"I got this bumper after a family member was involved in a wreck, in my truck. Decided to buy this from CARiD because of the good pice for shipping. This looks great on my 06 Sierra and fits like a glove. I did have to cut a bit off of my fender flares but with a little work it ended up flush and looking great."

BVB Marketing Showcase
PITTSFIELD -- In calendar year 2011, travelers spent an estimated $345 million (a 5.7-percent increase over 2010) in Berkshire County and this growth continued in 2012 with the lodging industry showing a 4.6 percent growth in room revenue through August. In order to continue the momentum, the Berkshire Visitors Bureau unveils its 2013 Strategic Marketing Campaign for the region at its annual meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at Elm Court Estate in Lenox.
Prior to the meeting, the BVB provides an opportunity for businesses to talk one-on-one with media reps at its annual Marketing Showcase, where more than 20 local and national media will be represented. These two events combined are the best opportunity for businesses to learn how they can piggy-back on the Bureau's plans to raise awareness of the Berkshires as a premier destination and to make informed decisions for their own 2013 marketing plans.
This event begins at 5 p.m. with the Marketing Showcase and the Berkshire Visitors Bureau Annual Meeting follows at 6 p.m. This event is free for Bureau members and their employees. For more information or to RSVP: 413-743-4500, email@example.com.

Colorado's energy industry trade group is now involved on three fronts with lawsuits over voter approved fracking bans or moratoriums. The latest move involved the announcement of suits against Lafayette and Fort Collins.
A lawsuit is already pending against the city of Longmont for a ban approved in 2012. Some in the state say a lawsuit is the wrong way to go.
A new study from the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business shows that it may be difficult to quantify how droughts, fires and floods are impacting the state's economy over the long term. But it's safe to say natural disasters are already influencing public policy and are requiring communities to shift their thinking. Bente Birkeland has more from the state capitol.
A complex series of agreements govern the distribution of water throughout the state. Along the Colorado River, farms, cities & towns, and the recreation industry are all big players. But everyone takes a backseat to a tiny hydroelectric plant that's over one hundred years old. It's the Shoshone Generating Station, and it plays a critical role on the Upper Colorado.
Update 12/05/13: The Red Cross Shelter in Black Forest has closed. Only one resident stayed on Dec. 3rd, and no residents on the 4th.
Original Post:
Colorado's budget is not structurally sound, according to a new study released yesterday. Economists from Colorado State University say over the long term, the state will spend more money than it receives. As Bente Birkeland reports, the study points to a number of causes.
Senator Mark Udall is expected in Chaffee County today to unveil new proposed legislation that looks to declare Browns Canyon a national monument and wilderness area. KRCC's Maggie Spencer has more.
The Arkansas River runs through Browns Canyon, and if passed, the bill would declare 22,000 acres of land from Nathrop to Salida a national monument and an additional 10,500 acres as protected wilderness.
Colorado's Energy industry is continuing to make the case that hydraulic fracturing is safe and a critical part of the state's economy. They're stepping up efforts following the recent passage of fracking bans and moratoriums in three Front Range communities. The outcome of a ban in Broomfield has yet to be determined.
"Merely the fact that they qualified shows that there's not enough education out there on these issues," said Jon Haubert, spokesman for Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development – or CRED.
In the future, forests near Aspen and across the state will likely look a bit different. Already, mountain shrubs are replacing some Aspen stands and changing the complexion of the region. Pitkin County is now tracking these shifts on open space properties. Two Aspen-area non-profit organizations are helping. The new data is thanks to a pair of towers that's tracking things like soil moisture and temperature. Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen reports.
Theater projectors are going where most of the dazzling special effects in summer blockbusters have gone: All digital. In 2014, Hollywood will no longer release movies on traditional film stock. Theaters must convert or be forced to close – including those in rural Colorado.
That's easier said than done in smaller towns versus a big city cineplex. Colorado is putting up $200,000 to try and save 13 rural movie theaters.
CDOT's I-25 expansion project is working to add a 3rd lane in each direction between Colorado Springs and Monument by the end of the year. As KRCC's Maggie Spencer reports, the recent winter weather is slowing progress.
The department planned to complete construction on the section between Woodmen Road and Interquest Parkway by Thanksgiving. CDOT spokesman Bob Wilson says much of the necessary work to do so is not possible during wet and cold conditions.
The Centers for Disease Control says Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. KRCC's Andrea Chalfin is joined this month by Major Douglas Langford, a neurologist at Fort Carson. They start by defining what Alzheimer's is and how it's different from other forms of dementia, or even just getting older.
For more information:
Sunday's mining accident near Ouray was one of the worst in recent Colorado history. Two miners died and nearly two dozen were injured. More details about what happened are starting to come out. Reporter Samantha Wright with the Telluride Watch newspapers has been covering the accident. Aspen Public Radio's Elise Thatcher spoke with her about the emerging details. Listen here:
El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa is disputing statements made by Black Forest Fire Chief Bob Harvey that this summer's wildfire that destroyed more than 500 homes and killed two people was caused by humans and "likely intentional."
Less than a year away from the 2014 election, a new poll from Quinnipiac University shows Governor John Hickenlooper edging out his Republican challengers, but as Bente Birkeland reports, reaction is also mixed to some of his policies.
Residents of Pueblo and Colorado Springs get to weigh in on a high speed rail study that looks at transportation from Pueblo to Fort Collins via the Denver International Airport. KRCC's Martha Perez-Sanz has more.
The study looked at existing high speed rail technologies and various impacts and feasibility issues. It comes from the Colorado Department of Transportation's Division of Transit and Rail.
Originally published on Mon November 18, 2013 3:15 pm
Calling them 'groundbreaking,' Governor John Hickenlooper proposed new statewide air quality rules for oil and gas drilling Monday. The rules aim to reduce air pollution from methane emissions.

