Department of Sociology public lecture:
Speaker: Professor Judy Wajcman
Respondent: Genevieve Bell
Chair: Professor Lord Anthony Giddens
Thursday 27 November 2014, 6.30-8pm
Old Theatre, Old Building, LSE
The technologically tethered, iPhone-addicted figure is an image we can easily conjure. Most of us complain that there aren't enough hours in the day and too many e-mails in our thumb-accessible inboxes. This widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be is now ingrained in our culture, and smartphones and the Internet are continually being blamed. But isn't the sole purpose of the smartphone to give us such quick access to people and information that we'll be free to do other things? Isn't technology supposed to make our lives easier?
In her new book Pressed for Time (University of Chicago Press) Judy Wajcman explores why it is that we both blame technology for speeding up everyday life and yet turn to digital devices for the solution. This book will be on sale after the lecture and there will be a reception in the Atrium.
Judy Wajcman is the Anthony Giddens Professor of Sociology at LSE. Genevieve Bell is Vice President of User Experience at Intel Labs. Anthony Giddens is a former director of LSE.

Questions about the nature of money have gained a new urgency in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Even as many people have less of it, there are more forms and systems of money, from local currencies and social lending to mobile money and Bitcoin. Yet our understanding of what money is—and what it might be—hasn't kept pace. In The Social Life of Money (Princeton University Press, 2014), Nigel Dodd, one of today's leading sociologists of money, reformulates the theory of the subject for a postcrisis world in which new kinds of money are proliferating.

Tuesday 7 October 2014, 6.30-8pm, Old Theatre, Old Building, LSE
It is widely accepted that high rates of inequality are damaging to society, although some skeptics remain to be convinced. Perhaps it is because the most damaging form of economic inequality now appears to occur when the very richest 1% take more and more, even if the other 99% are becoming more equal. So what exactly is it about inequality that causes most harm?
Danny Dorling (@dannydorling) is the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, Oxford. He advises government and the office for national statistics, appears regularly on TV and radio, and writes for the Guardian, New Statesman and other papers. His new book Inequality and the 1% is published by Verso Books.

The anthropological concept of culture as a way of life has often been interpreted as a democratic extension of, and break with, earlier aesthetic definitions of culture. Nothing could be further from the truth. The culture concept that defined the tradition of American anthropology running from Franz Boas to Ruth Benedict interpreted ways of life as the result of a creative patterning modelled on works of art. These patterns provided, at one and the same time, the basis for establishing culture as the object of an autonomous science, distinct from biology and psychology, and a new working on the surface on the social through which the governance of difference was managed in 1920s and 1930s America. Yet, although developed through fieldwork among Native American peoples, the culture concept found its greatest practical applications in the assimilationist policies that regulated the relations between earlier generations of white Americans and new generations of immigrants from southern Europe. The conceptions underlying these policies rested on a distinctive amalgam of anthropological and aesthetic perspectives whose fusion created a new set of 'authorities of freedom' who aspired to reorder the relations between cultures through the free activities of their members rather than via state directives. However, although thus partly displacing earlier concepts of race in the governance of difference, the culture concept did not do so entirely as racial coordinates continued to inform the treatment of Native Americans and African Americans. I shall, in reviewing these episodes in the career of the culture concept, articulate their relevance to cultural studies which, although claiming the concept of culture as a way of life as its founding concept, has paid its earlier histories little attention.

