Patrick Keilty holds a Ph.D. in Information Studies, concentration in Women's Studies (now Gender Studies), from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has previously been a Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh and Lecturer in the Department of Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has received additional education at the School of Criticism and Theory, Cornell University; the Art Center College of Design; and the California Rare Book School. He has worked at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library (UCLA), American Library Association's Washington Office, American University Library, Library of Congress, and the City of Westminster Archives Centre (London, UK). He teaches courses on culture and technology, gender and sexuality, metadata, critical theory, and information structures.
He has lived in Los Angeles, Washington, DC, London (UK), and Johannesburg, and spent his childhood in Alta Loma, California. His parents are retired school teachers and his brother is a craft brewer in Portland, Oregon.
Research highlight
Professor Keilty's research considers what digital technologies mean for feminist and queer politics, art, and culture. He particularly focuses on visual culture, metadata and databases, embodiment, stylistics of the self, sexual representation, fetishistic networks, and the philosophy of science and technology. His monograph project examines and critiques the way computer technologies alter our subjectivity.

My writing examines and critiques culture and technology, digital culture, metadata, human-computer interaction, and documentation, with particular interest in feminist and queer engagements with electronic technology, including politics, visual culture, embodiment, stylistics of the self, sexual representation, and philosophy of science and technology. With Rebecca Dean, I am co-editor of Feminist and Queer Information Studies Reader (forthcoming). In addition, I am preparing a monograph, entitled Seeking Sex: Embodiment and Electronic Culture, which examines how the Internet has reconstituted our ways of being sexual. My publications and presentations have appeared in Knowledge Organization, Proceedings of the iConference, the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, Congress on Research in Dance, Advances in Classification Research Online, American Society for Information Science & Technology, the Ethics of Information Organization, InterActions, Thinking Gender, and the Los Angeles Queer Studies Conference. For 2013-2014, in my capacity as Co-Chair of iSchool Colloquia, I am preparing a year-long series of colloquia entitled "Feminist and Queer Approaches to Technoscience," which brings together a variety of academic units at UofT as co-sponsors, including the Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies, the Women and Gender Studies Institute, the Centre for the Study of the United States, and the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology.
My monograph project engages the question of what subjective experiences, specifically embodiment, mean for human-computer interaction. It uses existential phenomenology to examine the ways in which the Internet has re-constituted many of our personal and social experiences. It initiates a conversation between information studies, sexuality studies, technology studies, and media studies to improve on the many quantitative and cognitive modes of description of our "human-computer interaction" by emphasizing the ways in which our bodies, in addition to conscious, reflective thought, engage in electronic media. These kinds of encounters with technology do not adhere easily to the scientific, behaviorist, and positivist modes of description that have long dominated information studies. I show that computer technologies and their attendant networks of communication (including televisual, audiovisual, cinematic, and photographic) are part of our lives and help constitute our embodied existence in ways that are socially pervasive and profoundly personal. They are never merely used, never merely instrumental. It is, therefore, not an exaggeration to say that encounters with the objective phenomena of computer technologies transform us as embodied subjects and alter our subjectivity.

A $5-6 million renovation will not only revitalize the Piedmont Shopping Center but the surrounding neighborhood as well. According to new property owner Steve Glenn, it's one of the oldest shopping centers of its kind in Lincoln.
At more than 50 years old, the Piedmont shops have seen better days.
"We saw how it had really been in a spiral of decline and we were worried about that," said Joel Grenemeier, The Photo Shop Lab Manager.
But store owners are excited to have a shopping center look like what the quality of the stores actually are.
"It's just going to be a revitalization of this whole neighborhood. And it'll bring this strip mall back to business again," said Jay Haes, Ole's Boot and Shoe Repair Owner.
Many of the store fronts are empty at the moment, but with a little care, Glenn hopes to make it a place people come for clothing, food, and anything else they may need.
"And allow us to literally make it the gem of Lincoln and we think we can bring it back to its glory days," said Glenn.
Some of the renovations in the project include repaving of the sidewalks and parking lot, new awnings, small gardens, and antique lights around the parking lot to bring back memories of when the shops first opened in the 1950's.
Crews won't tear down the original building, instead they will renovate the outside to give it the new look.
"Really excited about it. The people down at the coffee shop are talking about it, all the customers are pretty excited to see what happens around here too. We're looking forward to it," said Grenemeier.
Glenn hopes the project is done midway through next year.

