Post updated to credit the Stargate creator/groom:
Ian Milward spent weeks building a Stargate for his wedding and I think it was absolutely worth it. This amazing ring is measures 12-feet in diameter and is unbelievably detailed with constellations and LEDs. And there's a pretty cool story behind it as well:
"They first met working at the same lumber and hardware store, and connected because of a mutual love of Stargate. About a year into their relationship, they were watching the episode where Jack and Sam get married in front of a gate, and she said that would be pretty awesome, so six years later he remembered that and did it."
Check out more images (especially the impressive nighttime view) of the Stargate after the break.

Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) Apr 30, 2013
Because it has no source of energy, a dead star -- known as a white dwarf -- will eventually cool down and fade away. But circumstantial evidence suggests that white dwarfs can still support habitable planets, says Prof. Dan Maoz of Tel Aviv University's School of Physics and Astronomy.
Now Prof. Maoz and Prof. Avi Loeb, Director of Harvard University's Institute for Theory and Computation and a Sackler Professor by Special Appointment at TAU, have shown that, using advanced technology to become available within the next decade, it should be possible to detect biomarkers surrounding these planets -- including oxygen and methane -- that indicate the presence of life.
Published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the researchers' "simulated spectrum" demonstrates that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), set to be launched by NASA in 2018, will be capable of detecting oxygen and water in the atmosphere of an Earth-like planet orbiting a white dwarf after only a few hours of observation time -- much more easily than for an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star.
Their collaboration is made possible by the Harvard TAU Astronomy Initiative, recently endowed by Dr. Raymond and Beverly Sackler.
Faint Light, Clear Signals
An abundance of heavy elements already observed on the surface of white dwarfs suggest rocky planets orbit a significant fraction of them. The researchers estimate that a survey of 500 of the closest white dwarfs could spot one or more habitable planets.
The unique characteristics of white dwarfs could make these planets easier to spot than planets orbiting normal stars, the researchers have shown. Their atmospheres can be detected and analyzed when a star dims as an orbiting planet crosses in front of it. As the background starlight shines through the planet's atmosphere, elements in the atmosphere will absorb some of the starlight, leaving chemical clues of their presence -- clues that can then be detected from the JWST.
When an Earth-like planet orbits a normal star, "the difficulty lies in the extreme faintness of the signal, which is hidden in the glare of the 'parent' star," Prof. Maoz says. "The novelty of our idea is that, if the parent star is a white dwarf, whose size is comparable to that of an Earth-sized planet, that glare is greatly reduced, and we can now realistically contemplate seeing the oxygen biomarker."
In order to estimate the kind of data that the JWST will be able to see, the researchers created a "synthetic spectrum," which replicates that of an inhabited planet similar to Earth orbiting a white dwarf. They demonstrated that the telescope should be able to pick up signs of oxygen and water, if they exist on the planet.
A Critical Sign of Life
The JWST will be ideal for hunting out signs of life on extraterrestrial planets because it is designed to look into the infrared region of the light spectrum, where such biomarkers are prominent. In addition, as a space-based telescope, it will be able to analyze the atmospheres of Earth-like planets outside our solar system without weeding out the similar signatures of Earth's own atmosphere.

The results of a survey conducted by the University of Kentucky's Gluck Equine Research Center and College of Agriculture showed that a small number of Thoroughbred and other farms in Central Kentucky experienced an unusual increase in what is being termed fall fetal loss syndrome (FFLS). While there are "suspects," there is no definitive cause known at this time for the abortions which occurred in the last three months of 2002.Detailed information on the breeding and management practices on eight affected farms (seven of which were Thoroughbred) and 22 farms that did not have FFLS (termed control farms) were evaluated, said Dr. David Powell of the Gluck Equine Research Center. Veterinarians and farms were very cooperative in gathering this information, he said.Farms that had FFLS experienced abortions ranging from five to 22 per farm occurring between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30 (the cutoff on the survey). In some instances, the abortion was preceded by vaginal discharge. The fetuses were between 120 to 260 days of gestation. There were no significant pathologic changes seen during necropsy of the aborted fetuses at the Kentucky Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center (LDDC), said Powell.Three risk factors were considered significant when the information was studied. Those were the use of a topical insecticide(s); caterpillars on the farm in 2001 and 2002 coupled with mare reproductive loss syndrome (MRLS) in the spring of 2002; and illness in some mares in 2002.Suspects for causing the FFLS at this time include West Nile virus, other biologic agents, MRLS, endophyte toxicity, and insecticide toxicity. "We can't exclude the possibility that this is a chronic consequence of MRLS or exposure to caterpillars," said Powell. "Just as with MRLS, we've got to keep an open mind and not let individual theories bias our interpretation of what is going on."On three of the eight farms with higher losses, pastures were examined. High levels of the ergot alkaloid associated with fescue toxicosis was found in those pastures. However, said Powell, a search of literature did not show any data that fescue could cause mid-term losses in cattle or mares. Weather information from the UK Agriculture Weather Center showed that a serious drought occurred in Central Kentucky from June through early October. "It is well-known that in drought conditions, fescue survives well," noted Powell. "In a number of pastures with losses, fescue was the predominate grass available to grazing mares. This doesn't prove that fescue was a factor in causing losses, but, we consider it worthy of pursuing.""What we determined was that we are looking at a problem that was restricted to a small number of farms," explained Powell. "Further losses were experienced on these farms, and other farms were found to have losses, but it was a cluster on a small number of farms, the majority of which have been identified and participated in the survey."
Kentucky Survey Provides Population Information
The fall 2002 survey of farms that did and did not suffer abortions from fall fetal loss syndrome gave important breeding information to Dr. David Powell and his colleagues from the University of Kentucky. The survey information allowed them to determine that on the 22 control farms, a year-end pregnancy rate of 90.5% was achieved. On seven of the eight farms with FFLS that provided complete information, the pregnancy rate was 75%."This is one of the first times we've obtained pregnancy rate data relevant to the current breeding season," said Powell.This information is considered the "denominator" in trying to determine if a problem is significant in a population of pregnant mares. It is hoped that continued collection of this type of information will help researchers know if certain factors--such as an increase from last year in the number of abortions sent to the Kentucky Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center--is significant or just a reflection of the mare population and possibly increased submissions from breeders who previously didn't take fetuses to the lab.