Department of Sociology public lecture:
Speaker: Dr Gabriel Abend
Chair: Professor Mike Savage
Wednesday 28 May 2014, 6.30-8pm
Alumni Theatre, New Academic Building, LSE
In recent years, many disciplines have become interested in the scientific study of morality. However, a conceptual framework for this work is still lacking. In his book The Moral Background, Gabriel Abend develops just such a framework and uses it to investigate the history of business ethics in the United States from the 1850s to the 1930s.
According to Abend, morality consists of three levels: moral and immoral behaviour, or the behavioural level; moral understandings and norms, or the normative level; and the moral background, which includes what moral concepts exist in a society, what moral methods can be used, what reasons can be given, and what objects can be morally evaluated at all. This background underlies the behavioural and normative levels; it supports, facilitates, and enables them.
Through this perspective, Abend historically examines the work of numerous business ethicists and organizations--such as Protestant ministers, business associations, and business schools--and identifies two types of moral background. "Standards of Practice" is characterized by its scientific worldview, moral relativism, and emphasis on individuals' actions and decisions. The "Christian Merchant" type is characterized by its Christian worldview, moral objectivism, and conception of a person's life as a unity.
Gabriel Abend is an assistant professor of sociology at New York University. He read political science and history at the Universidad de la República, received his doctorate in sociology from Northwestern University, and is a 2013-2014 fellow of the Institut d'études avancées de Paris. The Moral Background: An Inquiry into the History of Business Ethics was published by Princeton University Press in April 2014.
Centre for the Study of Human Rights and Department of Sociology public lecture:
Speaker: Professor Partha Chatterjee
Chair: Dr Ayça Çubukçu
Thursday 3 April 2014, 6.30pm - 8pm
Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building, LSE
This lecture deals with four strands of trans-regional political movement in India's anti-colonial history. The first is that of Islamic jihad which took inspiration from Sayyid Ahmad Barelvi's campaigns in Sind, Afghanistan and Punjab in the early 19th century, was a submerged current in the 1857 revolt, sought to restore the Ottoman Khilafat after World War I and assumed the somewhat quixotic form of Obaidulla Sindhi's attempt in the 1920s to mount an anti-British jihad from Kabul, Moscow and Ankara. The second consists of the international connections and alliances of nationalist armed revolutionaries, from the Ghadar party, Britain and US-based organizers such as Hardayal and Savarkar, the connections of the Bengal revolutionaries with Germany, the Irish rebels and anarchist groups in Europe, to the alliance of Subhas Chandra Bose with Germany and Japan during World War II. The third were the strong connections of Indian communists with the international communist movement. Finally, there were important critics such as Tagore who deplored the narrow self-aggrandizement of nationalism and pleaded for an opening to world humanity. All of these strands, with their possibilities and limits, continue to be vibrant today.
Partha Chatterjee is a Professor of Anthropology and of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies at Columbia University and Professor of Political Science at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences in Calcutta, India. This lecture will inaugurate the Internationalism, Cosmopolitanism and the Politics of Solidarity research group convened by Dr Ayça Çubukçu at LSE's Centre for the Study of Human Rights.

We are pleased to announce the first session in the REPS Cluster's Seminar Series. The REPS Seminars aim to develop opportunities for intellectual exchange in a friendly and relaxed environment with intellectuals from outside the LSE, engaged in path breaking research.
This talk explores intersectional commodification of migrant workers from post-socialist EU Accession 8 (A8) countries and its effects within transnationalised East-West labour relations. The talk exposes the colonial post-socialist order, widens understanding of A8 labour migration to the UK and leads to insights into the remaking of class, race and gender politics on the local and global scales.
Barbara Samaluk is Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Work and Employment Research Unit at the University of Greenwich Business School.

Public discourse and politics of climate change are blocked by the dominance of apocalyptic imaginaries and by the inability of sociological thinking to analyse the transformation of politics and to imagine new openings.
To combat the sources of climate pessimism, we need a new cosmopolitan outlook, in research and politics, capable of grasping the epochal transformations of society and politics set in motion by the global risks of climate change. For poster (PDF) click on image.

Although it is still useful to insist on the distinction between science and politics, the scale and importance of ecological mutations make it more and more difficult to use it effectively. The problem is that the alternative requires a redefinition of the two terms "science" and "politics". The lecture will explore in which way an alternative definition could help us to cope with the geopolitical debates that will become more and more intense in the future.

Thursday 20 February 2014 2.30-4pm
Graham Wallace Room, Old Building, Houghton Street, LSE
In this talk Sari will discuss some of the specific ways in Finland in which hormone treatments have been proposed to be 'risky'. Most often in feminist theory the risks of hormone treatments are understood as health risks. Here however, Sari focuses on the ways in which hormone treatments have been considered risky primarily because they have seemed to challenge the two-sex binary.

