Pro leagues, NCAA take on NJ
The four major pro sports leagues and the NCAA have filed legal papers calling New Jersey's effort to allow sports gambling an "unlawful scheme" and a "blatant violation" of federal law.
The leagues sued Gov. Chris Christie in August after he announced plans to allow gambling on pro and college games at casinos and racetracks. New Jersey's legislature passed a sports betting law earlier in the year.
The state has sought to have the lawsuit thrown out, and the motion filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Trenton was a response to that.
In the brief, the leagues reject New Jersey's argument that a 1992 federal law restricting sports gambling to a handful of states is unconstitutional.
The NCAA has already pulled some events from New Jersey over the dispute.

Sears Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD) is the third largest general merchandise retail company in the United States after Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT). SHLD operates under the Sears and Kmart names in the US and Canada. Product offerings in SHLD stores include apparel, jewelry, appliances, hardware, sporting goods, car repair services, home improvement services and electronics.
The company was formed in 2005 by the merger of Sears Roebuck (Sears) and Kmart Holdings. The merger was coordinated by Edward Lampert, the current Chairman, whom now holds over 54% of the shares outstanding through his hedge fund ESL Investments.[1] Despite strong brand recognition, Sears Holdings, as with Kmart and Sears before it, has suffered several successive years of falling sales and market share erosion. These negative trends can be largely attributed to increasing competition in the industry. Other retail giants such as Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and Target (TGT) have been aggressively capturing ever greater amounts of customers' wallet share through expanded selections and steeper discounts.
Sears Holdings is composed of three business segments: Kmart, Sears Domestic, and Sears Canada.The firm has no international presence outside of Canada. SHLD's product assortments in both Sears Department Stores as well as Kmart SuperStores and Discount Stores cover virtually all product categories: clothing, major home appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers, etc.), home improvement/home repair, auto repair services, and groceries.
SHLD owns and trademarks many popular brands which help to increase company visibility and boost sales. Some of the company's most popular brands are:
SHLD has securitized the Kenmore, Craftsman, and Diehard brands into KCD IP (Kenmore Craftsman DieHard intellectual property), a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. In addition, the company also has th rights to sell an exclusive line of Jaclyn Smith and Martha Stewart Everyday products.
Sears announced the launch of AdYourWay, a shopping tool that caters to the needs of each individual customer. The tool "gets to know" the customer by analyzing product selection and then displays personalized content and customized recommendations. For example, a customer can "follow" an item and receive notifications when it is on sale. As David Friedman, senior vice president and president of marketing, puts it "AdYourWay is a unique shopping tool that puts control back into the hands of our customers, allowing them to manage and organize both the products and the offers that interest them.[3]
AdYourWay marks a growing trend where retailers are using technology to better serve their customers. For example, Nordstrom (JWN) puts RFID chips on all of its items so that online customers can see exactly what is in each store and so that the store has better inventory management. As a result of this technological improvement, Nordstrom was able to better withstand the negative effects of the sluggish economy compared to its competitors. AdYourWay provides customers with an enhanced and more efficient shopping experience, which the company hopes to turn into more revenue.
Department stores are increasingly seeking to distinguish themselves and earn higher profit margins by offering exclusive brands and private label brands. Exclusive brands are brands marketed under the wholesaler's name that are sold only in a particular chain; one exclusive brand at Sears is the Craftsman line that can only be purchased online or at Sears stores. Private label brands are produced by wholesalers, but sold under the brand name of the retailer. Exclusive brands such as Kenmore and Craftsman, can help draw customers into Sears stores, as the products can only be found at Sears. [4] Craftsman tools can also be purchased at Costco and Ace Hardware.
Sears Holdings is the third largest general merchandise retailer in the world (in terms of net sales) behind big box retailers Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT), whose enormous scale allows each to extract value in their inventory purchases and pass these savings on to consumers. SHLD's competitors in the mid-tier department store industry include Macy's Inc. (M), J.C. Penney (JCP), and Kohl's (KSS).