Paul Harfleet's Blog
Artist Paul Harfleet's interest lies in the implications of citizenship and its influence on navigation and memory of the urban environment. He augments and re-contextualises various sites and objects by allocating them with new meaning or significance often through drawing, photography and intervention.
Benjamin Britten Portrait
My current practice explores autonomous ongoing projects which focus on my interest in the cultural representation, position and attitude towards those outside of the heteronormative mass with an interest in the implications of citizenship and its influence on navigation and memory of the urban environment I augment and re-contextualise various sites and objects by allocating them with new meaning or significance often through drawing, photography and intervention. This interest includes The Pansy Project an ongoing process that involves the planting of pansies at various sites of homophobic abuse. A pansy is planted at the site of a homophobic attack; each location is named after the abuse then posted on my website with further reflection posted on The Pansy Project Blog. Occasional large scale interventions, photographic documentation sculptural assemblage and drawing act as components of exhibition which have been included in various festivals and projects world-wide. Existing for five years the project continues to develop and explore the notion of memory, urban experience and violence from an autobiographical viewpoint. Another experimental stream of my practice is the personification of Coco LaVerne a fictional 'female' incarnation who writes a satirical blog, this 'performative' writing takes inspiration from mainstream media and is intended to critique and observe the representation of society within popular culture. Originated as light relief from the occasionally harrowing Pansy Project the blog has garnered a world-wide following, Coco LaVerne has been described as "An Acid Tongued Glamazon" and as a "Controversial Blogger!" and was nominated for 'Best New Blog' at the Manchester Blog Awards. The imagery and personae of Coco LaVerne is promoted through on-line social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. I have been involved with various curatorial projects including Apartment which was an artist led space ran from my one bedroom council flat in central Manchester a space directed with Hilary Jack which showed various international artists over a period of five years.
The Legacy of Turing
When the above memorial was revealed at Bletchley Park there was some controversy focusing on the lack of information regarding Alan Turing's homosexuality with calls from various activists to augment the text accompanying the memorial to properly place Turing in 'gay history'.
Whilst browsing the various posts on Turing it is interesting to note that the level of detail regarding his sexuality varies greatly. Some say "he was believed to be homosexual" others refrain from commenting on the nature of Turing's personal life and death at all. Do these omissions represent a version of homophobia?
It's tempting to believe that the reason for this partial cultural invisibility is in part due to Turing's sexuality; a heteronormative society promotes and celebrates a particular version of masculinity. A brilliant scientist and thoughtful gay mans contribution to the war effort doesn't tally with the traditional viewing of a macho war hero.
Though I believe there is a responsibility to celebrate the great in all fields irrespective of sexuality. It is interesting to note that a recent poll of gay men and their heroes neglected to mention Alan Turing at all, instead the majority of 'heroes' focused on popular culture 'icons', for more read here. This perhaps reveals as much about gay culture as it does a wider societal disinterest in politics and history. My research continues.
Ruinous Recollections > Reflections
Post 'Ruinous Recollections' preview at Upper Space Gallery I have been reflecting on the way the work outlined below functioned within an exhibition context. During the opening I found myself introducing the work, each piece became an illustrative tool to illuminate the story of Alan Turing and the symbolism of the apple. Many but not all of the people attending the exhibition had heard of Alan Turing, so I found myself as storyteller, explaining the legacy of Turing and his importance to history. One fascinating aspect of the proceedings was the level at which Turing features in local urban legend. Many were aware of the statue in Sackville Gardens but were vague about the specificities of its meaning, I attempted to reveal as much about what I've learned of Turing as possible to as many people as possible and throughout this process I found myself repeating the same phrases and seeing similar expressions on the faces of the audience. Most where fascinated by the association with the Apple-Mac logo and its link with Alan Turings suicide, as I was. Most like me appeared to be intrigued by the symbolism of the apple throughout history. It occurs to that there is an association between the symbolism of the apple in this case and the propensity for urban legend in oral histories.
So as with The Pansy Project which explores the symbolism of the pansy and its ability to instigate discussion on homophobia, I seem to be adopting similar strategies with the apple and the Alan Turing narrative. This strategy is accompanied by an oral contribution, where the symbolism is used to illustrate and explain. This performative element within my work is apparently an intrinsic component. This 'work in progress' show has clarified for me the need to place the apples over the statue of Alan Turing, and the necessity for me to be on hand to explain the project to the passerby.
Perhaps most profoundly for me, I seem drawn to acting as ambassador for Alan Turing, as I do for the experience of homophobia with The Pansy Project. I tended to correct some of the misconceptions about his story. I was keen to emphasis his openness about his sexuality despite the illegality of this at the time. I referenced some of the humour in his letters included in Andrew Hodges book. Apparently my main drive was to depict the man as a complex and positive figure in history despite the tragedy of his story. On this point I am reminded of Richard Dyer's book 'The Culture of Queers', in the chapter 'Coming Out as Going in' – The Image of the Homosexual as Sad Young Man' Dyer explores the propensity for culture to present gay men as tragic figures, from fifties film stars such as Dirk Bogarde (top) and Montgomery Clift to the 19th Century Romantic Poets. On this I am inclined to focus on Alan Turing as tragic figure verses scientific genius and the link this has with the ideology of the struggling artist and the many contemporary versions of gayness. My research continues.
'Ruinous Recollections' > Research
The main focus of my interest is the memorial to Alan Turing placed in
I recently passed the statue and was interested to note the intervention/vandalism that had occurred on the Turing memorial. The above image shows that some park visitors had placed a Manchester United hat on the head of the memorial, and stuffed a Manchester Evening News under its arm. There were also condoms placed at various points on the monument, they had been blown up and filled with a white fluid; unlikely it seems to be the fluid they were designed to contain. The next day the statue was back to its old self; so no permanent 'damage'. It seems unlikely that the people responsible were intending to make a comment with the assemblage though it is interesting to note the perhaps unwitting significance of their choice of object. It could be said that the use of
I have also chosen to focus on the symbolism of the apple and the ambiguity surrounding Turing's death widely believed to be with a cyanide laced apple. This dramatic story seems to have over shadowed the man so I wanted to explore a way of reinvigorating the monument by perhaps focusing on the apple and its apparent ability to dominate the story of Alan Turing. I have attempted to explore and subvert the apples contribution to Alan Turings biography and hope to use it to promote further interest in this significant Manchester Figure. My research continues….
'please take one' is a collage illustrating a proposed intervention that will completely cover the Alan Turing memorial with apples. The apples placed over the statue will create a temporary intervention, the apples used will then be given away to passers by, as they walk on they will carry these symbols of Turing throughout the locality walking the streets that Turing once did. When the apples are removed the memorial will be re-seen reviving the statue, throughout the process discussion will surround the location of the memorial. (Sackville Gardens was selected due to its position in-between The Gay Village and UMIST (as was) which continue to be locations still connected with those most associated by Turings legacy). The apple, initially seeming to mask the story of the man, conceals then reveals the memorial.
'Poisoned Apples' the two bowls of apples present a possible solution to the reading of the installation placed in the gardens. I intend to create some form of accompaniment to the apples being given out. My initial feeling was that I would enjoy handing out apples to passers-by to eat whilst they hear or read about Turing and his suicide with a poisoned apple. Though I struggled with an efficient way of attaching this symbolism or meaning to the apple which would not visually detract from the installation, I settled on the skull and cross bone 'sticker' as a symbol of poison or toxicity, it is an instantly recognisable marker that without words communicates fatal danger. This simple augmentation then transforms the apple from humble fruit to possible danger and sums up the story of Turing's suicide I especially enjoy the juxtaposition of these two recognisable motifs and note there appropriateness and resonances with the 'Forbidden Fruit' and 'Snow White' mythologies. My research continues…