Teacher Hala Arraby observed that her students were more interested in learning English when she used technology. Photo by Yong Xin / Creative Commons
This week, the UK and Israel agreed to work together on a project to train Israeli teachers. We asked Israeli teacher Hala Arraby, who took part in our Routes to Excellence teacher training programme, how it works and why teachers should develop their digital literacy.
Why should teachers use technology in their classes?
As a young English language teacher, I recognise how important it is to use technology in my classes. My students need to be able to interact in English in a digital world, and they are more likely to be engaged in classes where they use 21st century tools.
I started out with the basics – YouTube and an interactive whiteboard. At first, it was quite tough to integrate technology into the more traditional style of teaching that is common in Israel. It's typical here for classes to be less interactive, with learners answering closed questions and completing worksheets, and most tasks being assessed through summative tests.
To my surprise, my students' reactions to using technology were good – they were more interested in learning English than before. For many of them, English is their second foreign language, and not an easy one either.
Teachers need to learn, too
I was approached by my English inspector and asked if I would be interested in becoming an accredited British Council teacher trainer for the Ministry of Education in Israel. I jumped at the opportunity to learn new techniques and develop professionally.
In July, I took part in a training course on how teachers could use technology better. This course is a part of 'Routes to Excellence', a teacher training and development programme run by the British Council and the Ministry of Education in Israel. It emphasises teaching before technology. To make the transition from teacher to teacher trainer, I learned how to motivate teachers and students, make more effective observations, give peer feedback and encourage students to communicate.
The British Council uses the latest English language teaching pedagogy, which encourages students to be actively involved in how they learn. They taught us to focus on group work using interactive online learning tools such as linoit and tricider to encourage ideas and discussion.
One of the most significant parts of the training was getting feedback on our teaching. We were put into pairs and asked to prepare a mini-lesson, which we then delivered to the wider group. We received feedback on this lesson from the British Council trainers and from our peers. This was challenging, but extremely helpful. Observation does not happen nearly enough, and is vital for developing as a teacher and a teacher trainer.
How to train other teachers to be technologically savvy
The training provided me with confidence to become a teacher trainer, and train teachers who have more experience than I do. Of course, it also improved my own classroom teaching. Teaching other teachers how to use technology is not always easy. Not all participating teachers have computers in their houses, making it difficult for them to access the websites and to learn to use online tools effectively. Many teachers in Israel lack experience in learning technology. This course was particularly helpful as it offered a combination of teaching theory and practice, as opposed to other courses that are more theoretical in nature.
Now I train teachers how to use technology in their English lessons. I teach them how to create and work with wikis, blogs, Voki and VoiceThread, which they can use during lessons. We discuss the importance of digital literacy, cyber wellbeing, evaluating websites, mobile learning, using office software and social networking in the classroom.
The approach encourages teachers to reflect before, during and after a lesson on whether they've achieved what they wanted to, whether learners are engaged and what needs to change. This is something I try to impress upon all of the teachers who take part in my course.
The teachers that I train say that their students really enjoy surfing the web for specific information, posting grammatically correct passages, checking, commenting and collaborating with each other through online audio and writing tools. Technology and teaching are two parts of one body. They complete each other and ensure that students have the best experience when learning English.
The Routes to Excellence programme is now supported by a 'memorandum of understanding' between the UK and Israel, and will reach most English teachers in Israel – including teachers in the Druze, Bedouin and other Arab communities – and more than a million pupils over five years.

When I first read this article I agreed with what you were saying. Then, I had a conversation with my son in our kitchen while I was washing the dishes. He asked me if the salutation Thank you was one word or two words. I looked at him with surprise. He is now a student of English literature at university and yet, ever since he learnt to read and write in first grade, he has thought Thank you was one word. I asked him if he had ever noticed that the spell checker on the computer corrected the mistake. He said yes, however, he had taught the spell checker to recognise the one worded spelling and the issue never came up again. Obviously he has never written Thank you to me or I would have noticed, other people would be too polite to make a comment. Now, he has to change his habits and think thank you as two words. I do not think any kind of digital technology could replace that face to face conversation we just had and obviously, none of the technology that he uses (as do others of his age) had picked up the mistake (for want of a better word).

If you are searching for an amazing interactive educational site then this is worth a look http://www.whatismissing.net. I wish everyone new about it and contributed to it in some way. We would all be richer for it. What is Missing? Foundation creates innovative artworks that utilize sound, media and scientific and historical information to connect people to the species, places and natural phenomena that have disappeared, or will most likely disappear, if we don't act to protect them.

