Alabama man faces death again for child killings
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama man is again facing execution for throwing four children off a bridge to their deaths.
Last year, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reversed Lam Luong's capital murder convictions for the children's 2008 deaths, saying pretrial publicity was prejudicial and that the trial court erred in denying defense attorneys funds to travel to Vietnam.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled 5-3 Friday that the lower court decision was wrong. Defense attorney Cassandra Stubbs said she will probably ask the court to reconsider.
"No meaningful steps were taken to make sure he got a fair trial," she said.
State Attorney General Luther Strange praised the court's ruling.
"We have maintained that Luong received a fair trial, and we are thankful that the court heard our arguments and has ordered that his conviction and sentence will stand," he said.
Luong, a Vietnamese immigrant, was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in 2009 for driving the four children to the Dauphin Island Bridge in Mobile County on Jan. 7, 2008, and throwing the four children into the Mississippi Sound about 100 feet below.
Three of the four children were Luong's, while the other was his wife's from a previous relationship who had been treated by Luong like his own child, according to testimony during his murder trial.
The bodies of the four — Ryan Phan, 3, Hannah Luong, 2, Lindsey Luong, 1, and Danny Luong, 4 months — were later recovered along the coast of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Hannah's body was found 144 miles from the bridge.
Their mother, Kieu Phan, testified that the couple's relationship had soured and that her unemployed husband had been using crack and seeing a girlfriend.
The Court of Criminal Appeals overturned the conviction a year ago, ruling that pretrial publicity in Mobile was presumptively prejudicial and that the trial court erred in denying defense attorneys funds to travel to Vietnam. That could have led to a new trial in a new location if the decision had been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Writing for the majority of the Supreme Court, Justice Lyn Stuart said, "A review of the record simply does not support a finding that the content of the media coverage incited anger, revulsion and indignation to the degree that jurors chosen from citizens of Mobile County could not determine Luong's guilt or innocence based solely on the evidence presented at trial."
She also wrote that Luong's attorneys did not provide specific information concerning Luong's childhood that would indicate a state-paid trip to Vietnam would yield important evidence.
In dissent, Justice Tom Parker said, "The media coverage in this case was extensive and sensational."
In another dissent, Justice Glen Murdock remarked, "It is hard to imagine a case involving more extensive and more prejudicial publicity or a case that would more readily warrant a conclusion of presumed prejudice."
Joining Parker and Murdock in dissent was Justice Jim Main.
Stubbs, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Capital Punishment Project, said, "We think the dissents got it right."
Attorney General Strange, whose staff handled the prosecution's appeal of the lower court's decision, said, "Lam Luong threw his four young children off a bridge to their deaths, and then laughed when he told their mother. This monstrous act rightfully resulted in his capital murder conviction and a sentence of death."
Joining Stuart in the majority were Chief Justice Roy Moore and Justices Mike Bolin, Greg Shaw and Tommy Bryan.
Justice Kelli Wise did not participate because she was a member of the Court of Criminal Appeals when it considered the case.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What is a Computer Virus?
Malware, short for malicious (or malevolent) software, is software used or created by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems. It can appear in the form of code, scripts, active content, and other software. 'Malware' is a general term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software.
Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, adware, and other malicious programs. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant, as in the legal codes of several U.S. states. Malware is not the same as defective software, which is software that has a legitimate purpose but contains harmful bugs that were not corrected before release. However, some malware is disguised as genuine software, and may come from an official company website. An example of this is software used for harmless purposes that is packed with additional tracking software that gathers marketing statistics.
Malware has caused the rise in use of protective software types such as anti virus, anti-malware, and firewalls. Each of these are commonly used by personal users and corporate networks in order to stop the unauthorized access by other computer users, as well as the automated spread of malicious scripts and software.
How Did My Computer Get Infected with Malware?
Malware can come from many different sources. Generally, Malware will enter your computer without you installing it. Here are some possible sources:
P2P Software – These networks allow you to share files with other people on the network. However, many people may be sharing infected files or may use false filenames to trick users into installing Malware. This tend to be the main source of Malware for most people.
Freeware or Shareware Software – There are many freeware software which you can download on the web which has hidden bugs in it. Sometimes they may have adware in it (creates ads on your computer), but sometimes they can have spyware or Malware in them.
Websites – There are certain websites which will transmit Malware to your computer. Try to surf only trusted websites. It is important to always double check before clicking on an unknown link.
How Do I Remove Malware?
Option 1: Automatic Repair (Novice User)
- Download RegCure Pro.

