high speed steel or carbide and hence provide strength during the milling operation. Thus, end mills are commonly used as cutters in vertical milling machine. Face mills have adjustable tips which can be rotated and indexed if they become blunt and hence provides larger tip life and economical cutting life.

The "Twilight: New Moon" trailer has arrived. Hallelujah, angels sing and and other celebratory signs of Edward and Jacob arriving.
The long awaited, much-hyped trailer for the second "Twilight" film heated up the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night to the delight of many tween and ahem, older fans.
Not only does it feature pale and chiseled vamp Edward (Rob Pattinson), but also allows Bella's (Kristen Stewart) other admirer Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to show what he's made of, literally and uh, bare-chestedly.
And in this world, a paper cut isn't just a paper cut. See for yourself:

I'm glad she had the opportunity to compete @ SA. Ticked off that NBC didn't show her performance ( so what else is new, NBC?).
I'm glad she had the opportunity to compete @ SA. Ticked off that NBC didn't show her performance ( so what else is new, NBC?).
Thanks for the link to Samantha's FS.....I was really when IN didn't show and then NBC didn't show it either. I am puzzled why her LP was called a level 3 in the SP but only a level 1 in the FS. I think both spins had the classic layback and then the sideways leaning part and a catchfoot. Maybe the number of rotations were different?
Can anyone help explain the difference in levels between the SP and FS? Thanks
Glad somebody open a thread for Samantha. I became a fan since I saw her last year at JGP and I was so upset she injured herself and had to withdraw from her second event. She is one of a kind, she has a unique style. You know we always get excited when we discover a new talented girl and say she reminds me of...(like Angela Wang and Michelle Kwan). But Samantha doesn't remind me of anyone because I haven't seen somebody like her. She is like a lady from an ice dancing couple, skating and dancing without a partner. She is so classy and feminine and full of attack in the same time. I still can't understand how can she underrotate so much when she has so powerful and high jumps and almost always lands them very nicely. I don't know if this problem will ever disappear, is a big one and very complicated. I remember Mirai was very very young when she got called for all her jumps as being underrotated. I think it was at Nationals right after the year she won nationals. Everybody said she had a growth spurt and she seemed ok for a few years including 2010 and than the problem reappeared. Mao and Ashley are also fighting with this. Sometimes they win, sometimes they don't. At SA they both had troubles underrotating some jumps.
Anyway, I am a big fan of Samantha. She and Liza impressed me the most at SA. I also liked Ashley but she lacked some of her nerve, she was very cautious. But Samantha and Liza gave it all.
According to Wiki:
so this is why she keeps trying the 3Lo+3Lo!She attempts 3Lo3Lo combinations more commonly than 3T3T because there is less pressure on her facet joint.
Anyway, I think that she's becoming probably one of favourite skaters
Perhaps the answer is Rafael Arutunian for a coach.
He has really helped Ashley Wagner & Adam Rippon in the jump area. They were both strikingly better at Skam than in the past. Ashley could never get a 3/3 ratified as rotated and Adam's 3A was very, very sometime.
Samantha's problem is that she is 20 and skating the first GP event of her life. The average 20 year olds have been skating senior for 4-5 years. While she looked mature and skated reasonably well, she hasn't quite established a style of her own yet, unlike Caroline Zhang, who is only a few months older than Cesario, has established, lost, re-established and lost herself for a few times already. Samantha's physique seems to bode well for booming later though. She probably would have more longevity than Gao, Zawadzki and Hicks.
She always did well enough in JGP to keep herself in the ISP for the following year.
But yes, just as well, the timing is probably right in the end.
I thoroughly enjoyed Samantha. She has a sexy, flirty, sassy style that really works for her. I think both programs are very well done and I'm in love with her Carmen FS. Great musicality in the choreography, I love the attitude she gives it, and to top it all off she executed her jumps very well. I think some higher level spins and footwork would really move her up in the standings.
This was her first event and she didn't come in as a hyped newbie senior which, in a way, allows her to fly under the radar. The downside is the judges weren't paying too much attention to her. Finishing top 5 and skating as well as she did was a great step in the right direction for her. If she continues to skate well and improve she'll see those scores start to rise...
Just noticed that Sam's ChSq was the best of the event, with a +1.70 GOE!!
For a grand prix debut it was very respectable. And she scored a 114.47 in the long. That's a great score when you're making your grand prix debut. Honestly you can kind of tell she hasn't been competing much in the senior ranks. On the hand she skates with a certain polish more typical of a seasoned senior lady. And her packaging is really strong.
But for me, as much as I love the details and the way she sold that footwork, and I thought her choreographed sequence was amazing, she's missing a certain power to her skating.
Also, as we all know, PCS are as much about reputation as anything else. She would probably help herself by switching to a simpler combo in the short that she knows will get ratified every time she goes out there. She seems to train her programs well, and has a pretty good head for competition, but if she can put out clean sp's it will go a long way to building her reputation I think.
I've been a fan of Samantha for many years. I was so happy to see she got Skate America. Good for her. Clean up those ur's. She is so musical and talented. I bleccched when I heard she was doing Carmen this year, but it works for me. She sells it. I'm not sure it's enough to make the Olympic team, but it's really good.
Her Carmen has movements that are copied directly from Sasha
and Michelle
I don't think skaters should copy other skaters, a skater should develop their own style. But she does show promise. Look forward to seeing more of her this season.

Julie Greenaway - Maxwell Award Winner
Every two months Swimming World magazine and Maxwell Medals recognizes an official for their outstanding contributions to local swimming. Each LSC or other governing body can submit a candidate that is deserving of recognition and the winning official is selected by a sub-committee of the National Officials Committee to be recognized in Swimming World magazine every two months. August's recognition goes to Julie Greenway with Oregon Swimming.
Julie certified as a Timing Judge in Oregon in 2007 and was grandfathered in as an Admin Official when the certification came out two years ago. Prior to 2007, she was already involved in the Meet Director role. She is affiliated with Mt Hood Aquatics, one of the biggest clubs in Oregon. This club hosts 15 – 20 meets a year, and she is involved in many of them. She was a Meet Director for both the LC Sectional meet and the USA Swimming Futures meet this summer, as well as assisting with many others. She has worked tirelessly and put in countless hours over the years organizing and running both small and large meets. When she is not the Meet Director, she is often the Admin Official or a Timing Judge. She is considered an expert trainer and counted on by our LSC for her skills in training Admin Officials, Timing Judges and Meet Directors. No mater how chaotic or hectic things may be, she always has a positive attitude and a smile on her face. Her children are no longer swimming competitively, but she continues to be committed to the sport.