In Colorado, farmers are scrambling to recover from September's historic floods — floods that decimated miles of roadways, cut off entire towns and sent rivers and creeks into areas they'd never been before.
Like Tim Foster's immaculate front yard.
"It was beautiful," he says. "I had four large blue spruces. We had hundred-year-old cottonwoods all along the bank. We had our irrigation and our pumps. It was just gorgeous."
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife commission talked drones at their meeting last week in Lamar. As KRCC's Maggie Spencer reports, any potential vote won't happen until next year.
The Commission is looking ahead with regards to the use of drones in hunting. Spokesman Randy Hampton says they've not seen it in the field yet, but the commission is looking to implement proactive regulation.
Originally published on Mon November 18, 2013 5:43 pm
One of the men killed at the Revenue-Virginius mine in Ouray, Colo., on Sunday was trying to find the other miner who died.
New details of the incident from the Mine Safety and Health Administration were released Monday. The agency says in a statement that "preliminary information" indicates "that a miner entered an area of the mine where an explosive had been previously detonated."
Colorado Springs' District-11 School Board approved the sale of Abraham Lincoln Elementary to a local developer in a unanimous vote Wednesday. KRCC's Kate Dunn has more.
Lincoln Elementary shut its doors in May after the district decided to consolidate several underused schools.
School Board Director Al Loma says local developer Bob Elliott's proposal would re-purpose the school building and turn it into a mixed-use space for businesses, senior living, and eateries.
Colorado Republicans say they're putting in a bid for the state to host the next Republican National Convention in 2016. As Bente Birkeland reports, planning is still in the early stages and already several western cities are also competing for the chance to host.
State lawmakers will review proposed bills to deal with water issues, wildfires and poverty today. The measures are the product of months of hearings at the state capitol. Bente Birkeland has more.
The use of drones to help hunt wildlife may soon be illegal. KRCC's Eliza Densmore reports.
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles to help locate and kill game is not regulated, but the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission is expected to take up the issue before the practice becomes popular.
Director of the Colorado Outfitters Association Dick Ray says he sees the possible move as proactive and that drones take away from the true purpose of hunting.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has released 60 new trail maps that now highlight new trail uses and features. KRCC's Maggie Spencer has more.
The new trail maps integrate more information than the earlier versions and are now online.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton says the maps' compatibility to GPS make them more helpful to trail users.
Permits to cut down a holiday tree on public land are up for sale again. As KRCC's Eliza Densmore reports, some are available now.
The Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service are selling $10 permits with a limit of two per household. Tree-cutting isn't allowed in wilderness areas, wilderness study areas, or at developed campgrounds, but US Forest Service spokeswoman Barb Timock says the annual practice is aldo beneficial the environment.
Pueblo County has released a new interactive map showing flood damage for the past year. KRCC's Eliza Densmore reports.
The main purpose of the map is to share information with state agencies and FEMA.
Colorado voters support taxing recreational marijuana, but gave a crushing defeat to a proposed billion-dollar tax increase for public schools. In this special election edition of Capitol Conversation, Bente Birkeland analyzes the long- term impacts of the election results with political reporters.
Colorado voters gave a mixed reaction at the ballot box on a pair of statewide tax increases during yesterday's election. As Bente Birkeland reports, voters didn't want to tax themselves to pay for education, but were overwhelmingly willing to tax recreational marijuana to help rebuild schools.
Supporters of Amendment 66 waged a vigorous get out the vote campaign flush with outside money from the likes of Bill Gates and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
It wasn't enough to convince voters to say "yes."
Colorado voters have until 7 tonight to turn in their ballots in today's election. For nearly a month, El Paso and Pueblo County Clerks have been collecting mail-in ballots.
Despite a slow start, Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert Ortiz is optimistic about the turnout.
"I was really nervous going into today," said Ortiz, "because the voter turnout really wasn't doing very well and it was pretty slow here in Pueblo County. We're really excited, the last two days have been very heavy, and the voter turn out has gotten up above average."
The USA Pro Challenge cycling race will return to Colorado Springs next year after the city was left out of this year's race. As KRCC's Maggie Spencer reports, that's not the only regional location hosting a stage next year.
Cyclists will face a circuit race in Colorado Springs in the 4th stage of the event after ending the previous day's ride atop Monarch Mountain.
After a one-year hiatus, Amy Long with the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitor's Bureau says they're expecting even more excitement around next year's event.