PS Sorry about the typing error. It should be knew.
I don't know if you are interested in this or not, one of my favourite places for books is Persephone Books. They specialise in reprints of neglected fiction and non-fiction by mid-twentieth century writers. The writers on their list are mostly women and they have audio books and eBooks too. All the books are carefully designed with a clear typeface, designer endpapers and a preface by notable present day writers. The endpapers are chosen to match the date and mood of the book. When you think about it, if we loose the ability to appreciate books and how they are made and feel we will loose the ability to access a whole art form. If I were a teacher I would point my students in the direction of the best book stores or libraries around and say go and browse and see what you can find that is special to you.
If you are still passionate about digital technology as being the best medium for teaching then this video about typography might be helpful. I was not sure if the link would work outside of a specific site, so I emailed the link to myself first and tested it. It worked for me http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1091263959001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAABvb_NGE~,DMkZt2E6wO0aqwg3BkGVZipVhkS_MPQH&bctid=2534285906001

Dear Judith,
I am a strong advocate of integrating Learning Technologies into the classroom. I do not believe that Learning Technologies should replace teachers. In my view teachers have more responsibility than ever to teach their students how to evaluate websites, to autheniticate the material they are accessing, to credit the authors and to be responsible digital citizens.'Routes to Excellence' is a programme that provides teachers with the knowledge and skills to do exactly this.
I am really glad that Hala's blog inspired you to share with us your experience and some educational sites to browse. I love the What is Missing? site and think it has so much educational potential.

Yes in India also students have started appreciating the need of digital classroom which they find very essential as a learning tool. It is very necessary teaching tool. I am using smart class in teaching English. Even the village Schools have installed interactive whiteboard in their classroom. I taught in 4 schools as visiting faculty and all the village schools had a smart class installed. Students learn very fast, even the dull student is able to understand what a teacher is trying to say. Boring History classes becomes interesting with those animated stories, students learning and grasping power enhances multifold using digital technology and the results are fantastic in a school. Smart class has become a necessity now a days rather than rich man's delight.

Hey Timetheos,
Once again, excellent guide. I notice that you've got each slot divided up into four categories. I've read the "sources" description at the top of your guide but I'm looking for some insight as to what makes the third group. The fourth is obviously pre-WotLK and the first is tier pieces and so forth but I'm a little confused about the second and third groups.

Skin GraftEn Español (Spanish Version)
A skin graft is the removal and transplantation of healthy skin from one area of the body (source area or donor site) to another area (recipient area) where the skin has been damaged. The source sites most commonly used for skin grafts are the inner thigh, leg, buttocks, upper arm, and forearm.
There are three main types of skin graft techniques:
- Split-thickness graft—This is the removal of the top layer of skin (epidermis) and part of the middle layer (dermis). This type of graft allows the source site to heal more quickly. However, the graft is also more fragile, and may be abnormally pigmented. This is the most common skin graft used.
- Full-thickness graft—This is removal and transfer of an entire area of skin. Although this type of graft requires stitches to heal the source site, the final outcome is usually better. Full-thickness grafts are usually recommended for areas where cosmetic appearance is important, such as the face. However, full-thickness grafts can only be placed on areas of the body that have significant vascularization (blood vessels), so its use is somewhat limited.
- Composite grafts—This is a combination of skin and fat; skin and cartilage; or dermis and fat, which are used in areas that require three-dimensionality, such as the nose.
The use of one's own skin as the source area is called an autograft. However, if there is not enough skin on the body to provide graft coverage for another area on the same body, then skin may be harvested from outside sources. These alternate sources are only meant for temporary use until your own skin grows back. Three common options:
- Allograft—Skin taken from another human source, such as a cadaver.
- Xenograft—Skin taken from an animal source.
- Synthetic tissue
Reasons for Procedure
To promote healing of:
- Large burns
- Wounds
- Varicose ulcers (venous ulcers)
- Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
- Diabetic ulcers
- To reconstruct skin removed during surgery (such as following breast cancer surgery )
Risk Factors for Complications During the Procedure
- Age: newborn and infants, or 60 or older
- Smoking
- Chronic illness
- Use of certain medications such as high blood pressure drugs, muscle relaxants, insulin
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
The wound is cleaned with a saline solution.
During Procedure
Anesthesia, as well as blood pressure and temperature monitoring are done.
Local, regional, or general , depending on the wound is given.
Description of the Procedure
The wound is measured, and the pattern is traced and then outlined over the donor site. The donor tissue is removed with a scalpel, or special harvesting machine called a dermatome, and the donor site is closed with stitches, if other than split thickness grafting is used. The graft is placed on the damaged site, and fastened with stitches or staples. The graft may be meshed, a technique which places multiple controlled incisions in the graft (a mesh appearance) that allows fluid to leak out from the underlying tissue bed and allows the meshed skin to spread out over a much larger area of injury. A pressure bandage is applied over the area. A wound VAC (special vacuum apparatus) may be placed for the first 3-5 days to control drainage and increase the viability of the graft. Initially, the graft survives on oxygen and nutrients from the underlying tissue. Within 36 hours, new blood vessels begin to grow, and new cells will then grow from the graft to cover the damaged area with new skin.

© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
After Procedure
Dressings are applied to the new skin graft and the donor site.
How Long Will It Take?
This varies, depending on the size of the graft and extent and severity of the injury.
Will It Hurt?
Harvesting skin grafts can be painful, but anesthesia should prevent most pain during the procedure.
Possible Complications
- Bleeding
- Graft failure
- Infection in either the donor or recipient site
- Distorted healing
- Collection of serum under the recipient site that prevents growth of new blood vessels
- Increase or decrease sensation in the recipient site
- Lack of graft adherence in recipient area (in extreme cases, graft may fall off)
- Hair may not grow on recipient site
- If tissue of the graft contracts, it may interfere with movement of limbs.
Average Hospital Stay
This varies depending on the reason for the graft, the size of the graft, as well as what other care is needed (eg, recovery from a burn or accident)
Postoperative Care
- Keep the recipient site clean and dry.
- Avoid all trauma to the recipient site.
- Do not expose recipient site to prolonged sunlight.
- Inspect site for healing and good circulation, as shown by healthy pink coloration.
- Follow instructions given for bandaging the grafted area to provide it with appropriate support during the healing process, and to prevent contractures even after healing is complete.
- You'll need to use a plain (bland) oil product to lubricate the recipient site, since there are no functioning sweat or oil glands in a skin graft.
A successful skin graft will result in transplanted skin adhering and growing into the recipient area. Cosmetic results may vary, based on factors such as type of skin graft used, and area of recipient site.
Call Your Doctor If Any of the Following Occurs
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Headache, muscle aches, dizziness, or general ill feeling
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting

http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/9...kspottitle.pngEspresso is an Alliance guild, residing on Azjol-Nerub EU. We are currently a group of friends who have come together from different raiding guilds, for one reason or another, to raid Heroic content in a non-super hardcore fashion. We have all had different raiding styles during our time in Wow; some cutting edge, some middle of the pack, some very casual, though we all hold the same standards and devotion to raiding.
We are semi run by an Officer team, as most guilds are, though all guild matters aren't down to these select few people. Where to progress, loot drops and Recruitment are a few things that we, as a guild, work together on.
If you're like-minded and wish to kill heroic content, while also not raiding 4+ days a week, this is the home for you.
Raiding schedule:
Wednesday: 20:30 - 23:30 Game Time
Sunday: 20:30 - 23:30 Game Time
Monday: 20:30 - 23:30 Game Time
- Tank
- DPS (Ranged)
- DPS (Melee)
Retribution Paladin
Windwalker Monk
- Healer
Feel free to apply even if your class is not listed, we won't say NO to exceptional players. Also having a strong off-spec is a large plus, though not mandatory for application.
What we expect from you:
- Attendance: With a three day /wk Raiding Schedule like ours, it is important to attain a high attendance rating. We're not going to kill you if you need the odd day off, though we don't want you making a habit out of it. Our members work / study, so we understand some time off is needed at times.
- Skill: While some of our members have high standard raiding backgrounds, we aren't looking for the best in the world. You should be competitive and play your class/spec to a high degree though. Lacking behind continually, lack of class knowledge and general poor performance will cause you to fail your trial.
- Dedication: You must have a positive attitude towards raiding and progress. While we are all friends here, we know when it is time to keep quiet and get the job done. If you feel wiping to a particularly hard boss X number of times is not your thing, we aren't interested in you. We try and keep motivation high during raids though, so don't think we're mindless robots.
- Connection, communication and hardware: You should have stable connection, be able to communicate during raids and have a PC that can handle a raiding environment. If you cannot bring yourself to talk, or have issues with having a microphone, you must make this up with a substantially high skill level, along with the ability to listen and react to commands at a high speed. It is mandatory for Tank and Healer applications to have a working microphone, the roles are too important for you not to have one.
What we offer you:
- Focused, fun and progressive raids.
- A social and active guild.
- Combined leadership from all members for most matters.
- Light raiding schedule with time for other activities.
Bonus! – If you are accepting into the guild, Hammer (Our local coloured man) will pick you up in-game from wherever you are and drive you in his first class chopper to the raiding destination of that evening! Offer only available on your first raid with us, terms and conditions apply.
If our guild interests you, feel free to contact;
Our recruitment guy - Hammer, on Battletag: Alsayyar#2389