N. Korean survivor: Don't repeat Holocaust-era inaction
By CNAAN LIPHSHIZ/JTA
06/22/2013 09:47
"Adolf Hitler and the Nazis mostly killed people they did not see as their own, but in North Korea our people are doing this to each other," Dong-hyuk says.

BRUSSELS — When guards dragged Shin Dong-hyuk from his North Korean cell in 1995, he was pretty sure the end was near.
Dong-hyuk, then just 13, was born in the prison known as Camp 14, not far from Pyongyang. Camp 14 is part of a network of political prisons believed to be the largest in the world, where an estimated 150,000 dissidents and their families live in conditions reminiscent of Holocaust-era concentration camps.
As he was brought to the camp's execution field, Dong-hyuk realized he wasn't the one due to be killed that day — it was his mother and brother. The boy calmly watched the executions, he says now, having been brainwashed into believing his family members deserved to die. After all, he was the one who had turned them in.
"They hanged her and shot him for planning to escape," Dong-hyuk, now 31, told JTA in Brussels. "I was only brought to watch."
In 2005, Dong-hyuk (pronounced dong-YUKE) became the only known survivor of Camp 14. In the years since, he has traveled the world raising the alarm about North Korea's treatment of political dissidents, including five visits to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and a meeting with survivors in 2009 at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. He plans to visit Yad Vashem in Jerusalem later this year.
Earlier this month, he addressed a European Parliament conference on North Korea's camps and was awarded the Moral Courage Award from the American Jewish Committee-affiliated group UN Watch, which considers Dong-hyuk a prime example of the human rights abuses overlooked in the world body's eagerness to focus its attention on Israel.
To date, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva has convened 19 special sessions, none on North Korea. Israel has been the subject of six — more than the Syrian civil war, in which 90,000 people are believed to have died, or the genocide in Darfur, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands, according to some estimates.
"Shin Dong-hyuk doesn't touch on our agenda, he is our agenda," said Hillel Neuer, the director of UN Watch, "drawing attention to major human rights abuses that do not receive the attention they merit."
Human rights investigators believe that many of the prisoners in North Korea's six known political prisons were either born there, like Dong-hyuk, or placed there because their families had ties to suspected dissidents. Dong-hyuk's father and grandfather were incarcerated because two of the grandfather's brothers had defected, Dong-hyuk said in a recent interview on "60 Minutes."
Dong-hyuk's accounts of his treatment at the hands of sadistic guards, and the arbitrary torture to which he was subjected, are reminiscent of Holocaust accounts. But Dong-hyuk is careful to avoid such comparisons, saying the only thing Nazi camps have in common with those in North Korea is "that they never should have existed." Yet he feels a certain kinship with survivors of the Nazis.
"Through the horrific stories of Holocaust survivors, I could see my own life in the prison camps," Dong-hyuk said. "I could see my own experiences in theirs."
Yoon Yeo-sang of the Seoul-based Database Center for North Korean Human Rights is not so reticent, likening global inaction on North Korean camps to the world's indifference to the Nazi genocide in Europe.
"What goes on in North Korea is maybe worse than the Holocaust, where the Nazis were active for 12 years," Yeo-sang said. "The enslavement of the camps in North Korea has been going on for decades."
Dong-hyuk lost a piece of his index finger as punishment for breaking a machine at a military factory where he and his family were forced to work. Another time he was given a choice between hunger and a beating. He chose the beating.
"We were constantly hungry," he said. "Some ate rats and insects to survive. I was hungry for 23 years. You wear what they tell you to wear, you eat what they tell you to eat and you do what they tell you to do."
The North Korean government has long denied the existence of political prisons, and in the absence of other escapees, there is no way to corroborate details of Dong-hyuk's story. But Yeo-sang says that Dong-hyuk's testimony is consistent with accounts by survivors from different areas.
Dong-hyuk said the trigger for his escape was meeting an inmate named Park, who had been on the other side of the electric fence and told stories of people eating pork and chickens. In the course of their escape attempt, Park was electrocuted and died on the fence. Dong-hyuk says he crawled over his friend's body to escape.
From the camp, Dong-hyuk walked to China, bribing locals to avoid detection. He now lives in South Korea, where he runs an organization, Inside NK, that tries to publicize the cause of North Korean prisoners and document the testimony of survivors.
"Too much attention goes to [the North Korean leader] Kim Jong-un and his wife and too little attention to ending the camp reality," Dong-hyuk said.
But there is also a personal reason for his devotion to the cause: Dong-hyuk says he feels guilty for betraying his mother and brother as a boy and hopes that admitting to his actions and raising awareness for other prisoners will serve as a small act of penance.
"Adolf Hitler and the Nazis mostly killed people they did not see as their own, but in North Korea our people are doing this to each other," Dong-hyuk said. "I don't know what's worse."