WORCESTER � About 50 area residents gathered at the Peace Park on Pleasant Street Sunday night to react peacefully to the verdict in the George Zimmerman case.
Mr. Zimmerman, who was charged in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, was found not guilty late Saturday. Peace circles were held in cities across the country to mark the event.
Those who attended the peace circle said they hope that the number of attendees won't dwindle when the shock wears off. They want to become more involved in their community and work to combat racism.
A 14-year-old boy who lives near the park said he would like workshops tailored to the city's young people organized. Nori Needle said he wants his peers to learn what to do if they feel they are being racially profiled. He doesn't want to have to rely on adults but rather wants to help youths learn ways to handle such situations on their own.
He also wants to change the attitude of young people whose language could be construed as racist.
"I have friends that say the N word and they're white," he said, adding that when he asks them to stop, they tell him there aren't any black people nearby so no one will be offended.
Cedric Arno spoke and said people need to get involved locally. He urged young people to get involved and pointed out that there are younger candidates running for office in Worcester.
While some were disappointed that Mr. Zimmerman was not found guilty, others, including Robert Jones of Westboro, said there is a difference between the law and justice.
"Law and justice are not the same," he said, adding that while the jury probably followed the letter of the law, the verdict did not bring the justice some people sought.
"We have the best system that's out there," he said. "But it can get better."
Mr. Jones, associate director of the Multicultural Peer Education Program at the College of the Holy Cross, said the organizers of the peace circle have attended a training on undoing racism and thought the opportunity for people to "say your piece in a peaceful way."
A second event organized by a different group will be held Monday night, with participants planning to don hoodies and meet at Chandler Street and Park Avenue at 9:45 p.m. The group will walk to the 7-Eleven store at May Street and Park Avenue to buy Skittles candy, which Mr. Martin did shortly before his death. The group will hold signs on Park Avenue until 11 p.m.

ABC Radio Canberra is losing its now most experienced presenter, with widely-respected announcer Genevieve Jacobs being made redundant by the broadcaster - against her wishes.
A "very sad" Ms Jacobs, 50, made the shock announcement that she would be leaving the ABC during her Mornings program on Wednesday.
She made it clear it had not been her decision to leave the position, saying ABC management had told her her "services were no longer required on air".
Ms Jacobs' usually assured delivery was missing as her voice shook with emotion relaying the news to her dedicated listeners.
"I've been very proud to be a voice for the people right across the region, to speak for the bush and the suburbs and the city," she said, on air.
"I've always tried to act with integrity and fairness. Not to give in to the bullies and to use the yardstick of common sense in the way I approach all issues. And if I've erred or failed, I've tried to honestly rectify that. Mostly, I've always tried to tell you the truth.
"You are such kind, smart, good people. You are the best of Australia. You are my neighbours, you're my community and it's been the greatest privilege to serve you.
"I'm not leaving Canberra or retiring."
Supportive comments came within minutes of Ms Jacobs making her announcement, including from Canberra Museum and Gallery director Shane Breynard who called her a "master broadcaster".
"We have been so lucky to have her in the role," he tweeted.
Listeners, too, reacted with emotion as the program went on.
"I'm sorry to the people who are ringing to say they're in tears," Ms Jacobs said.
"That's happening here too."
Others tweeted that it was "a terrible decision'' and that the "ABC is being gutted. It's really sad".
After reading the morning news, Susan McDonald made sure to praise Ms Jacobs, telling her she had been a valued colleague and would be very much missed.
Before going on air, Ms Jacobs emailed contacts telling them at 50 she had no plans to retire and while her career with the ABC was over, she certainly was "not out".
"I'm writing to let you know that about a month ago ABC Canberra manager Michelle Ainsworth told me that my services were no longer required on air. This makes me very sad," she said, in the email.
"I'll be telling the listeners this morning and I wanted to let so many of you who have been friends, guests, colleagues and comrades know too. I thank you all for your generous friendship and everything we've shared on the radio over the past decade.