Android Becomes Most Popular Commercial Mobile OS in US
A new report from NPD sees Blackberry dethroned for the first time since 2007.
The NPD Group, which researches the commercial wireless market, announced the results of its Q2 wireless research and the clear winner was Google's Android operating system.
According to the research, one in every three commercial smartphones activated in the US last quarter was Android-powered. The top five Android phones purchased were the Motorola Droid, the HTC Droid Incredible, the HTC EVO 4G, the HTC Hero, and the HTC Droid Eris.
Research In Motion's operating system fell to second for the first time since Q4 2007. RIM accounted for 28 percent of commercial smartphones activated in Q2 2010. iOS accounted for 22 percent.
Verizon Wireless maintained its lead in the carrier market with 33 percent. Followed by AT&T with 25 percent. Sprint and T-Mobile accounted for 12 percent and 11 percent, respectively.
NPD's numbers are based on consumers age 18 and older. The research did not factor in enterprise/corporate purchases.
Most popular?The question is, will it still be the most popular linux distribution" after a couple of years? i.e., will it have the same consistent staying power of say, Ubuntu?
Re: WowThat wasn't the focus of the article at all. Android surpassed iPhone some time ago, but RIM has had a controlling interest in the commercial and enterprise smartphone markets for three years now. RIM enjoys the same multicarrier support that Android does, but only RIM manufactures Blackberry phones. That Android has overtaken RIM, even on the commercial market, is newsworthy.
WowSo all of Androids phones and carriers finally overtook the single iphone on a single network. Well done!
It'd be shocking if it didn't.
Android OSThat didn't take long! Google's midas touch continues--personally glad to see this.

Most of the major companies in the industrial countries employ Occupational Doctors and Nurses. The task of the occupational health team is not only to treat occupational health
related illness, but also to ensure that the work is suitably adapted to the physiological and psychological capacities of the workforce and that, conversely the workforce is fit to do the job.
The difference between the occupational team and the primary health care team is that they are constantly aware of the work/health relationship. The services provided include:
The first appointment will be an initial assessment followed by treatment. Treatment may consist of manual therapy, therapeutic modalities, exercise and education. Treatment sessions will last from 30 to 60 minutes. Ongoing appointments will be booked as required.

Some of Mitt Romney's Delegates Are Belong to Newt
On Tuesday night, Mitt Romney picked up 50 delegates, while Newt Gingrich picked up zero, which seems unfair. Because Newt Gingrich is Newt Gingrich and he wanted some of those delegates. He wanted them, and he is Newt Gingrich. So, you know, this needs to happen.
Or we will all pay…
Newt Gingrich's campaign said Thursday they were requesting the Republican National Committee award delegates from Florida based on a proportion of the vote rather than allocating all of the state's delegates to Mitt Romney, who won Tuesday's primary…
Under RNC rules, Florida was stripped of half its delegates when it moved up its primary date to January 31, early in the nominating calendar. The RNC also stipulates any state holding a primary before April 1 must allocate delegates proportionally, rather than a winner-take-all scenario.
Makes perfect sense, right? Newt Gingrich gets some delegates like he wanted. Everybody wins, right? Totally right! Except actually wrong…
Florida is already in violation of RNC rules because it moved its primary into January. And the RNC, which has already docked Florida half of its delegates for moving its primary up, says it cannot punish a state twice. Therefore, the states that are already in violation of RNC rules for setting their primaries too early (Florida, Arizona and Michigan) were allowed to go winner-take-all.
Okay, Newt doesn't actually get any of those delegates.
But what he does get is the opportunity to spend the next seven months complaining about how persecuted he is for not getting those delegates. So, again, everybody wins!
Except for everybody.
Except for Newt.