PHILADELPHIA — Matt Evans, the most prolific tackler in University of New Hampshire football history, was named Monday to The Sports Network FCS All-America Team for the second straight year, while Jared Smith was named to the All-America Third Team.
Evans, a senior, led the CAA with 115 total tackles, which ranked 20th in the country, and he tacked on a nation-best 77 solo tackles. The co-captain, who became UNH's all-time tackle leader Nov. 3 in a home win against William & Mary, capped his illustrious career with 449 stops and 266 solo tackles; both totals rank first among all active FCS players. Evans was previously recognized as a member of the Beyond Sports Network All-America Second Team, All-CAA First Team and All-New England Team. College Sports Madness recognized the 6-foot, 228-pound middle linebacker as its CAA Defensive Player of the Year and as an All-America Second Team performer. Evans, the 2011 Buck Buchanan Award winner as the national defensive player of the year, closed out the season with six straight double-digit tackle games (seven overall) and led the Wildcats in tackles nine times in 12 games. Smith, a senior, ranked fifth in the CAA with 10 tackles for loss, and his four sacks ranked third in the league. In 11 games, the 6-foot-3, 292-pound defensive tackle recorded 40 tackles, 26 solo, blocked three kicks, forced two fumbles, recovered a fumble and tallied four pass breakups. Smith, an NFL prospect who was named to the inaugural Senior Bowl Watch List in August, was tabbed to the All-CAA First Team, College Sports Madness All-CAA First Team and the All-New England Team. Entering the season, the Greencastle, Pa., native was ranked the No. 23 defensive tackle nationally by Phil Steele.
No. 11/13 UNH qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship for the ninth straight season –the longest active FCS streak- before losing 23-7 at No. 9/9 Wofford in the second round Dec. 1. The Wildcats, co-champions of the CAA, concluded their season with an 8-4 record.

Of the dozens of campgrounds in San Diego County, only one made Sunset Magazine's list of the state's 42 best
Of the dozens of campgrounds in San Diego County, only one has made Sunset Magazine's list of the 42 best campgrounds in California.
The Doane Valley Campground in Palomar Mountain State Park is listed as the 34th best in the state in a special camping issue now on magazine racks.
"This camp is like a slice of the Sierra Nevada — dense conifer forests and grassy meadows at 4,700 feet — in San Diego County. Kids can fish in Doane Pond, and the 200-inch Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory is a scenic drive up the road," the magazine notes. Palomar has made Sunset's list of best campgrounds in the state at least twice before.
View the photo gallery: Palomar Mountain camping
Sunset Magazine's top California campgrounds
- Big Basin Redwoods State Park, north of Boulder Creek
- Camp Edison, Shaver Lake, northeast of Fresno
- Cold Springs Campground, Sequoia National Park, east of Three Rivers
- D.L. Bliss State Park, Lake Tahoe
- Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, northeast of Crescent City
A spokeswoman for the magazine said the rankings are obviously subjective. She said the special camping issue is always one of the biggest sellers of the year.
Ironically, earlier this decade Palomar was one of 70 California parks scheduled to be closed because of the state's financial problems. Even before the closure orders were rescinded in June 2012, Palomar's future had been assured after a nonprofit citizen's group came forward and raised enough money to cover any deficits the state might realize from the park's operation.
Rick Barclay, chairman of Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park, was hardly surprised about the shout-out in Sunset.
What do you think?
What's your favorite local campground? Share your tips in the comments below.
"The campsites are shaded and have a lot of atmosphere and variety — not the typical cookie-cutter type — each with a fire ring, standing BBQ and a food locker," he said.
"And there are plenty of bathrooms and hot showers, which are really important to people. All this makes for a really good camping experience, especially for newbies and people with kids."
There are 31 campsites at Doane Valley, three of which have accessible features for the disabled. Campsites can be reserved up to six months in advance by visiting ReserveAmerica.com on the web or calling (800) 444-7275. Reservations are recommended for weekends this time of year.
The U.S. Forest Service operates two campground on the mountain as well.

Women (and European men) riding around in their chauffeured Rolls Royce have had nowhere but the luxuriously piled rear carpet to place their purses — until now. Presenting the Rolls Royce auto-adjusting purse holder.
First shown on the Rolls Royce 200EX concept, this (to us car guys) crazy little contraption pulls out of the rear-center armrest, automatically detects the presence of a lady's purse and then adjusts the leather-lined grips around the purse very slowly and carefully as to not crush the sleeping
bag rat Chihuahua sleeping peacefully from the Xanax it found inside.
In all seriousness, to our knowledge, this is the first of its kind and considering that the ten person UK design team had only one woman, a color & trim specialist, we're quite surprised a female-centric feature like this actually made it through the development process. It's quite the forward-thinking step to recognize the growing number of wealthy females in the business world and to apply features that they might find to be useful within the vehicle. Considering that the female "Spirit of Ecstasy" is the undeniable token figure for Rolls Royce, we wonder why something like this took so long to implement.
Will this feature make it to the production 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost? Most likely. Though, we'd rather use it to grip our In & Out Burger 4x4. What would you use it to hold? [via NotCot]