The best offense is a good defense. We've all heard this cliche associated with things like sports or martial arts, but it applies to the world of psionics as well. The most fundamental way of protecting oneself against the outside world is a shield. Just like psi balls, they can be programmed to do an unlimited number of tasks, ranging from simply stopping negative energy from entering your body, to interpreting different types energy and responding to each on an individual basis. The average psion doesn't have a dictionary of hundreds of shields in their head for different situations - we each have a small database of regularly practiced shields that can be "tweaked" slightly to fit a given scenario. I, myself, use roughly three different types of shields on a given day, but also have a few advanced shields in mind "just in case".
The most common shield I use is referred to as the Bubble Shield.
Bubble Shields are easy to make and can hold up against everyday annoyances. I primarily use them for blocking "normal" humans' empathetic projections. Regulating how solid the shield is dictates how much empathetic information I receive from my environment. I've personally had trouble using them for blocking telepathic information, but keep in mind, my telepathic experiences are very limited. Bubble Shields are also useful against humans who subconsciously leach energy from others. Basically, in those situations, your shield has to only be more powerful than the person's next to you. The "leach" will generally go for the easy target and not even bother with you.
I use two techniques to create Bubble Shields (though sometimes I do outlandish things just to spice it up little :)).
The first is a simple visualization of a shell building from the ground to up, around your body, and finally meeting up over your head. Eggshells and plastic bubbles are typical visualizations. |
The second generates the shield from inside the abs, and expands it until it's around the entire body. This is useful for pushing energy off of you, while the first might trap it inside the shield. |
Unfortunately, you can't just learn the Bubble Shield and be set for life. If you engage in any psychic combat, you'll find that your Bubble Shield doesn't amount to crap. A focused attack can go right through or shatter it, depending on the attackers skill and objective. Reconstructing and maintaining it during a fight isn't worth the effort. As mentioned above, the Bubble Shield is very basic. It's great for everyday problems, but for more serious events, it's wiser to make a better type of shield, than trying to hold together a small Bubble Shield.
One shield I'd like to discuss has a specific purpose. I invented it a year or so ago when I nearly got hit by lightning a couple times in a row, and still use it every time there's a storm outside. It has no formal name as far as I know, but I call it the Diffuse Shield.
As implied above, I use this shield for fending off lightning. It started when I was first dabbling in energy manipulation. The first time, I was home alone at night, and it was storming pretty heavy out. I was playing around with psi balls and throwing them around, when I bolt of lighting hit within 30 yards of my house. I didn't see it directly, but everything lit up (and I mean EVERYTHING - I was blinded for about twenty seconds), and my entire house rattled and vibrated. I was scared shitless, of course, so I stopped practicing psi balls until the storm was over. Thinking it could have been a fluke, I didn't worry about it after that.
After a couple of similar experiences, I didn't take any action until the last time (I think almost a year ago exactly). I was outside, and it wasn't storming at all. There were clouds above, but no rain and no lightning. I suddenly heard a "click click click" sound and looked up. For some reason I dove into the garage (I don't remember seeing anything), and the lightning nearly hit me again. As before, everything shook and our house was rattling like crazy. Being nearly hit while it wasn't even raining made me think it wasn't just a "coincidence". I didn't know exactly how the lightning was targeting me, but I figured that I must be giving off a different charge (of some sort) than my surrounding environment. To solve this, I kept my internal charge the same (whatever it was), but made a shield to "diffuse" my charge into my environments charge. Any energy I emitted would be the same as my environment, but my energy would still be the same. I assume it's worked because I've yet to have another experience like that, but I do have to create the shield every time it starts to look like it's going to rain. Of course, I'd rather do that than get struck by lightning, so I don't complain :P.
The technique is simple and the shield can be created in about the same amount of time as a Bubble Shield. First I create a thick Bubble Shield (not necessarily strong, just thick). Then I push some parts out to form a spike, and some parts in to form a spike. When I'm finished, it's similar to a furry ball - the spikes becoming so thin they're like fibers. It's made very "loose" and the fibers flow around freely. (I apologize for the cheesy animation :P) , it's much easier to visualize than it is to draw). |
I've yet to find another use for this shield other than the one stated. It'll fall apart in an hour or so (depending how you program it), and I can't think of any way it would be useful in a combat situation. Nonetheless, it's served it's purpose: I've yet to be struck :) . If you find yourself in a situation similar to mine, give this shield a try.
While the Diffuse Shield is made for a very specific purpose, the next shield I'm going to discuss can be used for a variety of applications. It's commonly referred to as the Mirror Shield because of its ability to bounce incoming energy in the opposite direction.
To be completely honest, I have little experience with this type of shield. I've used it on occasion while "sparring" with people, but I usually like creating something more complex (mainly because the Mirror Shield is kinda boring, in my opinion :P). Despite my lack of interest, it is a popular and useful shield.
The technique is predictable given the name of the shield, but I'll go over it to be complete. Create it as you would any other shield, but program it to reflect incoming attacks. This can be accomplished by a nice "mirror" visualization or a slick silver color. There are some pitfalls to this shield that can trick-up a newbie. The first is to make sure you create it so you can send energy out through the shield. It's no good if you go to attack and your attack bounces off the inside and nails yourself. Another is to make sure you make it's on the outside of all your other shields. The reason for this is that if you create it inside a Bubble Shield, for example, and the attacker breaks through part of the Bubble Shield, the energy will bounce off, and hit the Bubble Shield again on the way out. Two hits with one stone. |
Though I personally don't find this shield "fun", it is very useful. A skilled psion can easily fend off a series of attacks with this one shield. The next shield is another simple concept, but a little harder to construct, in my opinion. I call it the Marshmallow Shield, though I'm not sure if that's the formal name .
The Marshmallow Shield is a thick, gooey, and sticky type of shield. Its primary purpose is to absorb attacks and hold them there for later. It can be programmed to de-patternize the simple attack or just spit it back out. It's hard to break because of its nature, but at best it can slow down a skilled attack.
One downfall (for me) is that it takes some time to construct properly. The visualization is simple, but it just requires a lot of energy. Basically, you want to picture a thick (probably at least one foot) wall of goo. Use semi-melted marshmallows for visualization. If you construct it in layers (which I do sometimes, to make it easier), you'll want to make sure the layers melt into each other completely - they can be a pain and separate on their own sometimes. You might want to put some Bubble Shields on the outside and inside of it if you're making it really gooey. It should hold it's own shape for some time, but it might require some maintenance depending on how you make it. |
As I stated above - it can take a while to make, even if you are somewhat skilled. It's not particularly good at handling sharp objects, but it's not meant to be used as the only line of defense. Combine it with other defensive shields to provide better protection. After it's made it can be repaired somewhat easily, so you can keep it up for long periods of time.
One shield that can be combined well with the Marshmallow Shield is the Force-Bubble Shield. It takes longer to construct, but provides some of the best protection.
In my opinion, the Force-Bubble Shield is one of the coolest out there :). Just recently I've been experimenting with Force-Bubble Constructs, and the shield version is very useful and holds up against a lot of force. I can be used in combat or in any situation where you need to physically put force on an object. The downside is that it is pretty advanced and takes a lot of time to make (in most cases). Skill in telekinesis is useful.
The visualization is fairly simple but tedious. The one I use is to visualize a bunch of "psi-bricks" stacking up and forming a brick wall around myself. You'll also need some "psi-mortar" as well to stick it all together . Also, to incorporate the idea of force, I visualize a bunch of arrows pointing outwards on the bricks. In physics, force is usually shown by an arrow, so it works well for me (having a somewhat scientific mind). Think of something that means "force" to you and use it. The key isn't necessarily the visualization, but the practice. This shield takes a lot of skill to construct properly. |
The Force-Bubble Shield is extremely useful and powerful. While the previous combat shields address the issue of dealing with an attack, the last shield's purpose is to help you not get in situations where you'll get attacked. It's known as the Cloaking Shield, or in some cases, the "Hedge" Shield.
I find this shield the most fun to play with. With it, you can walk up to someone while their looking right at you and scare the crap out of them (yes, that is fun! :)). Previous experience with telepathic suggestion will help you with this shield's properties.
To create it, you'll want to form a mental image of what you want to project onto others. You can project yourself as "invisible" or something static (for example, a hedge, box, etc...). Whatever you choose, you should have a clear understanding of what the objects energy is like. You'll want to create a shield that emits this same type of energy. The goal isn't to physically make yourself look like a hedge, but rather to get the attacker to glance over you. Broadcast something like "Nothing to see here, just a hedge".
Another form of this shield would be to emit a "normal" human's energy field. When the attacker sees you, they'll either underestimate your ability, or ignore you completely. Obviously, visualizations of whatever you want to become work well for forming this shield. Remember though, you're not just creating a shield, your clouding the mind of your opponent. This is where telepathy is useful. Incorporate telepathic suggestion and broadcasting into the shield. Visualize your opponent becoming confused.
This isn't an easy shield to make, but it is useful. It doesn't take that long to make, just skill. With anything, practice makes perfect, and this shield is fun to practice .
Shields are essential to psions - from newbie to advanced. One last note: keep in mind that the two shields are better than one. Combine shields and layer them wisely to significantly increase your protection. Any shield can be cracked, but having backups for the backups ensures you'll have time to react to an attack.