"I do love nothing more than a good yarn about a big idea and so many of you have helped make that possible."
Ms Jacobs has been with ABC Radio Canberra, formerly 666 ABC Canberra, for a decade, gaining a reputation for presenting intelligent interviews, asking the tough questions when needed and understanding the local community.
It's understood that when Ms Jacobs objected to being dumped, ABC management did offer her a replacement position - as an off-air producer, a slap in the face for someone with her profile and following.
She is also sought-after as a professional MC and interviewer at events around Canberra, especially with the national institutions.
Ms Jacobs is the third high-profile and long-standing female presenter to leave the ABC in Canberra in the past year.
Afternoons presenter Alex Sloan left ABC Radio Canberra last December after 22 years with the station.
ABC Canberra TV news presenter Virginia Haussegger left the ABC last October after reading the news for the national capital for 15 years.
Added to this, journalist and regular news reader Siobhan Heanue has also left Canberra, but continues with the ABC, as its newly-appointed South Asia correspondent, based in Delhi.
And experienced presenter Louise Maher in 2012 was moved out of the Drive shift to become a field reporter.
It also follows the departure last week of breakfast announcer Red Symons from ABC Radio Melbourne after he was offered "other things" by ABC management but decided to leave.
Ms Jacobs' leaving comes amidst the ABC's "diversity drive" - the broadcaster determined to hire more people from minority backgrounds.
Her departure is also at a time when there is rumoured to be moves to merge ABC radio and TV in Canberra, so that they share the same presenters and content.
That has already been seen by the hiring of Dan Bourchier who presents Breakfast on ABC Radio Canberra as well as the 7pm News bulletin on ABC TV from Monday to Thursday.
It's understood the new boss at the ABC in Canberra, Michelle Ainsworth, delivered the decision to Ms Jacobs that she was no longer required.
But there is a strong belief at the ABC's Dickson headquarters that it is a directive straight from management at Sydney as the national broadcaster scrambles to make changes and show it is relevant.
There are concerns within the ABC ranks that experienced presenters are being sidelined for younger broadcasters with less understanding of their audience, in the name of youth and diversity.
A statement from ABC management made no mention that Ms Jacobs had been made redundant, only that she would "not be returning to ABC Radio Canberra in 2018"..
"Genevieve is known for her strong connection with local issues, warm, well-informed interview style, and robust discussions during the fortnightly Chief Minister Talkback segment," the statement read.
Michelle Ainsworth, editor ABC Canberra, thanked Genevieve for her contribution to local radio.
"Genevieve has made a terrific contribution to ABC Radio Canberra over the past 11 years," Ms Ainsworth said.
"She is a highly respected journalist and broadcaster who has presented a number programs and connected deeply with the community over local stories and issues. With Genevieve's departure from ABC Radio Canberra we'll take the opportunity to refresh the program in 2018.
"We wish Genevieve all the best for the future."
The 9am to noon ratings slot is shared on ABC Radio Canberra between Ms Jacobs on Mornings until 11 and then the nationally-syndicated show Conversations with Richard Fidler until noon.
ABC Canberra Radio has lost market share in the ratings for the timeslot over the year, falling from around 15 per cent to around 11 per cent, losing footing with the commercial FM stations Hit 104.7 and Mix 106.3, which have forged ahead.
Ms Jacobs has been a journalist for almost 30 years, starting on small country newspapers and working across print and radio.
ABC Radio Canberra is due to go into its summer broadcasting on December 15. There was some speculation it had been trying to delay any announcement about Ms Jacob's departure until then, to avoid any controversy. Ms Jacobs' final program will be broadcast on December 15.
The local weekday presenters remaining with the station, so far, are Bourchier, Laura Tchilinguirian (Afternoons) and Adam Shirley (Drive).
A further announcement about the 2018 lineup on ABC Radio Canberra is expected to be released on Wednesday afternoon.