When my kids were small, they loved looking through our garden after my husband tilled the soil. They would explore the newly turned dirt in search of treasures they hoped had been brought up from their hiding place in the earth. Alas, all they ever found were some interesting rocks and a couple of lost toys.
Despite my kids lack of success, there are actually treasures buried in Marylands dirt, in the form of arrowheads. These are historic treasures, rich in the clues they provide about Marylands first inhabitants. Long before Captain John Smith navigated through Marylands waterways, several different Native American tribes made their homes along Marylands bountiful forests and rivers. Now and again, some of the tools they used, including arrowheads, rise out of their hiding places to remind us of the past.
There is actually much more to an arrowhead than just a sharp point at one end. Archaeologists and collectors examine arrowheads for several different features. What type of mineral was used to make the arrowhead? How was it made and how might it have been attached to the shaft of the arrow? The answers provide helpful clues to technological advances and other aspects of Marylands first inhabitants.
Whether you have ever found an arrowhead in your back yard, or just wished you had, you can learn more about these fascinating artifacts at the Perryville Branch Library on June 11th. Dan Coates, President of the Archeological Society of the Northern Chesapeake, will present a program on Prehistoric Projectile Points, and he will bring arrowheads and other tools to display. Mr. Coates will also describe why certain shapes were used for specific functions, describe the local mineral resources that were available, and talk about what we can learn from these tools.
The program begins at 7:00. You can register online or contact the library to register at 410-996-6070, ext. 3. Bring your own artifact to compare with those on display!
What treasures have you unearthed in our area?

DuPont Finds that Chinese Consumers Express Greater Confidence in Green Products than North American Consumers
Beijing (PRWEB) December 05, 2012
A new survey released today by DuPont revealed a growing understanding of green products among urban Chinese consumers. Seventy percent of these consumers expressed confidence in the environmental claims of green products. The findings reflect the potential for green products in the world's largest consumer market and how this demand could help China meet its sustainability targets.
In the DuPont China Green Living Survey: Consumer Awareness and Adoption of Biobased Products, DuPont found that a majority of Chinese consumers are likely to purchase apparel, personal care, hygiene and household products made from biobased ingredients that offer environmental benefits. These "green" products use ingredients that are composed of biological or renewable agricultural materials, rather than synthetics, and are biodegradable. Since biobased ingredients, such as enzymes, often replace petroleum-based ingredients, they help reduce reliance on non-renewable resources.
While just 4 in 10 surveyed said they are very or somewhat familiar with green products, most urban Chinese consumers agree on the factors that make a product "green" and accept that biobased products meet the criteria. The findings also noted that higher-income Chinese consumers were more familiar with and receptive to green products as well as biobased products.
|Percentage Who Agree it is Definitely or Likely Green
|Contains recycled material
|Made from renewable materials
|Use less energy to produce
|Requires less energy to use at home
|Requires less water to use at home
|Use less water to produce
According to DuPont's research, Chinese consumers express greater confidence that green products are better for the environment than North American consumers surveyed last year. When asked about their confidence that green products are better for the environment, 70 percent of Chinese consumers surveyed said they were either very or somewhat confident. A similar survey of North American consumers released in 2011, showed that 65 percent of Canadians and 60 percent of Americans were confident that green products are better for the environment. 1
Greater adoption of biobased products in China could help the country reduce its energy intensity and carbon emissions and advance a new era of green manufacturing.
"The survey demonstrates a growing awareness and desire among urban Chinese consumers for green products that offer sustainability benefits," said Jeremy Xu, vice president, Global Sales and Applications, DuPont Industrial Biosciences. "Greater adoption of biobased products in China could help the country reduce its energy intensity and carbon emissions and advance a new era of green manufacturing."
More than three quarters of the respondents said they would definitely or likely buy biobased products in a range of categories.
|Type of Product
|Percentage Who Definitely or Likely Would Buy
|Personal hygiene products
|Personal Care Products
In the North American survey, about 8 in 10 consumers said they would definitely or likely buy biobased products if comparable on cost and quality than non-biobased products.
DuPont's China survey also found that consumers are more apt than not to believe that biobased ingredients improve the quality of a product. For example, more than 60 percent of consumers said that biobased ingredients used in personal care products, personal hygiene and detergents would make the products better.
China Market Ripe for Biobased Product Growth
DuPont estimates the market in China for biobased ingredients used to make a range of commercial and industrial products is growing. Already in North America, there are more than 20,000 products made with biobased ingredients, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which runs the BioPreferred Program to encourage the purchase and use of biobased products.
"Just like the United States, China has the opportunity to develop and promote products made with biobased ingredients as part of a strategy to reduce petroleum consumption, increase the use of renewable resources, better manage the carbon cycle and help contribute to reducing adverse environmental impacts," said Ron Buckhalt, program manager, BioPreferred Program, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Chinese consumers already can purchase a range of products made with biobased ingredients. These include detergents that clean at lower water temperatures for reduced energy use, personal care and cosmetic products that are made with naturally derived ingredients rather than synthetics. Manufacturers can respond to consumer preferences as well by utilizing biobased enzymes that reduce water and energy consumption in the manufacturing process.
About the China Green Living Survey
The research is based on face-to-face, street intercept interviews conducted July 21–Aug. 6, 2012, by Environics Research (in collaboration with N-Dynamic Market Research) with 1,000 Chinese consumers in the following nine mainland cities — Beijing, Chengdu, Dalian, Huangshi, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Yinchuan — as well as Hong Kong.
DuPont — one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals more than 20 years ago — has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders, it can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

Benefits of a Group Policy
- No deductible - If the surety company pays out a claim, the insured does not have any out of pocket expense for a deductible.
- Policy term is one year - If the employer has several notaries, there is no need to purchase an individual policy for each notary and try to keep up with each of their expirations dates.
- Additional notaries employed during the term of the policy will be included at no extra cost - the employer simply adjusts the number covered at the time the policy renews.
- Employer's liability coverage is included at no additional premium - in addition to covering the employed notaries, the company is covered at no additional cost.
- Coverage of defense costs (subject to policy provisions) - in addition to liability coverage for the employer and its notaries, the policy covers their defense cost. This is subject to the policy provisions.
No higher limit application is needed; however, it must be clear the policy strictly covers notarizations and not signing agent duties.