To me CHS is a recycled, less functional version of DAAM with less thought put into it, and DAAM wasn't even creative.
I've been a fan of lynch since WAY before he signed with strange and I've always liked him, still do. IMO CHS is disappointing. DAAM was at least amusing but CHS is an embarrassment to Lynch's catalog. Sorry, just the way I feel.

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: Global Food Shocks & the Crisis of Socio-Ecological Reproduction
The current distribution and market pricing system serve to price food outside the reach of millions. Unique to this food price crisis is the widely held belief that it harkens the end of cheap food altogether. The conjuncture of these food price shocks with other crises (economic, environmental) have led to transformed, new, and emergent, forms of food consumption and household reproduction. If it is the end of cheap food, then families must find new ways to cope with the "new normal". This presentation discusses these global and national processes, explores how they play out in New York's Southern Tier, and sketches how these experiences illuminate the unfolding crisis of socio-ecological reproduction. Presented by Diana Gildea, Dean's Research Fellow. 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: Lordship and Commune: A Comparative Study of Building and Decorating in Reims and Amiens
This project is a comparative study of two cathedrals built competitively in very different circumstances: Reims (ca.1211- ca.1260), the coronation cathedral, a premier archdiocese ruled by an archbishop-count, and his suffragan cathedral, Amiens (ca.1220- ca.1264), a self-ruled commune, independent of episcopal jurisdiction for one hundred years before the new cathedral was begun. It assesses this history in the modern era as well. Churches are either affirmed or understood as consensual, but in both cases tremendous resistance can be detected. My aim is also to bring locals into these histories. Presented by Barbara Abou El Haj, Associate Professor (Art History). 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: Becoming "Authentic" Iban within "Contagious" Iban Culture: Young Women's Same Sex Relationship in South Korea
Fan-costume-play, or fan-cos, emerged and become popular in the early 2000s as teenage women perform as popular boy-band singers. Focusing on the aspects of fan-cos as performance of masculinity and as liberating space for teenage female ibans (lesbians), I examine how the young women mobilize and constitute themselves as masculine fan-cospers and also as sexually desiring of and desirable to other young women. The paper is divided into three sections. In "Performing Masculinity," I examine the object of performance and the meaning of masculinity that fan-cospers understand, revealing that drag is not only about gender but also about positive self-construction. I argue that masculinity in fan-cos does not mean patriarchal oppression but also it becomes complicated because of their modeling themselves on gay men image in fan-fiction. The second section, "Becoming Authentic Iban" discusses how the teenage female ibans designate themselves positively, differentiating them from both "lesbian" and "fan-fic iban". It shows how the young women understand their desire interrelated with the representation of male same-sex sexuality, fan-fiction. Through this, it reveals how "authenticity" in sexual desire and identity becomes the focus of discussion and the importance of alternative representation of sexuality. The third section, "Contagious Iban Community," examines another factor which teenage female ibans report as influential in their self-constituting process such as girls' schools and fan-cos groups, since the spaces are liberating place for them to come out freely without worrying about discrimination different from outside world.