Somers Point middleweight Patrick Majewski is close to getting an opportunity to fight for a world championship.
The 33-year-old native of Radom, Poland, is ranked No. 9 by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and 15th in the World Boxing Organization (WBO) entering tonight's 10-round bout at Bally's Atlantic City against Philadelphia native Jamaal Davis.
A victory over Davis and perhaps one more win could be enough for one of the current champions — Sergio Martinez (WBC), Peter Quillan (WBO), Gennady Golovkin (World Boxing Association), Daniel Geale (International Boxing Federation) — to offer Majewski a title shot.
"Patrick is right where he needs to be," Majewski's manger, Arnold Robbins, said. "Guys who are in the top 10, top 15, are usually the ones who get the title shots. But there's no room for error. He has to beat Davis in order to keep himself in the running."
Because of his age, Majewski (20-1, 13 KOs) has been on the fast track since moving to the United States in 2001 and to the Jersey Shore in 2003. A wrestler in Poland, he first tried boxing when he ventured into the Wildwood Boxing Club in 2003 while living and working in Avalon. He switched to the Atlantic City PAL upon moving to Somers Point one year later.
The Atlantic City PAL sustained damage to its roof during a snowstorm about a month ago, forcing Majewski and some of the other fighters to switch gyms. Majewski trained at Bullpen Vale Tudo in Egg Harbor Township for tonight's fight.
Since turning pro in 2006, he's had very few easy fights. Davis (14-8-1, 6 KOs) is Majewski's 15th opponent with a winning record. Including Davis, Majewski's last six foes have boasted a combined record of 106-30-6.
"He's made a lot of progress since he started with us," trainer Bill Johnson said. "On a scale of 1 to 10, he was pretty low when he first came to us, but he's at a 9 right now. His skills are much better and his boxing mentality has also improved, which is very important."
Grueling training sessions with Johnson and Robbins are supplemented with workouts at Living Well CrossFit on Tilton Road in Northfield three times a week. He also uses a nutritionist to moniter his diet.
"I'm 33 and time is not on my side with boxing," Majewski said. "There's no time to waste. This is my 22nd fight and I feel like I'm at my peak. But I have to win every fight."
Health issues resolved
He did have to take some time off recently.
In his last fight, a 10-round majority decision victory over Latif Mundy on Sept. 29, Majewski sustained a cut above his left eye that required stitches. He also aggravated a nagging injury to his left shoulder.
He refrained from sparring for more than three months while his eye healed. He also received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his shoulder that eased the pain and improved his range of motion.
"I can't use any injuries as an excuse," Majewski said. "I feel great."
Davis promises to provide a tough challenge. His recent losses were to highly regarded fighters such as Gabriel Rosado (21-6, 13 KOs) and Joel Julio (37-4, 31 KOs). He's 2-0-1 since losing via 12th-round TKO to Rosado at Bally's two years ago.
Considering Davis normally campaigns as a junior-middleweight, Majewski's strength should give him an advantage.
"He can box and he can brawl," Majewski said. "He's a good fighter. But I have to win every fight. I'm close to where I want to be, but I'm also so far away because every fight is dangerous. I can't afford to lose."
Punchlines: Tonight's card also features an eight-round co-feature between Middle Township light-heavyweight Chuck Mussachio (18-2-2, 5 KOs) and Lionell Thompson (12-2, 8 KOs), of Buffalo, N.Y. Millville featherweight Joshua Caban-Reyes (3-0, 1 KO) will meet Tommy Garcia (3-3, 2 KOs), of Hartford, Conn., in a four-rounder. ... Doors to Bally's Main Ballroom will open at 7 p.m. with the first bout scheduled for 7:30. ... Tickets priced at $50 and $75 are available at the door and through Ticketmaster.