Topic Page: Crassus
(krăs'Әs), ancient Roman family, of the plebeian Licinian gens. It produced men who achieved great note in the 2d cent. and 1st cent. B.C.
One of the well-known members was Lucius Licinius Crassus, d. 91 B.C., a noted orator and lawyer (much admired by Cicero). He was a strict follower of constitutional forms, and he and Scaevola as consuls in 95 B.C. proposed a law—called the Licinian Law, the Lex Licinia, or the Lex Licinia Mucia—to banish from Rome Latins who had gained Roman citizenship by illegal means (or what the law set as illegal means). This greatly aggravated anti-Roman sentiment among the allies and helped bring on the Social War.
d. 87 B.C., was consul in 97. He was the financial backer of the Roman colony of Narbo (modern Narbonne) in Gaul and achieved fame by his victories in Spain after his consulship. He was a partisan of Sulla and, after being proscribed by the followers of Marius, committed suicide.
His son, Marcus Licinius Crassus, d. 53 B.C., was the best-known member of the family. He was a man of considerable charm and almost unbounded avarice and ambition. He was a partisan of Sulla and commanded some of Sulla's forces. He was also a highly successful dealer in real estate, and bought property that was confiscated or deserted in the period of the bloody Sullan proscriptions. He became the principal landowner in Rome by organizing his private fire brigade, buying burning houses cheap, and then putting out the fire.
Crassus gained immense prestige—along with Pompey—for suppressing the uprising of Spartacus. They were both consuls together in 70 B.C., and Crassus' rivalry and jealousy of Pompey grew. He was involved in plotting against Catiline, apparently secretly encouraging the conspiracy but not directly participating in it. He and Julius Caesar drew closer together, Crassus hoping to use Caesar's ability, Caesar (deep in debt) hoping to use Crassus' money.
Caesar, seeing that he needed stronger support than Crassus, created (60 B.C.) the First Triumvirate—Crassus, Pompey, and Caesar. With Crassus' envy of Pompey and Pompey's scorn of Crassus, the arrangement worked only because of Caesar's consummate ability in handling men. Crassus seems to have backed the political maneuvers of the notorious Clodius, and trouble was stirred up between Crassus and Pompey. Caesar called both of them to Lucca, where in 56 B.C. a conference reaffirmed the alliance.
Crassus and Pompey were again consuls together in 55. Crassus managed to get Syria assigned for his proconsular service in 54. Avid for military glory, he left even before his term as consul was up to undertake a campaign against the Parthians. His ambition outran his ability. After early successes, his army was completely routed at Carrhae (modern Haran) by Parthian archers in 53 B.C. Crassus in this disgrace was treacherously murdered, and Caius Cassius Longinus (see Cassius) had difficulty in saving even the remnants of the army.