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: The Sixth Crusade: Antichrist, Fredrick II, and Muslims in Western Eschatology
Presented by Ilana Ben-Ezra, Undergraduate Fellow (History and Political Science). In this talk, Ben-Ezra will examine how Christian understandings of Muslims' roles in the apocalypse changed following Emperor Fredrick II's Sixth Crusade in 1229. The presentation will discuss how Fredrick's Sixth Crusade tied into complicated thirteenth-century politics that pitted the emperor against the papacy, and led to propaganda campaigns against Fredrick's legitimacy as emperor. Fredrick acquisition of Jerusalem through a lease with Al-Kamil, instead of conquering the city like an ideal crusader, Muslims became proof of Fredrick's Antichrist-like nature for the papacy and its allies. On the other hand, pro-imperial authors avoided connecting Muslims and Fredrick II because Fredrick's enemies were using that association in the propaganda campaign against him. Ben-Ezra will argue that Muslims were significant because of their associations and connotations, not because of their independent actions. 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: In the Neighborhood of Empire: Baku Communities in the Interwar Period
Presented by Heather DeHaan, Associate Professor (History). DeHaan's project examines neighborhood life in Baku between the first and second world wars. It attempts to explore Soviet ethnic relations through a horizontal, neighbor-to-neighbor prism rather than through the vertical state-society prism that dominates Soviet studies. This talk will grapple with the research challenge posed by a topic that defies the organizational logic of Soviet governance (and, thus, of the Soviet archives). 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: Infrastructure and Regional Integration around the Bosphorus: Material Futures or Political Dreamscapes?
The construction of railroads, highways, pipelines, tunnels, canals and bridges come as a result of a specific imagination and construction of an integrated region. Critics of the role of technological advancement in fostering social, economic, political and cultural integration between the centers and peripheries argue that many such projects remain as political dreamscapes instead of serving successful examples of transregional integration. Today, the idea of fostering region-wide transnational integration by means of infrastructural projects interconnecting states and peoples operates beyond sheer political economic calculation. Despite criticisms querying the viability of infrastructural regionalism as a working means for transnational regional integration, novel political dreamscapes are open to new client networks from the European-Asian peripheries but their implications remain uncharted. Infrastructure and Regional Integration around the Bosphorus: Material Futures or Political Dreamscapes?, explores whether deeper integration between Turkey and Europe might come about by means of material infrastructures in fields like energy and transport. Currently being promoted as a bridge and energy hub between Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Turkey champions infrastructural integration in order to further its position as a strong trade partner and political ally of states in these regions. Turkey's economic, political and culturally nationalist policies towards former Soviet Turkic Republics, its imperial history in the Middle East, and more recently its pending membership in the EU are seen as opportunities by political and economic elites. This research examines Turkey's materially existing and planned integration with Europe by querying the role of and connection between materiality and culture. We will look into some of these projects of "political dreamscape" on energy and transport infrastructures already exiting and under construction connecting Turkey, from the East to the West, to its adjacent regions.