Mount Emei (峨嵋山) belongs to them. (i.imgur.com)

I thought monkeys were harmless until I hiked that mountain. I was crossing through one area in the evening, and some dude comes chasing after me, yelling for me to be careful, and then gave me a stick. I asked why, and he said "for the monkeys."
[–]JacobDeZoet[S] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Haha, I can imagine this! Our hostel offered us bamboo sticks that we refused. Instead I, overly optimistically, bought a bag of peanuts. Despite having them sealed and out of sight - they knew.

Don't fuck with them. They can rip your arm right out from the socket. Other than that, they cute lil furry fellers.
[–]DogPencil 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Buying a bamboo stick at the bottom of the mountain was one of the best investments of my life. I could not imagine going through the "joking monkey zones" without it. I never had to actually strike a monkey, but I was forced to intimidate a few along the way.
[–]baifan_ren 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Those monkeys are total assholes.
Yea, but I think humans shoulder a lot of the blame. How many tourists actually give them food, ignoring the signs to not do so? That's how it all started, I assume.
You're right. They are assholes.

It was crazy! In the picture you can see one of them has even stolen a women's red scarf.

Kudos for the environmental sensitivity, people.
[–]polyonymy 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
You mean the rubbish there? Actually, E Mei is one of the cleanest mountains in the whole country, from my experience.
If you mean that we should respect the monkeys a bit more, there is that, but E Mei actually has a huge section of the mountain reserved a sort of natural preserve for them. I guess the problem here is just that a few of them have been incredibly desensitised by the tourists. They can get really nasty, and they'll bite you, or tear through your pack if they smell food, which I don't think is quite normal... Anyway, I'd never hit one with a stick, if that's what you meant.

One of these jumped on my head at Emei Shan and was just perched there for about 20 seconds. They're nasty if you have food that they want.

I visited Emei for the first time yesterday with my school and I'd never been so terrified of wild animals in my life. One of the girls on my trip got bitten. One monkey walked by me and even though it completely ignored me I almost screamed.
I loved the rest of 峨眉山 though.

With :09 seconds left to go in the game and the Phoenix up 14-7, the Bitterroot Blaze were facing a 4th and goal from the 1 yard line of the Phoenix. The Blaze punched it in to get the TD, but then instead of going for the tie and overtime, they gambled and went for the 2 point conversion and the win. The Phoenix denied the attempt with a crushing hit by middle linebacker James DeCoteau, got the thrilling victory and are now advancing to the RMFL AA North Championship. The Phoenix (6-3) will travel to Great Falls to play the undefeated Gladiators (9-0) at 5pm this Saturday Filed Under: Bitterroot Blaze, Football, phoenix Category: Missoula News, Missoula-Area Sports Share on Facebook Share on Twitter More Leave a comment Send to a friend!