Miscellaneous Gripes about Job Ads
What's the deal with ads where you have to create an account on the school's "jobs" website in order to see the AOS? Why not just put that information in the first sentence of the ad, where it belongs?
What's the deal with ads that don't mention the courseload? Fuck that.
I know I've complained about this before, but there has got to be a way to ensure that each ad gets identified by just one ad number, even though it might be duplicated in later editions of the JFP. We can put a man on the moon.
--Mr. Zero
30 comments:
Last year, our department posted one of the 'ads that say "AOC: open," and then immediately list a bunch of areas in which the successful candidates will be expected to teach courses on a regular basis.' The rationale was that somebody might be able to teach a course in something well that is not in their area of specialization and that we may be interested in having their AOS taught as well or having someone with that specialty doing research. For instance, it is not inconceivable that someone whose AOS is utilitarianism can also teach 19th Century philosophy. 19th Century Philosophy is on the books, someone needs to teach it, and many probably can who do not have this as their AOS.
- October 12, 2009 at 8:17 AM
- C. Pynes said...
We have a 3/3 load, but our (former) dean wouldn't let us put that in the job ad a few years ago. It is a big selling point, and we weren't allowed to do it. So, sometimes it isn't your philosophy colleagues who are the problem, but some administrator or other. Same goes with listing AOS and other stuff. Some disciplines don't do that, and thus, the admin or HR person giving the okay to the ad just doesn't get it. Trust me, it can be maddening. And saying: "It's standard in our discipline only get one so far..."
- October 12, 2009 at 9:14 AM
not to mention ads where you have to read through the whole school's description of something entirely irrelevant (Or at least irrelevant at the moment), like union salary policies, before you see what the AOS is, or that none is listed?
we can put a man on the moon, but not start the ads with a simple AOS: xys AOC: def. not to mention a searchable database, how many times have we asked for that here...
- October 12, 2009 at 9:18 AM
Either the first comment confuses AOS with AOC or I don't understand it. Nevertheless, it is the case that I can teach some courses that I do not normally include on my CV under AOC. I could, with just a bit of prep, teach just about anything in the standard undergraduate curriculum. So could most of the readers of this blog, I assume. If I read an ad with an AOC that is not on my standard list, and I want to apply for the job, then I add it to my CV for the purposes of that application. If I were to be called for an interview, I would scramble to get together a rough syllabus (choose texts and topics) so that I could say something reasonably coherent about how I would teach that course. This all seems to me to be perfectly acceptable: the school that places the ad signals their expectations to potential applicants, and the potential applicants can align their expectations and put forward an application tailored to the school. If a school lists multiple courses, the applicant can pick and choose a few, sending sample syllabi, being prepared to talk about how she/he would approach the class. That's all fine.
But don't get me started on ads without AOSs. That's just bullshit.
- October 12, 2009 at 9:27 AM
I'm not sure I understand Anon 8:17's reply. Wouldn't those areas to be taught be AOCs? AOC is not AOS.
More generally, perhaps the ads are worded this way because there may be uncertainty as to what, exactly, constitutes "AOC" and the department doesn't care, they just want someone to teach those classes. For my part, being capable of teaching an upper level undergraduate course on a topic with a few weeks prep is a sufficient condition for AOC.
- October 12, 2009 at 9:34 AM
When I was on the market, my advisor gave me this advice:
AOS = either your dissertation topic, or an area in which you have published
AOC = area in which you have teaching experience.
So although you may feel ready to teach a course in a certain area, if you have not, you should not list it as an AOC. But perhaps if a school asks for an open AOC, but then says you must be willing and ready to teach certain classes, then you could apply even if you haver never taught in those areas before.
- October 12, 2009 at 10:16 AM
On the criterion for AOC suggested by Anon 10:16's advisor, very few of us would have an AOC fresh out of grad school. Assuming that most of us TA or teach intro-type courses, few of us list any AOC because few of us would have teaching experience in any area. I'm assuming that teaching a 3 week segment on philosophy of mind in the standard intro course does NOT count as having the teaching experience necessary to satisfy this criterion. If that were the case, we could list just about everything as an AOC.
- October 12, 2009 at 10:28 AM
In addition to standardizing the information presented in JFP listings, one thing that the APA really should do is promote some standard interpretations of what AOS's and AOC's are. There's no reason not to establish a clear convention on this.
- October 12, 2009 at 10:38 AM
There are clear conventions for AOS/AOC. What Anon 10:16 suggests is silly, for just the reasons pointed out in the post that follows that post.
AOS: area (or areas) of dissertation, plus any other field you have done equally rigorous research (common evidence for which is published or publishable work in the area). You should be able to comfortably (ie with limited prep) teach graduate seminars in your AOS.
AOC: Any area you could competently teach at an upper level (senior/junior) undergrad. Typically these are areas you have taken graduate seminars in (more than 1), or have taught previously.
Most fresh PhDs will have 1 or 2 AOSs, and perhaps 3 AOCs. (Folks whom claim to have 7 or 8 AOCs are either daft, lying, clueless about what an AOC is, or some combo of the above. These same folks tend not to realize that the 'A' stands for 'area', and so include specific courses, like Intro to Philosophy).
- October 12, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Here's the APA trying to disambiguate the AOS/AOC distinction. They give the following definitions:
AOC Area of Competence
AOS Area of Specialization
Gee, thanks, APA.
It's interesting that people like Anon. 11:14 says there's perfect agreement, then say a lot of people misunderstand it anyway. I'd parse the distinction slightly differently. But instead, let me tell you a story. I was at the History of Science Society meeting a few years ago, and the topic came up what constitutes being qualified to teach a given philosophy course. The grad students tended to be in agreement that any competent PhD in philosophy should be able to teach a first course in Philosophy of X, for any given X (ethics, mind, epistemology, etc., and yes, I know that the common locuation is not "philosophy of epistemology" but you get my point). The professors tended to say, oh no, you need a lot more than that.