Report: Counterfeit Chinese Electronics in U.S. Military Aircraft Jeopardize National Security

Counterfeit electronics and military hardware risks American lives
It would be reasonable to expect the United States military contractors building the aircraft our military uses to defend the nation to be absolutely sure electronics they use in the aircraft are legitimate and don't suffer from any security issues. However, a Senate report indicates that this not always the case. The Senate Armed Services Committee issued a report documenting the year-long investigation launched by Democratic Chairman Carl Levin and ranking Republican John McCain into counterfeit Chinese electronics in military aircraft.
The report spans 112 pages shows that 1,800 cases of bogus counterfeit parts were discovered during the investigation. The counterfeit Chinese parts were discovered in the Air Force's largest cargo plane, helicopters used by special ops soldiers, and Navy surveillance aircraft.
Levin said, "[The report] outlines how this flood of counterfeit parts, overwhelmingly from China, threatens national security, the safety of our troops and American jobs."
"It underscores China's failure to police the blatant market in counterfeit parts — a failure China should rectify," he continued.
The Senate report also notes that the Chinese government wouldn't issue visas to Senate committee staff that wanted to travel to Asia as part of the investigation.
Defense News
reports that one Chinese embassy official said the issue was sensitive and a negative report could damage relations between the United States and China.
While the source of the counterfeit electronics was overwhelmingly determined to be China, the report does say that contractors and other authorities in the United States are partly to blame for failing to detect fake parts and routinely failing to report suspected counterfeit goods.
Among the fake and counterfeit parts the investigation discovered were Electromagnetic Interference Filters that were used in night missions and in the operation of military arms such as the Hellfire missile used on certain Navy helicopters. Counterfeit memory chips were also found in the display systems used by the C-17 Globemaster III and the C-130J military cargo aircraft. Additional counterfeit parts were discovered in refurbished ice detection modules on the Navy P-8A Poseidon used for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare by the Navy.
The SAS first
the problem of counterfeit electronics and military hardware last year.

Eddie Groves, Paignton, Devon
A windfall tax on bankers' bonuses could help pay for more social housing. Most economies are driven by their construction industries and I would like to see a concerted effort by all the G20 countries to bring forward even more capital and social housing projects.
The construction industry is very labour-intensive and an increase in work would bring a number of positive effects including more people in employment and more tax revenue. There would be fewer benefits paid out and it would provide direct help for other industries such as the steel industry and retail.
It would give something tangible for government money expended and lead to an increase in confidence throughout the wider economy. This could be funded by cutting back on government waste generally but specifically on ending the final-salary/index-linked pensions in the public sector. A reduction in spending on prison inmates and a cap on legal aid.
June Khan, Kilmarnock
We need much closer supervision of the banks and in particular, the executives and the salaries and bonuses paid to them. Tax havens should not be permitted; income tax should be raised for those earning over £100,000.
Young people should be encouraged to be less concerned with celebrity and materialistic lifestyles and more focused on green issues. Salaries for professional sports should be greatly reduced, as should those for TV personalities. Small businesses must get more help to provide apprenticeships and those in arts and crafts should provide training in skills that are dying out.
Recipients of unemployment benefit should be given tasks or training to encourage them back to work as or when suitable positions arise. We must utilise the scientific and medical knowledge in this country to help less developed countries become more independent. As early as possible, we should withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Sarah and Eddie Veys, East Horsley, Surrey
The G20 should go back to the basic values of life. More resources should be channelled into helping alleviate poverty. Rich countries should be meeting deprivation in the poorest countries head on.
Initially, they need to give financial aid but long-term they must educate, provide better healthcare and help people to be self-sufficient. Charities should be seen to be putting a greater proportion of their income into aid, otherwise they should be heavily penalised.
Two things which also worry us are the huge amount spent on armaments and the huge profits made by pharmaceutical companies. The G20 must act far more decisively on the environment whilst there is still a chance of reversing climate change ... the G20 have not taken sufficient steps to safeguard the environment.
Elizabeth Cathcart, Leeds
The government should consult more over how the billions are spent.
People are not idiots and should be consulted more. We all know what's gone wrong with the economy but Gordon Brown has not come clean about the government's involvement in all this and why should we trust him to lead us out of this mess. Politicians should have more faith in the wider population and ask us how the future should be built.
Look at the miners of Yorkshire. Politicians took decisions to close the pits and yet now we are importing all that coal. Mining communities have been broken up and not enough work done to provide new jobs.
It's no joke what's happening round here. All those poor people in Halifax [HBOS bank] who have lost their jobs. But we need a new way of looking at things with ordinary people involved in decision-making.
Lynne and Derek Hunter, Middlesbrough
We would like to see a society develop which is far less selfish and acquisitive with a more caring and considerate attitude towards our fellow citizens.
It would be a change to see a far less challenging and aggressive attitude towards people and situations than we have seen so far.
We would like to see more acceptance of our lot in life and people being grateful for what they have rather than constantly striving for the impossible dream financed by credit. It would be a good thing if people took more responsibility for themselves and realise that although credit has been easy to obtain, the converse of credit is debt which has to be repaid and that it is no use blaming banks or government when you can't pay your bills.
We'd like people to value the simple things life has to offer in abundance rather than constantly trying to keep up with the Joneses!