A former neighbor of the Webster, N.Y., sniper who killed two volunteer firemen on Christmas Eve illegally bought the guns used in the killing, federal authorities charged Friday.
Dawn M. Nguyen, 24, of Greece, N.Y., was charged in federal court with acting as a straw purchaser for William Spengler, who as a convicted felon could not legally buy guns for himself. Spengler was convicted of killing his grandmother in 1980. Nguyen also faces state felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records.
U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. said Nguyen purchased a Bushmaster .223 semi-automatic rifle and a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun from the Gander Mountain store in Rochester on June 6, 2010. But in truth, he said, she "knowingly made a false statement in connection with the purchase of the two firearms" and actually was acquiring them for Spengler.
She did not immediately enter a plea in the more serious federal case, in which she faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Spengler shot himself after killing volunteer firefighters Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, and wounding two other firemen and an off-duty police officer.
According to authorities, Spengler created a ruse by setting his car on fire in a blaze that spread to his home on Lake Road in Webster and six other houses. Spengler then opened fire on the emergency crew as they arrived at the neighborhood on the shore of Lake Ontario.
Sean J. Martineck, a special agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said in a court affidavit that authorities first learned of Nguyen from a suicide note Spengler left behind in which he said he obtained the weapons from his neighbor's daughter.
Nguyen lived next door to Spengler in 2008, two years after he was paroled for killing his grandmother.
When officials spoke with Nguyen, Martineck said, she admitted that Spengler accompanied her to the gun shop and that he "picked out the firearms Nguyen purchased." But she said she wanted the weapons for her own personal safety, and that they later were stolen from her vehicle. She never reported them stolen, however.
Finally, Martineck said, Nguyen "admitted that she purchased the guns for the guy who was her old neighbor," even though on the federal purchase form she stated the weapons were for her own use.