Here's my take. AOC is relative, not absolute. If your department needs to teach ancient philosophy, and you can't get a good adjunct and no one's really especially knowledgeable about the topic, well, someone's gonna get assigned the course, and once you assign it to poor Fred, he's suddenly competent to teach it as far as the department is concerned. And after teaching it for five years, he's going to tell everyone he's competent, which can be embarrassing when you finally hire an ancient philosophy expert. But I digress.
I've seen schools (small schools, so not schools that need AOSs in the field) posting ads saying they need someone to teach metaphysics. Now, they've already got someone specializing in philosophy of science, and in my judgment anyone who does philosophy of science should be able to teach metaphysics, if necessary. So I conclude that this person doesn't want to teach it, and one criterion in selecting the new hire is that they want someone who's willing to take it on.
So, in undergraduate teaching institutions particularly, and to some extent in all schools, the main criteria for whether someone is competent to teach a given course is (1) whether there's anyone demonstrably more competent to teach it and (2) whether the person is willing to teach it. That's a characterization by pragmatics, of course, not by strict definition. But I think it generally holds.
Two caveats: First, some schools decide not to teach history of philosophy or logic or something equally crucial for their major because no one wants to do it. But most schools say you've got to teach these, even if no one wants to. And if you agree to teach a course because you need a job, you might be teaching it for the next 30 years, so make sure you're really willing to. Second, I think my characterization of a "first course in philosophy of x" is better than Anon 11:14's use of "upper level" course, because what's lower versus upper level depends on a given school's portfolio of courses.
- October 12, 2009 at 12:35 PM
In addition to standardizing the information presented in JFP listings...
This is less easy to do than one might thing. The most important reason is hinted at by an earlier comment, namely, that the content of an add is often set to some degree by someone other than the department. In some universities the form of the add is set by university policy, and at some state schools state law sets limits on what can, what cannot, and what must be said in hiring adds. There's a fair amount of variation between institutions. Some standardization might be possible, but complete standardization isn't really plausible given these constraints. (This is all besides the fact that different departments have different goals and so would want to write different adds for those reasons as well.)
- October 12, 2009 at 12:57 PM
I really wonder how hard it would be for the APA to require job advertisers to fill in particular fields to place their ads--fields such as hiring level (e.g. Assistant Professor), duration (e.g. tenure-track, one-year appointment, etc.), AOS, AOC, teaching load...
- October 12, 2009 at 1:15 PM
and just to remind everyone of the nice, searchable job wiki:
- October 12, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Really, you think it would be possible (institutional considerations aside) for philosophers to agree on the ad-format-greater-than-which-none-can-be-conceived? Or that the APA would not face consistent criticism over the institution of their own format?
Maybe this could be done, but it hardly seems worth it to me. It might also result in departments seeking other venues to advertise positions. This might further weaken the APA. Maybe that's the goal?
- October 12, 2009 at 1:49 PM
and just to remind everyone of the nice, searchable job wiki:
Thus far, I haven't found the Phylo wiki so nice. There are a number of mistakes in the ads (e.g. incorrect specifications of AOSs), and, despite the edit option, it doesn't seem possible to correct some of the errors.
Does anyone know how to edit the entry for a job whose ad lists an open AOS but is mistakenly listed on the Phylo wiki as requiring one of several particular AOSs?
- October 12, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Anon 2:14: the instructions are to leave the AOS boxes unchecked for open jobs (so if some boxes are checked, uncheck them). Does that not work?
- October 12, 2009 at 2:48 PM
As I understand it,
AOS = Areas in which you are already competent to, and planning to, write papers and teach graduate courses
AOC = Areas in which YOU ALREADY HAVE SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING to teach both introductory and advanced undergraduate courses, WITHOUT FURTHER BRUSHING UP OR LEARNING ANEW
As some people have already said, it is crazy to list more than, say, 3 AOCs on your CV. You look like you don't understand the conventions, or have too low a bar for what knowledge and training is sufficient to teach well at the undergraduate level.
A job might well want someone who already has genuine training in area X; they might then list X among the AOCs they are looking for.
But a job might just want someone who could teach in area X *after doing some further brushing up / learning anew* and such a person might well not list X as an AOC on his CV.
Many job candidates do not alter their CVs for individual jobs, and cannot, as their departments send out their dossiers for them. -- So some people who could teach in area X will not be in a position to alter their CVs to add this to their AOCs.
- October 12, 2009 at 4:52 PM
"As some people have already said, it is crazy to list more than, say, 3 AOCs on your CV"
No. This is not true.
I was on the market two years ago and had 6 AOCs on my CV. I mixed them up for different jobs, but kept the number at 5 or 6.
I went to a low rank school and got good interviews, so it certainly does not seem to hurt you. And one committee, I know, liked all my AOCs - they said as much and were excited to ask about several of them. This should not surprise, esp, if you are applying to a teaching position.
I did have something on my CV to "back up" each AOC - I had taught a relevant class as a TA, taken coursework, or published. The point is that the *committee* looking at your file has to see something to back up the AOC claim, not that you in fact could teach the class without prepping.
If you can justify the list and present it in a clear way, graphically speaking, there is no reason to stop at 3 AOCs.
AOSs - yes that is something to limit.