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: Access to Essential Medicines: Why We Should Support the Global Health Impact Campaign
The problems of global health are truly terrible. Millions suffer and die from diseases like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria. One way of addressing these problems is via a Global Health Impact labeling campaign. The idea is to use a newly developed rating system for pharmaceutical companies' key impacts on global health to incentivize positive change. The best companies, in a given year, can be given a license to use a Global Health Impact label on all of their products – everything from lip balm to food supplements. Highly rated companies will have an incentive to use the label to garner a larger share of the market. If even a small percentage of consumers promote global health by purchasing Global Health Impact products, the incentive to use this label will be substantial. If consumption of Global Health Impact goods reaches one percent of the market in generic and over the-counter medications, alone, that will create about US $360 million-worth of incentives for pharmaceutical companies to become Global Health Impact certified by expanding access to effective medicines needed by the global poor. Companies will have a large incentive to improve their global health impact. If Global Health Impact labeling is successful, it will give companies a reason to produce drugs that will save millions of lives. One might wonder, however, whether consumers have any moral obligation to purchase Global Health Impact certified goods or whether doing so is even morally permissible. This paper suggests that if the proposal is implemented, purchasing Global Health Impact certified goods is at least morally permissible, if not morally required. Very roughly, this paper defends the following argument:
1. Pharmaceutical companies have violated, or at least failed to live up to, their obligations.
2. It is at least permissible, if not morally required, for consumers to withdraw their economic support from companies that have violated, or failed to live up to, their obligations.
C. So it is at least permissible, if not morally required, for consumers to withdraw their economic support from pharmaceutical companies.
If this argument is successful, it might be extended to support purchasing other kinds of ethically labeled products as well. Presented by Nicole Hassoun, Associate Professor (Philosophy). 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: Narcissistic Sensibilities: The Erotics of an Imagined Self in English and German Novels of the Eighteenth Century
In both England and Germany, the age of sensibility and the literature it produced could be seen as symptoms of a newly conceptualized sex-gender system whose far-reaching consequences are still felt today. The emerging polarization of public and private spheres and the gendered division of labor reinforced changing definitions of masculinity and femininity while the emphasis on the bourgeois family made heterosexuality almost compulsory. A new scientific discourse marked men's and women's bodies as incommensurate opposites, grounding both essential gender differences and male-female desire in "nature." It also effectively desexualized women, claiming that their libidos were much less developed and removing sexual pleasure from their role in procreation. While the culture of sensibility can be seen as the logical outgrowth of these dominant discourses in its emphasis both on idealized (passive, chaste, and modest) femininity and romanticized love (between men and women), it also revealed the repressions inherent in these constructions and offered new ways of expressing desire and sexuality. Women's normatively greater sensibility, i.e. emotional sensitivity and impressionability, can also be understood as a greater capacity for imagination. Fears about women's sexuality were thus displaced to the private spaces of fantasy and the dangerous pleasures of the imagination, and this issue is taken up in much of the period's literature. In many of the novels produced by women in the latter half of the eighteenth century, I suggest, women's erotic experiences become directed inwards and are centered on fantasies of the self that disrupt or resist these conventions of gender and the heteronormative dictates of desire. Presented by Doctoral Fellow, Kristine Jennings (Comparative Literature). 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: What Cinema Isn't: Will and Blindness in Fritz Lang
The idea of cinema as manipulation has a history that extends from its beginnings to the present. In Lang's Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (1922), the titular super villain claims, "There is no fortune—there is only the Will-to-Power"; and he asserts his will via his hypnotic gaze, a gaze that allegorizes film as a medium, even suggesting its own will-to-power. Cinema here seems less a representation of reality than an intervention within it, as it lays claim to the ability to pull strings both psychic and social and so shape the world. But if this is so, what then do Lang's assorted blind characters come to suggest about the will, the gaze, and especially about cinema itself? The balloon vendor in M (1931), the spy on the train in Cloak and Dagger (1946), and the medium Cornelius in Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse (1960) cannot see us: they refuse to mark a place for the spectator, and so seem to disdain the hypnotic and indeed even visual purview of the cinematic apparatus. Equally unconcerned with realism and manipulation, these blind figures evoke a confounding negative ontology I wish to explore: what is a cinema without mimesis, gaze, will, or audience? Presented by Brian Wall, Associate Professor, Cinema Department. 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: 'To Wage the Peace': The 1965 Immigration Act and the Cold War Politics of Immigration Reform
Presented by Wendy Wall (Associate Professor, History). This project explores the Cold War politics that produced and shaped the Immigration Act of 1965. Both scholarly and popular works have dealt extensively with the consequences of that act, but the politics that led to its passage have received surprisingly little attention. Scholars have often portrayed the act as the inevitable product of a postwar liberal consensus without exploring how that consensus was forged or shaped by religious groups, ethnic and civic organizations, academics, State Department officials, and even key members of Congress. This project attempts to change that by restoring a sense of contingency and a multiplicity of voices to the story of postwar immigration reform. Along the way, it explores the factors that led to two key policy decisions embedded in the act (beyond the abandonment of national origins quotas): the extension of an immigration cap to the Western hemisphere and the prioritization of family reunification over skills. In addressing these issues, this project looks to America's Cold War foreign policy concerns, as well as to the era's emphasis on religious nationalism and domestic ideology. 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

IASH Fellows' Speaker Series: "Up Against the Wall: Guerrilla Discourse and DIY Media in 1960's Manhattan"
This presentation surveys and situates the media, art, and propaganda of the Manhattan based art collective Black Mask/Up Against the Wall Motherfucker in a short history of guerrilla discourse and tactics in the United States. I have two explicit goals here. First, I outline Black Mask's aesthetic interventions in political discourse and underscore the collective's departure from mass political movements in the 1960's. Thinking and working at a remove from organizations like the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), or anti-Vietnam struggles more generally, Black Mask dubbed itself a "street gang with an analysis," favoring anonymous and clandestine acts of resistance to state power and the capitalist mode of production. Second, I work to situate the aesthetic and conceptual work of the collective as precursors to contemporary forms of resistance that deploy digital technologies to achieve similar forms of anonymity and secrecy. Where contemporary groups like Anonymous and Lulzsec share similar political desires to that of Black Mask, I am explicitly interested in how Black Mask's aesthetic categories prefigure the contemporary digital turn. Presented by Doctoral Fellow Matt Applegate (Comparative Literature). 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)
September 11, 2013
The 2013-14 IASH Fellows' Speaker Series will begin with a presentation by Adam Laats, Assistant Professor in Binghamton University's Graduate School of Education, entitled "Democracy" and American Education, 1930-1960.
What should America's schools be teaching its young people? We might all believe in teaching the good, the beautiful, and the true, but the devil has always been in the details. For example, do we need to believe in God? We might politely agree to disagree, but in public schools, Americans have long been forced to hammer out awkward compromises about it.
These debates often swirl around contested definition of keywords. Politically, for instance, it is difficult to contest the notion that America's public school should teach the values of "democracy." Yet, as this talk explores, conservative activists have often brandished sometimes-idiosyncratic definitions of "democracy" as central elements of school reform. During the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, conservatives often insisted that "teaching democracy" meant instilling the traditions of American society and government. Unlike progressive educators and social scientists, who insisted that "democracy" required the questioning of received wisdom, conservatives fought for a vision of "democracy" that hoped to pass along that wisdom. 12:00pm, IASH Conference Room (LN 1106)

Sticking to 'diet foods' can be an effective means of fighting obesity, it has been claimed. Dr Susan Jebb, nutrition scientist with UK Medical Research Council (MRC), explained that most people know what they need to do to shed the pounds and get healthy, and as such, it's simply a matter of self-discipline. She added: "It's a practical issue, people just find it hard to do the right thing all of the time." Commenting on the benefits of healthier options, she said: "The whole concept of structure and choice and variety seem to be very important in helping people to control their weight ... [though] these can only work in so far as they help people and offer practical support to people to eat fewer calories." Recent research carried out by the website mySupermarket.co.uk found that sales of slimming ranges have risen by around 32 per cent over the past two years alone.