For too long, sports journalists glossed over football's violence. I was one of them.
Early in the 1977 NFL season, after Washington Redskins running back Bob Brunet suffered a serious neck contusion when the knee of Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Randy White hit him in the helmet, I visited him at Georgetown University Hospital.
Brunet, who grew up poor in Louisiana's Cajun country, was playing at a time when the average NFL salary was about $55,000 a year. I asked him that evening if the hit, which could have left him permanently paralyzed -- it did end his career -- had in any way made him rethink his decision to play professional football.
Absolutely not, he said.
"You're damned right I'd do it all over again," he told me at the time. "I was a poor kid from the backwoods of Louisiana, and now I've given my wife and kids security for the rest of their lives. I know I'm going to have problems from football. But I accept that. I have no regrets. None whatsoever."
The game had allowed him to graduate from Louisiana Tech, earn a good living and escape the destitution of his native Lafourche Parish. After football, he moved to Baton Rouge, opened a succesful seafood restaurant -- the Galley -- and raised his family. Most former players I've spoken to over the years view their playing days in the same way.
I covered the NFL over four decades dating back to 1972. Now semi-retired myself and five years removed from day-to-day football coverage, I have one main regret: not focusing more of my reporting and writing on the absolute brutality of the sport, particularly the painful post-football lives of so many players.
Instead, like many other sports journalists, I spent much of my career writing positive pieces about the league and its players -- puffy features and breathless accounts of thrilling victories and agonizing defeats. I certainly covered my share of serious NFL warts: mounting injuries; the use of steroids and amphetamines. But until the past decade or so, most of us glossed over the brutality of the sport. Shame on us.
Some believe that a CBS documentary, "The Violent World of Sam Huff," first aired in 1960, may have sparked the popularity of professional football. Huff was a celebrated New York Giants linebacker halfway through a Hall of Fame career at the time, and the documentary gave viewers an up-close look at the sound and fury of the pro game, using mini-microphones to pick up trash talk and the high-decibel thump of body against body, helmet against helmet.
Half a century later, a highlight-driven sports culture, fueled by ESPN's "SportsCenter" and YouTube clips, has increased the emphasis on Big Hits -- the wicked shots heard 'round the football world.
In late August, attorneys for more than 4,500 former NFL players settled a lawsuit against the league, claiming it knew about concussion issues for decades before it created its Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee in 1994.
The $765 million settlement, which some critics say does not provide nearly enough compensation, will be used for treatment of injuries, research and player compensation.
But it's not just the NFL that needs to fess up. The news media -- television, print and digital -- also must take some responsibility for frequently glorifying the unadulterated mayhem of this perilous competition. This includes all those war images in our prose: all-out blitzes, bombs down the field, defenders striking like heat-seeking missiles and head-hunting linebackers.
We should have been on this story far earlier. It's not as if this was a deep, dark secret. At every Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony each August in Canton, Ohio, it's difficult to ignore former all-pros limping, leaning on canes or rolling onto the stage in wheelchairs. In conversations with countless former players, we hear about replaced knees, hips and shoulders, surgically repaired necks and backs. Worst of all, there's clear evidence of memory loss and dementia from concussions either undiagnosed, shrugged off or totally ignored.
One player I know recalled being knocked out 10 times in his final season of football. He often was allowed to go back onto the field when he seemed to have regained his senses. That player now calls me "Buddy" because he can't remember my name, even though in 1986 I collaborated with him on a book about his life called "Tough Stuff."
His name is Sam Huff.
He's been out of the game for more than 40 years, and he competed in an era when the athletes were not nearly as big, strong and fast as today. Back then, players took the "off" in "offseason" seriously because they had to get second jobs to support their families. They used training camp to round themselves into game shape. In the modern era, training for the next season never seems to end.
Still, when Washington hosts the Chicago Bears at FedEx Field on Sunday afternoon, I'll surely be in front of a TV set, in my favorite chair and riveted to every play, just like so many other millions of fans across the country and the globe. The game is appealing and appalling at the same time. And I have no doubt that all of us, news media included, will continue to feed the beast, even if the beast keeps feeding on its own.
Shapiro is a retired sportswriter, editor and columnist at The Washington Post.

B.W. Stevenson
B.W. Stevenson
Best remembered for his 1973 smash "My Maria," singer/songwriter B.W. Stevenson (the "B.W." reportedly stood for "Buckwheat" -- his real first name was Lewis) was born October 5, 1949, in Dallas, TX. As a teen he played in a variety of local rock bands before attending college, eventually joining the U.S. Air Force; upon returning from duty Stevenson settled in the Austin area, where he became a frequent attraction on the city's thriving club circuit. Upon signing to RCA he was marketed primarily to country listeners, enjoying little success with either his 1972 self-titled debut or its follow-up, Lead Free; the title track of 1973's My Maria, however, became a Top Ten pop favorite, although ironically it missed the country charts altogether. Stevenson never again recaptured the single's success, and after 1974's Calabasas he landed at Warner Bros. to issue We Be Sailin' a year later. "Down to the Station," from 1977's Lost Feeling, was his last chart hit, and after 1980's Lifeline his recording career was over. Sadly, Stevenson died on April 28, 1988, shortly after undergoing heart surgery; he was just 38 years old. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

are you freaking kidding me
Bianca Lawson suffers from a not so rare disease called Good Black. Its a disease primarily found in women of African descent and its primary symptom is that it causes those affected to not "crack" ie- actually stop aging or in some rarer cases, to age backwards. Other's that suffer from this disease include Angela Basset, Sanaa Lathan & Halle Berry, just to name a few. Its causes aren't quite known and there is no current record of any further research for a cure. lol
This is actually a much more accurate representation of love than a photo of two people kissing could ever hope to be.
seriously it's 2013 where is this??
2013 and we can't even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. We're basically living in a dystopia.