Popkin writes: Anon 2:14: the instructions are to leave the AOS boxes unchecked for open jobs (so if some boxes are checked, uncheck them). Does that not work?
Anon 2:14: No, I already tried that, and multiple times. It looks like once an AOS has been (mistakenly) specified that there's no way to undo that and list the AOS as open.

Here is a good discussion of AOS/AOC definition on the Leiter blog from 2007: http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2007/05/what_are_the_cr.html
- October 12, 2009 at 6:46 PM
You can list a dozen areas as AOCs as long as you don't mind being laughed out of the interview once you flub a basic question about one of them.
- October 12, 2009 at 7:09 PM
Here is another link to the Leiter report 2007 discussion of AOS/AOC, the previous link came out incomplete.

My nomination for strangest/most awful ad.
201 Keene State lists no AOS. But claims the candidate should have "visual rhetoric as a focus of his/her research". What the fuck does that mean?
Does anybody with a PhD in philosophy work in this area? Do you write about how pictures of boobs make men want to buy beer? Don Draper would totally nail this job.
- October 12, 2009 at 7:20 PM
I'd seen some CVs with a line "areas of teaching interest" just below AOS/AOC. What do you all think of putting something like that on a CV? Wouldn't it allow us to say "interested and willing to teach blah-blah, but my AOC is something else." Thoughts?
- October 12, 2009 at 7:33 PM
I am very suspicious of very specific/bizarre combinations of AOS/AOC -- The job ad seems tailor-made for a specific (inside) candidate. These fake ads just make a bad market worse by making it falsely appear better.
- October 12, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Now that I am tenured and on the other side of the fence, let me tell you that weird job ads are not a sign that an inside candidate is already there. For example: our department hired in phil mind, but the dean wanted someone who did environmental ethics to support a new interdisciplinary minor and field station that got a grant. So the add was mind & EE. Tell me that's not an odd combo. Department are beholden to deans, provosts, presidents, and hr offices who care a hell of a lot about equal opportunity and affirmative action.
So, my advice for the odd jobs. If you are close, make your pitch and hope for the best.
- October 13, 2009 at 6:34 AM
As another voice from the other side, let me emphasize second the point about the influence of deans on ads.
Deans often need to justify their pool of searches to their provost and at research universities colleges of liberal arts have to compete with more powerful colleges for a finite number of hires.
We have had to include some irrelevant language in our ads as a result of this factor. Don't let it put you off.
- October 13, 2009 at 10:15 AM
I second the idea of putting on one's CV a list of courses one is willing to teach (sorted by lower-division and upper-division). Offer to supply syllabi for any of these classes upon request. Then you don't need to list 6 AOCs.
- October 13, 2009 at 7:35 PM
I think putting a list of courses one is willing to teach on one's CV sounds like a bad idea. At least I would imagine people at research institutions finding that weird. I believe that sort of information is more commonly included in one's teaching portfolio.
- October 13, 2009 at 8:23 PM
OK, you convinced me. I just removed one AOC from my CV.
I've taught a course in the past in that area, so if a school wants someone to teach it I think I'm OK, but after n years on the market it's never done me any good listing it. In contrast, an AOC that I've probably got less justification for has netted me 4 interviews. So I still think the rules about what to include are witchcraft, but if there are people who look askance at too many AOCs, it's probably to my advantage to prune ones that don't help me any.

What is an Epidural Steroid Injection (or Epidural Block)?
An epidural is an injection that delivers steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine. The epidura (or epidural space) lies close to the spinal cord and is an area filled with fat cells and blood vessels. It is located just outside the dural sac. The dural sac surrounds the nerve roots and cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that the nerve roots are bathed in). Its position close to the spinal cord makes it a convenient place to inject an anti-inflammatory medication, usually a steroid. Steroids (corticosteroids) have been shown to reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of substances that cause inflammation. The epidural steroid injection can be highly effective because it delivers the medication directly to the site of inflammation. Careful imaging of the epidura, through the use of X-ray fluoroscopy, makes the placement of the injection more accurate. Franklin Moser, MD, Director of Neuroradiology, heads our team of imaging physicians, nurses and technologists who specialize in these procedures.
How is An Epidural Steroid Injection Performed?
An epidural steroid injection usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes. The patient lies flat on an x-ray table on their abdomen. Prior to the epidural injection, the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic. Using fluoroscopy (live x-ray) for guidance, the physician directs a needle toward the epidural space. Once the needle is in the exact position, the epidural steroid solution is injected. Following the injection, the patient is usually monitored for 15 to 20 minutes before being discharged to go home.
Patients are usually asked to rest on the day of the epidural steroid injection. Normal activities (those that were done the week prior to the epidural injection)may typically be resumed the following day.
The S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center provides a full range of advanced imaging, both radiology and cardiology, as well as interventional radiology and interventional tumor (oncology) treatments to the greater Los Angeles area, including Beverly Hills, Encino, Mid-Cities, Sherman Oaks, Silver Lake, Studio City, Toluca Lake, and West Hollywood.

Handset Market Growth Slows as Economy ContractsBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-07-14 Print
Gartner revises its growth forecast for the mobile handset market, and the revision is downward.
HELSINKI (Reuters) - The global economic slowdown has started to crimp demand for new cellphones, leading top handset research house Gartner to lower its market growth forecast, and top phone-charger maker Salcomp to warn on profits.
Research firm Gartner cut its forecast for the cellphone market to 10-11 percent. At the end of May Gartner forecast 10-15 percent more phones would be sold this year.
"In the last month however, the economic environment started to negatively impact emerging markets as well as mature," Carolina Milanesi, head of mobile device research at Gartner, told Reuters on Monday.
Last year cellphone market volumes grew 16 percent year on year.
In April Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the world's largest cellphone maker, warned the value of the cellphone market would decline in 2008 in euro terms, meaning average prices are falling more than volumes are increasing.
"Signals for a weaker than expected second quarter have arrived from Sony Ericsson as well as some component manufacturers," Milanesi said.
The world's fifth largest phone maker, Sony Ericsson (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), warned on June 27 it would make no profit in the April-June quarter due to weaker demand for its more expensive phones, and said the market was challenging.
"Despite expecting a stronger second half, we feel that the weakness of the first half has pulled the overall year growth down to 10-11 percent," Milanesi said.
Shares in Nokia and Ericsson (ERICb.ST: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) fell after the news, but later reversed the losses. By 1207 GMT Nokia was up 2 percent at 16.37 euros and Ericsson up 1.2 percent at 65.20 Swedish crowns, compared with a 1.6 percent higher Dow Jones Stoxx technology index .
Salcomp (SAL1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the world's top maker of cellphone chargers, warned its 2008 operating profit would fall from last year's level, citing expectations of weaker volumes during the second half of the year.
Shares in Salcomp slumped 13.9 percent to 2.84 euros.
"As our clients have lowered their monthly forecasts for the products we supply chargers for, our sales growth in the second half is not as fast as we expected earlier," Salcomp Chief Financial Officer Antti Salminen told Reuters.
He said the firm -- which supplies chargers to the top five vendors -- does not expect to lose market share to rivals in the second half and its stocks are at normal levels, and cautioned against making direct conclusions about global cellphone demand from its warning.
Nokia will be the first of the top phone vendors to report, releasing its April-June numbers on July 17, a day before Sony Ericsson. LG Electronics will report on July 21, Samsung on July 25 and Motorola on July 31.
Nokia is expected to report a 16 percent earnings rise due to strong demand in emerging markets, yet its comments on the impact of slowing growth is likely to set the tone for its shares.