One of a Kind Candidate: Hamish Patterson, City Council, Malibu, CA
If you are a surfer/video blogger from Malibu, California, you are constitutionally obligated to be named Hamish Patterson. Look it up, it's right there in the Constitution. It's literally the only thing in our Constitution. Have you read the Constitution?
Hamish Patterson is a righteous surfer dude – and other words I don't know how to use, because I'm from the East Coast – and he's running for city council in Malibu. This series is supposed to feature candidates who aren't famous, but Patterson is already something of a web celebrity, posting videos about surfing, skating and vibrating at the high frequency. Now that he's running for office, his videos have morphed into reviews of city council minutes, which, oddly, are just as compelling as the videos of him draining a pool.
As for his political positions, well, let's just say that Patterson is ripping mad kahunas over his local goofyfoots [Ed. note: ? Sorry, I'm also from the East Coast]. Patterson drew loud applause at a recent debate with this heartfelt plea for political accountability and transparency in Malibu politics: "Everybody in this community and in this room needs to show up at City Hall and just stare at these people. Just stare at them."
That's some Jedi-mind-trick political activism right there. At this point, most political protest involves incoherent screaming and even more incoherent signs scrawled on cardboard, so legislators would be stunned if people showed up and just stared at them. Can we make this a new national hobby? Everybody flood their city council meetings, and we'll just stare, all for fun and civic engagement. It'll be like planking, except for not being the worst thing.
Also, Patterson goes by the nickname The Illusion, which probably goes without saying.

The airplane veered off the runway and ground looped during the landing roll while the pilot was attempting to execute a three-point landing. The airplane touched down near the approach end of the runway directly over the runway centerline. During the transition to the landing roll, the airplane began to veer from the centerline, following the natural contours and incline of the runway. The airplane continued to veer to the right and departed the runway surface. The right main landing gear contacted a runway light fixture and the airplane ground looped. During the ground loop, the left main landing gear impacted an embankment, resulting in the left wing contacting the ground. The airplane incurred damage to the left elevator, wing tip, and landing gear. The pilot said there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures.

A blog entry from WAN and Cloud Networking Track Chair Eric Hanselman.
When interconnection works well, it's invisible to the user or the application that's taking advantage of it. For a long time, we've lived in environments where the bulk of the interconnection that we need runs really well. As virtualization and cloud deployments have scaled up, we've started to hit the limits of the traditional ways of interconnecting. Those limits are in capacity, but also, increasingly, limits in agility are becoming a greater concern. The big benefits of cloud are hard to achieve, if the networks on which they run can't keep up. The networking track at Cloud Connect Chicago 2012 will look at these issues and explore how to deal with them and manage needs for sophisticated interconnection.
We start off with a session exploring the nature of cloud networking. It will be a deep dive into network virtualization, the technology at the core of software defined networking (SDN). Steve Riley of Riverbed Technology will be detailing the high level concepts and the implications of differing implementation strategies. His background is comprehensive and our past Q&A sessions have been full of pragmatic information based on his extensive experience. The transition to virtual networking opens new possibilities in the way in which applications work with networks. They need to be well understood to leverage their potential.
If we needed a greater validation of the importance of networking to cloud, we got it in VMware's acquisition of SDN startup Nicira. SDN's capability to increase the flexibility of interconnect and deployment of network services is already having an impact for cloud operators and will offer more as offerings become integrated in different platforms. Nicira counts AT&T, eBay, and NTT as customers. The network track will have two of the remaining independent SDN companies delivering their perspectives. Dante Malagrino of Embrane will be talking about how service provider and cloud deployments need to address the challenges of delivering network services. Orchestration is working well to spin up compute and storage, but networking is just starting to be fully integrated. There are a range of services from load balancing and firewalling to VPN termination that have been the province of physical hardware, but are starting to be included in virtualized and cloudy systems. There are great opportunities for improved management, but also some pitfalls that are best avoided.
Our panel discussion will take on an assessment of the networking requirements for different application architectures. As organizations utilize more cloud capacity, there are a number of different approaches to manage the flow of data within the datacenter, as well as across whatever distance separates data sources from applications. OpenFlow startup Big Switch, datacenter operator Equinix, and hosting provider Rackspace will discuss strategies and technologies for meeting requirements for capacity and scale in different architectures.
Whether you're building new applications or grappling with moving existing applications to a cloudy home, network functionality will play a large part in your success. The networking track will deliver a wealth of information to guide the way in managing deployments and taking on new cloud projects.
See you there!