So this is "ghetto" or "ratchet" cause you thing he's ugly yeah gtfo
I think you missed the whole point of the post
things i haven't learned in school:
-how to pay bills
-how to buy a house
-what to say in an interview
-how to apply for bank loans
but it's all fine because i know that enzymes are biological catalysts that will denature if the pH or temperature they are in is too high so i'm set for life with that really

If Jesus were to send us an invitation to one of the winter holiday celebrations (Christmas or Hanukkah), which one do you think He would invite us to attend?
Would it be the one claiming to be His birthday, even though most theologians agree that He was not born on Dec. 25? This is the same winter celebrations where families go out into the woods, cut down a tree, set it up in their home, decorate it with gold and silver baubles and place gifts under it, even though the Bible specifically tells us not to do this (Deut. 12:2; Jer. 10:1-4; Jer. 3:13; Jer. 2:20).
This is the party where they use all the customs and rituals that God tells His people not to use in His celebrations, because they are used in pagan celebrations (Deut. 12:1-5, 29-31). This is the birthday party that neither Jesus nor anyone else in the New Testament Church ever celebrated on Dec. 25.
Since Jesus never observed any of these feasts and the Bible commands us specifically not to celebrate them, I don't think Jesus would invited us to this winter holiday celebration.
Or would Jesus invite us to the winter Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah) that celebrates religious freedom and the rededication of the temple after it was defiled by the Antiochus Epiphanies (Daniel 8 and 9; 1 Maccabees 4:52-59). This a celebration that Jesus Himself celebrated in the Temple, during which He first revealed that He was the Messiah (John 10:22-30).
Jesus also said events surrounding this holiday would repeat themselves in the future and would be a sign that His return was drawing near.
This winter celebration lasts for eight days in the same manner as the Feast of Sukkot (2 Maccabees 10:6-7). Sukkot, or the Fest of Tabernacles, is one of God's high holy days that Jesus also celebrated (John 7:37-39). In fact, Jesus celebrated all seven of the Lord's Feasts recorded in Leviticus 23, of which, He fulfilled four of them at His first coming. The Apostles and the New Testament Church also observed the Feasts of the Lord rather than the non-biblical secular holidays containing pagan customs and ritual (Acts 2:1-4; Acts 20:16; 1 Cor. 5:7-8; 1 Cor. 16:8).
What winter holiday celebration do I think Jesus would invite us to? I believe it would be the one that He actually celebrated. I also believe He would invited us to all the other biblical Feasts of the Lord that celebrate His life, death and resurrection, and not the counterfeits that come in His name. The truth is, He has already sent us an invitation to all His Feasts ... It's called the Bible.

The beating death last September of Lisa Ann Simmons is even more tragic now that we have learned the Cumberland Police Department was not dispatched to a complaint about the assault.
Concert Association season will bring stars to Cumberland
It's hard to believe we are less than three weeks from the end of 2013 and we are already deep into the winter cold weather. It's dark at 5 p.m. and it seems that the line "long winter's nap" is evident in Cumberland. Or is it?

One small gesture helps bring back the spirit of Christmas
It's Christmas — this year I have been particularly disenchanted with it — everything has been on hyperspeed to meet all the deadlines, etc., the economy, just a boatload of extra anxiety plus missing my mother, who passed this year — the Christmas spirit just wasn't in me — until yesterday!
Why are people still trying to take Christ out of Christmas?
I have a question for everyone and that is, why are some trying to take Christ out of Christmas from one year to the next?
It's time to bury the idea of endless war
Our 10 years of brutal and unnecessary wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have left tens of thousands of innocent civilians dead and wounded, forced over four million Iraqis into either internal or external exile, killed thousands of U.S. troops, grievously wounding many times that number, and wasted untold billions of dollars.
Have great times, but keep in mind the reason for Christmas
His name is Jesus! Let's all celebrate Christmas with Jesus in mind this season. Jesus Christ is born.

We once had a cat, who was a few bricks short of a load it must be said, that liked to lay around on his back all the time. We just chalked it up as one of his many un-cat-like behaviours. Then we went to the zoo and saw the lions doing the same thing! That's the thing about cats: each one still regards himself as an apex predator.