News of our Olympic team's uniforms being made in China has prompted Sen. Chuck Schumer and others to fulminate anew about exporting jobs. But the future's going to look very different: It's China that's going to be worrying about losing jobs to us in the next few years.
US manufacturing is coming back home, from China and elsewhere. The trend started five years ago; since early 2010, it's created more than half a million jobs in America.
By 2015, the Boston Consulting Group estimates, US industrial firms will add 800,000 more jobs — jobs that aren't going to China, but staying right here.
Call it Rising Eagle, Flailing Dragon.
Investment money has stopped flowing into China since last September; since April, it's actually been leaving the country, as China's manufacturing sector has registered seven straight months of decline — while ours (despite a sharp contraction last month) stands 8 percent higher than it was before the recession.
"Made in China" may be going the same way as "Made in Japan" did a couple of decades ago. Yes, China will still produce plenty, just as Japan does — but it won't be an issue.
And China is going to have to import more of the goods its consumers crave but can't get at home. By 2020, in fact, it may be the Chinese Olympic team that's buying its uniforms in the United States.
The back-to-America trend is called "reshoring" — and it's replacing outsourcing, fast. From steel and computers to furniture, plastics, clothing and rubber, there's a $2 trillion-a-year US market for manufactured goods, and American companies are finding plenty of reasons to tap into it directly from here.
Among large firms with $10 billion in sales or better, almost half (48 percent) say they're planning to move, or already have moved, their production facilities back to the States.
They include Master Lock, which recently returned to its original home base in Milwaukee, and NCR, which set up its ATM manufacturing division in Georgia. Appliance Park in Louisville is filling up again, as GE moves manufacturing divisions back home from China.
Why? One reason is the added transportation costs of moving finished goods from overseas, especially across the Pacific. Another is quality control, as US workers using new computerized tools and processes get better results than India's or China's low-cost-but-low-skilled assembly lines. Then there's rising Chinese labor costs, which jumped 13.6 percent last year.
Still another is the risk of doing business in a country like China, a dictatorship with a still-uncertain future. This year's rumors of a military coup in Beijing spooked not only financial markets, but also CEOs of American companies looking at the vulnerability of their China-based operations if that country descends into chaos.
By contrast, producing in America comes with the rule of law and an environment that still fosters free-market competition, including for labor. As the number of right-to-work states grows (Indiana became the 23rd in February), expect firms both American and foreign to look to open plants where labor isn't stifled by union rules, and where they can deploy the latest "smart" manufacturing technologies.
Michelin is breaking ground on a new tire plant in South Carolina; Volkswagen has new facilities in Chatanooga, Tenn., and Airbus is building a $600 million plant in Mobile, Ala. Samsung plans to invest more than $20 billion in various US manufacturing enterprises.
Those "smart" technologies involve lasers and new artificial materials and alloys — as well as computerized databases and cloud information technology to lower costs and speed up delivery. Just around the corner: "3-D printing," which can make specific products literally at the click of a mouse — including athletic apparel.
So don't let the Olympic-uniform flap hide the bigger story. The future of manufacturing is right here in the United States — just as it was in the age of Carnegie and Rockefeller and Henry Ford.
"Made in the USA" is here to stay.
Arthur Herman's latest book is "Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War Two."

Cattle Producers "Beefing" Up Cattle
KSCB News - May 21, 2013 8:37 am
Cattle feeders in the U.S. are coping with smaller herds and high corn costs in part by using more growth-inducing drugs designed to bulk up animals and get more beef from each carcass.
Accelerated use of the drugs, known as "beta-agonists," is defended by producers who say they are essential to withstanding the drought. Their pharmaceutical creators insist the additives are safe.
Their use is drawing new scrutiny both at home and abroad. Russia and other key markets have banned them. Some domestic producers worry about the potential effects on tenderness and flavor.
In February, Russia joined the European Union and China in banning beef raised on the additives.
The United States blames politics for the export bans. But some U.S. consumer groups are taking notice.