Tort Reform Is Bunk
Those doctors should do their homework before buying into this myth that has served insurance companies so well. What happened in three states where tort reformers were duped by insurance companies debunks tort-reform advocates justification for caps.
Texans amended their state constitution to place a cap on medical malpractice awards for pain and suffering. GE Medical Protective, the nations largest provider of medical malpractice insurance, has admitted in a filing that a $250,000 cap on damage awards for victims of malpractice will not lower physicians premiums.
According to the filing, in which the insurer requested a 19 percent hike for doctors insurance, Non-economic damages are a small percentage of total losses paid. Capping non-economic damages will show loss savings of 1 percent, which contradicts a March 2004 report in which GE Medical Protective stated that capping noneconomic damages is a critical element (of reform) because in recent years we have seen non-economic damages spiraling out of control.
In 1975, California enacted the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act, but only after insurance reform was enacted did medical malpractice insurance rates drop, a drop for which tort reform is erroneously given credit.
In 1986, after insurers and doctors lobbied for and Florida lawmakers enacted a cap on noneconomic damages for malpractice claims, insurers Aetna and St. Paul increased doctors premiums. The companies argued that, despite earlier promises, malpractice caps do not actually lead to savings for doctors.
I hope that Maryland doesnt place a cap on awards for pain and suffering that will benefit no one but insurers and bad doctors and will deny medical malpractice victims a basic constitutional right.

Not Anti-War Enough
Thanks for doing an interview with Rep. Benjamin Cardin and seeking answers about the current situation in Iraq (Q&A, Dec. 15). It was disappointing, though, to read his answers.
One does not support the troops in Iraq by voting for more funding for the war. The only legitimate way to support the troops is to bring them home from the quagmire. Surely Rep. Cardin remembers the tragic history of U.S. imperialism in Southeast Asia?
How many more people must die on both sides before the politicians realize the immense tragedy of this imperial exercise in the Middle East? How many more years should the United States occupy a country it invaded under false pretenses?
Maybe even more troubling than voting for the Bush administrations war funding was the congresspersons answer to the question on civilian casualties. First, he has no idea of the number of civilian dead, despite the availability of the Johns Hopkins University study (100,000, Mobtown Beat, Nov. 17). Then, a few weeks after the merciless invasion and destruction wreaked on the city of Fallujah, he claims that U.S. policies have been very much targeted to try to keep the loss of life to a minimum.
No wonder so many people had problems voting for the Democratic alternative for presidentso many prominent Democrats support the war. But Bush Lite is a very flat and tasteless drink.
More than 900 children in the United States have lost their mothers or fathers in this horrific conflict. But the war in Iraq is awful for all involved, most especially for the Iraqi civilians. I urge Rep. Cardin to recognize the folly of his thinking on the war and become an outspoken opponent to any more funding of a war in a country where 50 percent of the population are children. We need those tax dollars right here in Baltimore.

Have An Afrocentric Feminist Christmas
I want to say Merry Christmas to editor Lee Gardner and his excellent staff for their informative articles published this year. I want to wish you all a blessed new year, and challenge Mr. Gardner and all the City Paper writers to break away from the institutionalization of white race history reporting with a disregard for modern diversity of thoughts.
As an Afrocentric feminist who is a great fan of City Paper (the paper has been good to me in publishing my editorial letters and showing some of my cartoons), I have been very proud of your reporting of local politics and the names of elected officials who are not working to solve problems for poor people.
I believe that poverty in America, and in foreign countries, will make it difficult for world leaders to create good and sound ways to resolve political economy (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) to feed the masses who desire to live without hunger.
If Mr. Gardner and his staffand readers of City Paperget a few moments to rest alone to read a book, I would like for them to read the following books in the new year:
The Destruction of Black Civilization, by Chancellor Williams.
Why are there drugs in black communities? Trail of the Octopus, by Donald Goddard and Lester Coleman.
Why is AIDS in most places where black people live? The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS, by Edward Hooper.
Do white world leaders want to get rid of poor people of color in the world? Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy, by Kevin Bales.
Why is there racism in America? A Rap on Race, by Margaret Mead and James Baldwin.
A couple of weeks ago, President Bush had an economic meeting of white minds to discuss where should Americas money be spent to save white political economical business wealth. I did not see one black face at the table with President Bush. I suppose Bush believes that our tax dollars (black folks) must not co-exist with white money. We can have diversity in government ideas and programs, but no diversity in white economics. Thats the way to keep the political system of white supremacy pure white.
A black couple told me that they do not read City Paper because of the fetish sexual articles. The brother and his thing girl are not reading anything. Free the mind.