Dear Ship Family:
As fall semester begins, I'd like to share with you some current information about our 2012-13 academic year budget.
Over the past few years, Shippensburg University faced significant reductions in state appropriations. Despite modest tuition increases, our budget was cut about $24 million over the past 10 years. To adjust, we made reductions after receiving invaluable input from you and other members of the campus community — input that let us continue providing needed programs, services and support.
This year the initial state budget proposal cut 20 percent from funding for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and its 14 member universities. This followed an 18 percent cut for the 2011-12 academic year.
While the 2012-13 budget that was finally approved and signed provided level funding for PASSHE, it still left a significant funding gap. We were able to partially close that gap with a $188 annual tuition increase that PASSHE's Board of Governors (BOG) approved. But, this is the fifth time in eight years that the increase has been at or below the rate of inflation.
This increase is well below what we need. However, the BOG — and university presidents — agreed that any increase should be reasonable. We also agreed that students should not make up the funding difference, especially during these difficult economic times that challenge our nation.
At Ship, we understand these challenges and work hard to meet them every day. This year, we will keep support positions vacant, reduce our energy usage, limit purchases as appropriate, and aggressively seek ways to find additional revenue sources. Once again, I'd like to thank you and everyone in our campus community for supporting our efforts and providing suggestions that we've been able to implement.
We will remain focused on our core mission of academics. This has been, and always will be, central to our decisions that address the challenge of increased costs and higher expectations coupled with ever-limited fiscal resources. Our standard for all changes is the student's best interests and the university's integrity.
The senior management team is reviewing suggestions that save money and affect the entire campus. When they complete that review, we will share the suggestions with you, and again ask for your ideas and input. To meet this challenge, your support and cooperation are crucial. Please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or use the anonymous President's Suggestion Box available on my website to offer your ideas.
Among Ship's many strengths is the spirit of collaboration. That spirit has allowed us to meet past challenges, will allow us meet current challenges, and will help us meet those we will face in the future. Thank you again for your support of Ship, and we will keep you informed of any changes to this great university.

A new legislative session has begun and lawmakers in Sacramento are wasting no time in crafting new bills. Some are new and some are familiar from the last session, such as a bill that would make it easier to fire teachers accused of sexually abusing students. A state audit released on Tuesday showed districts such as Los Angeles Unified end up agreeing to costly settlements to get rid of teachers. Reporter: Ana Tintocalis

Australia's largest share registry business, Computershare, is believed to be planning a major acquisition, possibly New York-based Georgeson Shareholder group, which could cost $US150 million ($221 million) or more.
Georgeson is best known for its successful proxy solicitation operations in North America, Europe and Australia. Such operations involve contacting individual shareholders and seeking their support, and were used in the recent MIM and BankWest takeovers.
A move on Georgeson would be seen by analysts as "company-transforming".
Market sources said Computershare was one of two parties bidding for Georgeson.
The Melbourne share registry is facing stiff competition from rival registries locally and there are concerns it is operating in a long-term environment of low growth.
Georgeson chairman and major shareholder Alexander Miller is understood to have engaged Goldman Sachs in New York in March to find a buyer for the business, which has worldwide revenues of about about $US150 million. Historically, Computershare has paid between one and two times revenue for registry businesses although Georgeson's main proxy solicitation business - often used by companies in takeovers to maximise voter response - is untested ground for Computershare.
Computershare is seen by some analysts as ready to take on an acquisition, having suspended its buyback. Some believe Computershare chief executive Chris Morris could spend up to $400 million on a company-transforming deal.
Five parties originally bid in March for Georgeson, with none being accepted. Market sources say Computershare and US asset management group Mellon Financial Corp are the only two remaining in the race.
Acquiring proxy solicitation operations would allow Compushare to feed new clients into its existing registry operations.
Observers also said Georgeson's more dynamic sales culture would assist Computershare, which has been accused of being too bureaucratic in the face of fierce competition from its main local rivals, ASX Perpetual Registrars and Orient Capital.
Critics have said the group has relied too heavily on client growth by acquisition rather than new sales.
While Georgeson's US division has been affected by the recent downturn in market activity, its Canadian, European and Australian operations continue to show strong growth.
A spokesman for Computershare, Dudley Chamberlain, would not comment on future acquisition plans.
Despite the stock touching 18-month highs in recent weeks, Computershare has been a massive disappointment for investors betting on a high growth stock.
The stock is well down on the lofty $5.72 it changed hands for at the start of last year and the company's most recent result was a 77 per cent slump in net 2002-03 profit to $16.2 million.
In August it forecast earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of between $140 million and $160 million.
The company is pinning its hopes of a stronger profit in the year ahead on a recovery of global stockmarkets after stripping out $60 million in costs in the last financial year, including the departure of more than 500 staff.
It is also believed to have closed its processing operations in Sydney.
The shares closed 8c higher at $2.82 yesterday.