Greal Small Tote

About Me Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Practical
I am very pleased with this little wheeled tote, we went on a long trip and it held up great, I had it stuffed, with my computer, books, craft supplies, & vitamins, for most of the trip, lots of stairs, and latter changed it out and stuffed it with clothes, for the last leg of out trip. It has lots of little pockets on the outside that I could stuff without things falling out, it held up great for being as inexpensive as it is. The only problem I had was that the extending handle didn't like to stay upright, the lock tabs didn't come out enough to hold.
Looks Good but Poorly Made

I like the look of the product and the outside pockets are useful for umbrella, drink, etc. Even has samall zippered pocket in main compartment for pens, pencils and such. I just got it and I am really concerned because it is so flimsy. It comes in pieces and part of the base sticks on with velcroThe leather is soft and the handle is light, but neither seem durable. Hope it lasts!

Looks great. Organization is good. First time I used it as a carryon -- the seams ripped, the"leather" scuffed badly. The quality of this item is VERY disappointing (and bad!)

Shallow rocks and fallen tree branches are just two of the things hiding beneath area lakes that can cause boating accidents. Crews with the Tennessee Valley Authority are working in December to keep you safe this summer.
Believe it or not, winter is the perfect time to hit the lake, but it's not for what you would expect. Crews with TVA are making rivers and lakes all across Tennessee safer by inspecting hazard buoys.
We braced the wind and frigid temperatures on Watauga Lake to tag along with a crew.
"We make sure the [buoys] are where they're supposed to be. If buoys are missing for whatever reason we go back in and try to replace those," said Chuck Bach with TVA.
Levels at the lake are so low right now, you can see the hidden rocks. Crews were anchoring buoys to the exposed rocks. "[Buoys] are really for those boaters out there if you're not familiar with Watauga," added Travis Brickey with TVA.
News 5 learned inspecting buoys is also an opportunity to install more of them to prevent accidents during boating season. "Last summer we had some areas with some boating accidents because of some shallow rocks under the water," said Brickey.
For those fishermen not letting low lake levels call the shots, TVA officials warn to go slow, be cautious, and stay in familiar water. "Have a good time, go out and enjoy, but be careful while you're out there. Look for the buoys and for underwater obstacles," added Brickey.
TVA officials say lake levels have dropped to their lowest for the season. They're about 20 feet below the target summer level.

EPA sends Vt corrective action plan for watersThe Associated Press | July 20,2013MONTPELIER The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has sent the state a new blueprint for cleaning up its lakes and rivers, including Lake Champlain.
The corrective action plan the state has agreed to follows five years of prodding by the Conservation Law Foundation and the Vermont Law School Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic, which had asked that the EPA take over enforcement of the Clean Water Act in the state.
Among the steps the state is required to take are providing an opportunity for the public to review and comment on enforcement actions related to violations of water quality law; updating the states system for reporting violations of federal water quality law; and improving regulation of animal feedlots.MORE IN Vermont NewsSenate Democrats met Thursday ahead of the legislative session to lay out their priorities.

SYRACUSE -- A Clinton man was stopped by security at Hancock Airport in Syracuse after they found a loaded gun in his carry-on bag.
A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer found the 25 caliber pistol in the man's carry-on as it passed through the x-ray machine at the checkpoint. One bullet was chambered in the gun at the time.
The TSA contacted Syracuse Police who confiscated the gun.
Syracuse Police say the man had a valid pistol permit and appears to have forgotten he had the gun in his luggage.
The man was later rebooked on a flight to his destination in Philadelphia.
No charges have been filed and his name will not be released.
Weapons are not allowed in carry-on luggage. Travelers can only transport unloaded firearms in a locked, hard-sided container in checked baggage.