When did you need to stop taking/reminding them

DS is in the middle of toilet training, one or two accidents here or there but generally getting the hang of it and actually enjoying it (he was 3 in October). I am taking him to the toilet every hour or so and rewarding with a sticker which he loves, but it is me doing the reminding and asking - he isn't telling me he needs to go yet. I have only been at it for the last 3 days so know it's early days, but just interested when you found your little one started to tell they needed to go?
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:35 PM
My son's 3 and 1/2 and still doesn't ask/tell . Will just wet himself . Drives me nuts! We live in hope.....
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:42 PM
My DS is 4 and he will go 70-80% off the time on his own, but if he is concentrating on something he will forget and start doing a dance, at which time I will tell him to go.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:46 PM
DD is 3 and a half and generally tells me when she wants to go.
Though, she can go almost all day without peeing which drives me crazy and drives me to reminding her a fair bit.
She is sort of night-trained, but more so because she doesn't need to go very often. Most mornings she wakes up dry, some mornings she wakes up and tells me she needs to go, once or twice she has wet the bed (and slept through it, which is what tells me she isn't night trained as such)
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:47 PM
There is a school of thought that you shouldn't take them every hour. Because that's not toilet training. If their bladder is never given a chance to fill up, then they'll never know when they need to go, and as soon as you stop taking them every hour, they'll have an accident. Toilet training is about building bladder/bowel capacity and the ability to 'hold on' as much as physically going in a toilet.
Personally, I sit on the fence. I do think there is a role for taking the kids often at the start, to normalize using the toilet, and to just get them comfortable with it. But at some point you also need to 'risk' the accident by not taking him so that he starts to learn what a full bladder feels like and asks to go, and then learns to hold on.
DS1 decided that he no longer wanted nappies. Two accidents later and he was fully day trained. It was another six months for night training (the key there being him bing happy to get out of bed and go to the toilet).
Perhaps choose a day to let him have a few accidents, expect them, be kind when it happens and point out the feeling right before, and that being the feeling he needs to wee. He should get it pretty quickly
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:51 PM
Took DD1 2 weeks before reminders decreased. DD1 took 1 week. After that I would remind then if engrossed in an activity or before going out. I found their bladder capacity improved over a few weeks.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:53 PM
About 2 1/2 but he was trained early at 20 months. He would just ask to go or run to the toilet....or outside on the grass
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:54 PM
If you're my Mum, you'll never stop reminding people to go to the toilet.
Even after I turned 30, she still occasionally suggests I need to go to the toilet before going out somewhere if we leave from her place!
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:57 PM
I am of the school of thought that toileting them hourly is keeping the bladder empty (if they go) and not teaching them how to hold onto their urine and release it when their bladder is full.
I know people will disagree but I learnt by my mistakes and my children who TT when they were ready and not when I thought they should be were TT's easily with few, if any accidents and in just a couple of days.
Our 5 TT'd between 19 months and 3 and a bit. The 19 month old was still peeing her pants for over a year after I thought she needed to be out of nappies.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:58 PM
Like MsN I would not be taking every hour. I will only suggest to my kids to go if I know I am going for a long drive/ will be out for hours.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:59 PM
I still remind all 3 of mine when we are going out, especially if we don't know what the facilities are like at our destination, or when we got to a particular park with no facilities.
When they were training, it probably took a bit longer than you're hoping (6 weeks+), but mine all trained before they were 2. The quickest was also the one who trained the earliest and was 100% day trained at 20 months.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 08:32 PM
During the first week of training my 2.5 year old, I just reminded him that he had no nappy on and to visit the potty if he needed to wee or poo. In that first week, if it was more than 2 hours since he had wee-ed, then I would encourage him to go more directly. I backed off with the reminders during the second week.
My twins were day and night trained at 2 years and 2 weeks but I have a fuzzy memory that I was reminding them for quite a bit longer - possibly a month or so?
I think it may be beneficial to back off with the reminders (try every 2 hours then every 3 hours then drop them all together).Just be attentive to any rising anxiety and be gentle with how quickly you back off. He may even go backwards for a while. I always think if they are not having accidents then they are not learning how full a bladder is too full. I think it takes quite a few accidents before they can push that "stop-what-I-am-doing-and-go-now" thought to the top of their "to-do" list. Also be careful if he starts to not care that he has had an accident. I am not sure what helps in that case because all my boys were mildly upset when they had a wee accident (possibly because we have polished timber floors and I have always asked them to clean up water spills so no one accidentally slips over).
I must admit though I am much like NinjaMum's mum and I still do ask the whole family (including DH) to follow the going out routine where we all "put on our shoes, put on our hats, and do our going out wee"!
Posted 01 January 2013 - 08:45 PM
DS never actually told me he wanted to go. I set him up by taking him every couple of hours, or when I was going, and just responded to accidents by talking about how wees and poos go in the toilet. I got him to come with me to put poo in the toilet and wash hands as well.
Then I would leave the toilet permanently set up with the step stool there and the insert ready to go, adn remind him periodically that it was ready for him. One day he just got up took his pants off and climbed up, and since then we've had barely any accidents. I don't even need to remind him before we go out if it's a short drive.
He will tell me he wants to go in a foreign environment, but at home he just toddles off and calls me to help wipe and wash hands. I do wish I could get him to be more agreeable about putting undies back on, but apparently that's a boy thing.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 08:49 PM
I only reminded them for a couple of days. Other than that it was only if we were about to go out, I would make them go before we left home.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 08:50 PM
Are you sure he is ready to TT. What you are doing is "toilet timing", plonking him on the toilet at set intervals in the hopes that you will catch it. Kids will always need reminding sometimes (my 9 year old still does ) but I knew they were ready to TT when they told me they wanted to go.
DD3 (3.5) has been out of daytime nappies for a year. She still has what we term "the wee dance" as, if she is busy or occupied she does a little jig and if you tell her to go to the toilet she says "I don't need to, I'm just dancing" Soon after she will run off in a big big hurry
Posted 01 January 2013 - 09:07 PM
Gosh like everything this is so hard. He is showing signs of being ready, dry in mornings, telling me he has done a wee and wanting it changed so thought that was part of him being ready. I was told for the first few days just get him into it by taking him and teaching him what you do - I do think he actually has bladder control as we had him out this afternoon and he had pull ups on and was dry. I guess I need to now test what he does when I don't ask him.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 09:09 PM
Once DD got the hang of toilet training after a week or so, she didn't need reminding.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 09:26 PM
I would keep trying for a few weeks, some kids get it quicker than others.
My DS2 was and still is atrocious, and he is 6.5. He holds on and on and on as he doesn't want to miss out on anything. In the early days if I didn't remind him then he would have an accident. I still have to remind him to go (no accidents these days but when he has to go - he has to go !!).

This, I thought he was never going to get there, at 4 he just didnt care at 4 and 2 month we are getting there and he is dry at night
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:00 PM
This will be my DD's 2nd week of TT (day time only though) and the first week I would remind her to keep her knickers dry and clean. I would put her on potty on getting up and she will do a wee and then from then verbally remind her about staying dry and praise her on being a big girl wearing no nappies. If she hadnt been for 2 hours I would ask her to sit on potty, if she was to do something she does it in 5 mins I allow her to sit on the potty. Towards the end of the week she was getting on potty doing wee's, if it were the smallest dribble on her own to get the reward but we have backed off on the reward a little but still making a fuss as we dont want her to get a UTI from going too many times just for the reward. This week she is holding for 2-4hrs but still needs a verbal reminder. We have had 2 wet accidents thus far - expecting more so very proud. She is doing no 2's in potty too which I feel is great as some children wont do no 2's in it straight up.
I am will do night time training once she wakes up dry for at least 3 nights straight but I think that may be another few months yet.

Evil DeadClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Evil Dead is a remake of Sam Raimi's classic early-'80s horror movie The Evil Dead. Like the original, it's filled with over-the-top gore, including spraying, dripping, and raining blood; stabbing; slicing; bashing; shooting (with both nail guns and regular guns); burning; and scalding. Dead cats and a dead dog are shown, and the infamous "tree rape" scene from the original is repeated here, though it's slightly less graphic this time around. On the other hand, language is stronger here than in the original, with both spoken and printed uses of "f--k" and "s--t." And a main character is a drug addict who's attempting to kick her habit; she's shown dumping a packet of heroin and going through withdrawals, but she isn't shown taking drugs. Sexuality isn't much of an issue, though minor suggestion is seen/heard.
- Sexual Content
- It appears as if some of the characters are in relationships, but very little is made of this, with little affection/kissing shown. One character uses the sexually suggestive phrase "bumping uglies" in passing.
- Violence
- Extreme, over-the-top gore, including gallons of dripping, spraying, vomiting, and raining blood; fighting; bashing with hard objects; slicing and stabbing; shooting (with both nail guns and regular guns); burning alive; severed limbs; and being scalded with hot water. Dead cats and a dead dog are shown. The infamous "tree rape" scene from the original movie is repeated here (a tree's branches violate a female character), but it's slightly less graphic.
- Language
- Much of the language is seen in print, in the "book of the dead." Words include "f--k," "motherf----r," and "bitch." But characters also say "f--k," as well as "s--t," "hell," "damn," "oh my God," and "a--holes." A demon uses "c--t" and "c--k" once each, but in a "demonic" voice that isn't always clear.
- Social Behavior
- An older brother learns how to be present to help out his family members, improving on an earlier failure to visit his mom in the hospital. His sister yearns to stop her drug addiction, enlisting the aid of her closest friends and family to help. Unfortunately, teamwork between the siblings and the other characters doesn't always go very smoothly.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- The movie's main character is a young adult drug addict who's trying to kick her habit. She dumps a packet of what appears to be heroin down a well as she vows to quit. She's never shown taking drugs, but she does suffer DTs during the course of the movie. She's also seen smoking a cigarette in one scene.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