I spent the greater part of my free time over the last two weeks reworking my blog.
Before it ran on Pyblosxom as a CGI process (yes---a CGI process). It had accrued a decade of sediment, redirects, hacks, hacks on hacks, etc (yes---a decade). It was kind of messy and---worse---it really impaired my ability to blog easily. That sucked.
Now it runs on Pyblosxom, but it's statically rendered with a post-receive hook from a git repository. The work flow for blogging is a lot easier and I can test things out locally before pushing them live. I also ditched a bunch of silly things in the blog.
I also ditched comments. I might at some point switch to using something like talka.tv, but most of the time people were writing comments as a response or a reply to me---not intending to be part of a bigger discussion with other readers. Given that, I ditched comments. No sense in spending the time maintaining them if they don't really get used. Instead, email me.
I updated my blog to use PyBlosxom from git master HEAD as well as updates to plugins that are now part of the PyBlosxom core. There have been a bunch of bugfixes, so my blog works a lot better now. I also abandoned a bunch of home-made plugins for their suped-up equivalents in PyBlosxom core.
I wrote a script that grabs my identi.ca dents and generates local entries for them. I figured most people probably don't follow me on identi.ca (which is a shame), so I'll bring it here.
Then I spent about 30 minutes tweaking the CSS to make the blog look a little better. It's not super, but it's good enough for now.
I run my own server and have been for like 10 years now. It's moved around over the years. Most recently it's been at ServerBeach. A little under a year ago, they obsoleted the server hardware I was using and their pricing was such that I would have to pay more going forward. So I figured it was time to jump ship to a VM somewhere.
Not too long after that, I got to talking with Asheesh about my dilemna. He mentioned how he wanted to build a new server and run a bunch of VMs on it. I helped him pay for the hardware. He bought all the bits, put it together, and then looked around for somewhere to host it. He decided to park it at Cernio--they're fantastic.
In October, the new bluesock instance came up. I finally bit the bullet and did the migration from the old server to the new one yesterday.
There are probably still some things not working, but I think most of it is functional now.
Yay for migrations! Yay for friends! Yay for cutting my server costs from $1200 a year to $120!
I just switched to using SyntaxHighlighter. It's a JavaScript-based syntax highlighter. I decided to use this because I think it'll play well with Planets and my blog.
If you notice any problems, let me know. Only one of my entries uses it so far--I have to go back and update entries.
Rick kindly pointed out that comments on my blog were broken. Totally my fault--I've been working on PyBlosxom on and off and a couple of weeks ago I updated my blog to use the latest version of PyBlosxom in git master and didn't grab the latest comments plugin.
Comments were getting into the moderator queue (I moderate all comments), but when the comments plugin went to send me a notification email, it'd die.
They're working again.
Someone spammed my blog with 400+ comments for some shoes site. Took me less than 2 minutes to skim the emails, see the pattern, and then remove all the spam from my comments moderator queue. This sort of thing is the big strength of PyBlosxom.
I have my blog set up to store comments as individual text files in a
directory. All comments have to be approved
before they make it to the site. Approved comments end in .cmt
and comments in the moderator queue end in .cmt-
Additionally, comments that contain one of a series of blacklisted words
are rejected automatically. Any time someone posts a comment, I get
an email.
It took me a minute to skim my 400+ emails and notice they're all kind of the same, 10 seconds to update the blacklist so that I won't get any additional comments like this in the future, and 10 seconds to remove all the spam from the queue with:
for mem in `grep -rl spamwordhere *`; do rm $mem; done
That was it--spam gone in less than 2 minutes. Took longer to write the blog post about it.
Got a comment on a post about a conference call today that I'm a "top 100 blog" in Python. I'm not sure what the selection criteria was, but it looked legit-ish. Added their seal and link to the sidebar for now.
I work at Participatory Culture Foundation and I have a work blog there that I use primarily for blogging about things related to PCF, Miro development, Miro-related development and other things of that ilk. It's on a WordPress system.
I decided after a while that having two blogs sucked. Also, I don't like Wordpress. Also also, I was getting crazy amounts of comment spam on my work blog.
As such, I did a couple of pushes to finish up PyBlosxom 1.5 enough so that I could write a tags plugin that I like so that I could migrate. Then I wrote a Wordpress to PyBlosxom migration script and the result is that I'm now blogging here for all Miro related things. Since it's easier to blog here, I'll probably be talking more about Miro-land. w00t!
I spent a few hours throwing together a new tags plugin that makes use of the new commandline features of code in PyBlosxom trunk (which will be PyBlosxom 1.5). Then I spent a while adding tags to all my entries.
I'm still mulling over my choice of tags, but I imagine I'll hone it into a set I'm happy with over time.
Also, I used ::
as a tag separator, but I think I'd recommend
something that doesn't require a shift key to enter. Perhaps ;; or //.
Tag information is stored in two dicts that are pickled and thrown in a file. It seems to be pretty fast to load for my blog (~500 entries). I picked pickle because it was easy, but if it turns out to be a problem, I'd be game for other storage formats.
I've been waiting for tags support before I did more blogging. Now that I've got tags support, I plan to move my work blog here. That'll make things easier and get me off WordPress.
It occurred to me that adding a link to category feeds was pretty trivial, so I figured I'd give it a try. It's a bit cluttered to look at (I'm talking about the Categories section on the right hand side there), but ... it's functional.
In case anyone was wondering what my category properties looked like, they're like this:
# category plugin properties py["category_start"] = "" py["category_begin"] = "" py["category_item"] = r'%(indent)s%(category)s' + \ r' [atom]' + \ r' (%(count)d)
' py["category_end"] = "" py["category_finish"] = ""

Quotes from authors born on Oct 5th
I think the game has opened up, and that's why I decided to come back and try to be a part of it.
Mario Lemieux
I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damned business.
Chester A. Arthur
We are all instruments endowed with feeling and memory. Our senses are so many strings that are struck by surrounding objects and that also frequently strike themselves.
Denis Diderot
My grandfather, on my father's side, helped to draft one of the first constitutions of China. He was a fairly well-known scholar.
Maya Lin
You have to have conviction and completely question everything and anything you do. No matter how much you study, no matter how much you know, the side of your brain that has the smarts won't necessarily help you in making art.
Maya Lin

REFLECTIONS about the writer's early days of scientific research in the U.S. to which he came from England in the fall of 1947. He enrolled as a graduate student in the Physics Dept. of Cornell University. He went there to learn how to do research in physics under the guidance of Hans Bethe. In 1947 postwar physics was flowering - new ideas & new experiments were sprouting everywhere. Tells about work on the quantum-electrodynamics theory. Tells about the people in the Cornell group who had worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. Tells about his friendship with one of them, Richard Feynman, and relates their long discussions, especially on physics. He took a cross-country trip to Albuquerque with Feynman Writer says the world of physics is divided into 3 principal domains tells about them. He spent 5 weeks in 1948 at the Univ. of Michigan summer school, the main gathering place for itinerant physicists in summertime. He then went to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Tells about their struggle on scientific theory which Dyson won. Eventually the writer became a professor at the Institute and settled down there. He was a friend and colleague of Oppenheimer's for 14 years-from the year before his hearing to the year of his death. Mentions T.S. Eliot who was at the Institute for a short time in Dyson's early days there. Discussion of the play "The Ascent of F6", by W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, written in 1936. Reminiscences about Oppenheimer.