As clear as photographs may be, their use can turn unruly. One example: Marc Adelman's Stelen (2007–11), an installation of 50 appropriated snapshots on view at The Jewish Museum before being withdrawn last summer. At issue: photos of men posing among the pillars of Berlin's Holocaust Memorial used as their profile pictures on GayRomeo.com, a European social community and dating site. The problem: like so many digital images that won't stay put, as their context changed so did their meaning and impact.
Adelman describes Stelen as "an inquiry into history, remembrance, and desire," and what caught his attention on a website accessible to anyone motivated enough to sign in is understandable. Seven decades after homosexuals were persecuted in Nazi Germany, gay men chose to be depicted in photos that, perhaps for some, were figurative screw-you gestures made at a site where "desire is least expected to surface." Adelman, whose work explores how images function in relation to gay people, repurposed some of them, a decades-old tactic that has made and complicated more than a few careers.
Digital images, like desire, have a way of popping up and triggering problems, as did Adelman's piece, his first to be acquired by a museum. At first, one person represented in it, upset at being outed by the display of his image, threatened legal action. Then two more men did. The Museum and Adelman worked briefly and in tandem to resolve the legal, ethical, and privacy issues that flared up before things went awry. One can argue that a gay artist exploring gay issues should have been more sensitive to outing people in a hyperlinked world where homosexuality is still vilified, criminalized, and, in some places, punishable by death. One can argue that given Adelman's offers to rethink and reconfigure his piece, the Museum should have operated more in problem-solving than in crisis-management mode. One can argue that, today, it is naïve for anyone to believe that "private" images will stay private once they're online, but not that many years ago—when many of the images on GayRomeo.com were uploaded—people may have assumed more privacy for, and control over, the images made by or of them.
Those days are gone. Last year, for example, two New Jersey men were justifiably horrified to discover that a photograph of them kissing on their wedding day had been copied, photoshopped, and used to illustrate smear attacks against two of Colorado's pro-gay politicians who were up for election last fall. The couple and their wedding photographer quickly launched a lawsuit. One can just as easily imagine a similar response by someone depicted in Stelen and argue that Adelman should have contacted the people depicted in the pictures he used, explained his intentions, and gotten permission to use their likenesses in it. But he didn't. As digital technology makes the appropriation of images easy and almost instinctual, the issues surrounding the ethical and legal use of those images are guaranteed to keep making waves and the news.
As for the images in question, who literally holds the right to use and/or control them? It's complicated. In most cases, it is the photographer who takes them (assuming that a human was holding the camera, in the first place.) But then what kind of power, if any, do or should the people depicted in them hold? What responsibilities should govern the display, storage, distribution, or ownership of those images, in one form or another? And what of viewers whose responses to them, like privacy laws themselves, may vary from one country, culture, and sub-culture to another? We say we want artists to be provocative, but as the controversy around Stelen makes clear, there are lines we are not comfortable stepping over. Who decides and enforces what those lines are or should be? Do artists need to more thoughtfully consider how their works may reverberate outside the borders of the art world? Will museums in the not-so-distant-future require artists to show due diligence and sign indemnification clauses (like publishers require authors to do) before the exhibition or acquisition of their work?
Photographic images not only describe but now increasingly define and shape private and public life. They spread with lightning speed, are remarkably malleable, and spark responses from joy to outrage, all of which insures that our interactions with them will only grow more complex. If the situation surrounding Stelen got messy and the ethical and moral questions that were triggered are still unsettling, it's a sign of the power of photography on and in our lives and a reminder, as this online project illustrates, that we are destined to re-examine and keep talking about that.
What are the ethical concerns for artists who appropriate images from the Internet? To what extent should artists consider privacy, the personal safety of their subjects, and First Amendment rights?

Public History M.A. and Ph.D.
The History Department offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in history with a concentration in Public History. The Public History Program (PHP) provides training for historians who intend to pursue careers in academic settings and in a variety of nonprofit, public service, community based, and private-sector organizations. Generally, the mission of public historians is to work with multiple publics to document and interpret the past for the present, and also to preserve it for the future.
Careers may span one or several of the following purposes. They may be documentary in intent, including archival collections and management, film and digital media presentation, oral history, and institutional or corporate history. Curatorial work encompasses exhibitions, educational activities, and public programs at museums, historic sites, and other venues. Historic preservation and cultural resources management are aimed towards planning for and conservation of historic sites, buildings, objects, and natural and cultural landscapes. Practitioners in these areas often participate in public policy making, and in the tourism industry as well. Many people who work in public history are committed to public service and social justice, and use history to make a difference in contemporary society.
Through coursework, hands-on classes called practicum, internships, and other for-credit applied projects, PHP students gain training in historical research and writing as well as exposure to a great variety of professional practices. The curriculum is flexible, enabling students to shape their M.A. and Ph.D. fields to best fit their interest. It acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of public history and affords students ample opportunities to study in related fields of art and architectural history, anthropology and archaeology, dance and performance studies, media and cultural studies, English literature, public policy, and sociology, among others.
Applicants to PHP should have a B.A. in History. Those with a B.A. in other areas will be accepted if they can demonstrate a satisfactory knowledge of history.
Requirements for the M.A. degree in the Public History Program
Students can receive an M.A. degree in history with fields of concentration in archival management, historic preservation, or museum studies. To do so, they must:
- Complete a minimum of 40 units in upper-division and graduate course work. These include reading and research seminars and specialized public history seminars and practicum.
- Complete a ten-week internship that provides supervised professional training. Internships are arranged according to the student's interests. The internship requires writing a field report.
- All students must complete HIST 398-I Internship in Public History and HIST 402 Professional Practice for the Public Historian, which do not count towards the unit requirement.
- Pass an oral examination. The first part of the exam will cover the field report in progress; the second part will be on the candidate's areas of historical specialization.
- Courses in the PHP are taught by regular faculty and by adjunct professors of history who are professionals in nonacademic institutions, such as archives, museums, and historic preservation organizations, with outstanding achievement and expertise in their fields. PHP students may continue on for the doctorate at UC Riverside. Admittance to the Ph.D. program will be based on their performance in the program.
Requirements for the Ph.D. with a field of concentration in Public History:
Students can receive a Ph.D. in history with a research or complementary field in public history. To do so, they must complete the requirements for the Ph.D. in history, including preparation and examination in a research or complementary field in public history. Their dissertation may be on a topic related to some aspect of public history.
For more information about the fields of study and detailed requirements please consult the UCR General Catalog.