Most Insightful, Funniest Comments Of The Week On Techdirt
from the keep-it-going dept
I was about to make a joke about the fact that he thinks running a company means you get to change legislation, but then I had a rather depressing "oh wait" moment...Indeed. Coming in second place was a comment by RD on the discussion about a Florida judge barring activists from handing out a pamphlet about jury duty. The discussion in the comments quickly turned to jury nullification, with someone daring other commenters to prove that the founding fathers did, in fact, support jury nullification. RD provided the goods. As an aside, RD also ended that comment with a pretty nasty, acronymical insult directed at the person who made the initial challenge, which sent the comment thread off on an unfortunate tangent. Hopefully we can avoid that in the future.
Jurors should acquit, even against the judge's instruction...if exercising their judgement with discretion and honesty they have a clear conviction the charge of the court is wrong.And, just because we can, I'm going to include two more that were also ranked really high. The first was a comment from an Anonymous Coward, in response to the news that prostitution seems to have moved from Craigslist to Facebook:
-- Alexander Hamilton, 1804
It is not only the juror's right, but his duty to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement and conscience, though in direct opposition to the instruction of the court.
--John Adams, 1771
I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1789
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their choice, if the laws are so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they... undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow
-- James Madison
Well, first, AGs will whine with no legal basis until Facebook creates a special adult section. Then the AGs will whine with no legal basis until Facebook charges a premium to get access to the adult section. Then the AGs will whine with no legal basis because Facebook is making money off of prostitution!And finally a comment from Ima Fish concerning the decision by Activision to kill off Guitar Hero, in part due to increasing demands from the recording industry for more in licensing fees:
The adult section will be shut down, the prostitutes will move somewhere else (maybe Twitter is next?), the AGs will get reelected because the electorate is ignorant, and we'll repeat the whole process over
God, Guitar Hero and Rock Band we totally awesome in exposing kids to new (and old) music. Take Eye of the Tiger, for example. Every school kid in north America knows that song. Because they're fans of the Rocky movies? Nope, because it's included in both games.All four comments had pretty similar ratings. Moving on to the funny side of the equation, the winning comment (which also got plenty of insightful votes) came from an Anonymous Coward, speaking out (sarcastically, I assume) concerning the news that rockstar DJ David Guetta thought the best way to beat piracy is to give your music away for free:
Metallica, AC/DC, and plenty of others are finding an entirely new generation of fans. Well, were finding an entirely new generation of fans.
I've said it before, if radio was invented now, it would have been sued and priced out of existence. And the whole era of selling tons of overpriced music etched on vinyl and plastic never would have existed.
For crying out loud Masnick,Indeed. If only we had a way for talentless hacks the public can't stand to make money from their music. Coming in second place, we had cseiter with a play on words in our post about whether or not tools ever die off. We meant technology, but cseiter took it in a different direction:
every single scenario you suggest works just fine for talented people, that the public want to support. But not one single scenario you put forward where free can be used to promote sales will work for talentless hacks that the public cannot stand.
When and only when you can present a strategy of "free" that will benefit the pointless and the useless will you have a model that can successfully replace the traditional role of labels and studio
They don't make honest politicians anymore, and they are technically tools.Honorable mention goes to Dark Helmet who came in both third & fourth. Third place was his comment on the post questioning whether turning YouTube videos into MP3s was any different than recording off the radio:
this situation will be said to be completely different because the internet is involved, and the RIAA is pretty sure that every time you record a YouTube stream as a digital recording, sixteen month-old puppies are personally drowned by Julian Assange....And, I'm including his fourth place comment, because it was my personal favorite of the week, and if (as has been accused), I rigged the vote, this one would have won. On the post questioning whether or not it was copyright infringement to pass a DMCA notice to ChillingEffects.org, Dark Helmet first offered his own services in crafting DMCA notices in poetic form to make sure they could be covered by copyright. He offered a brilliant sample:
I, (Company/Individual Name), certify here,And, with that, I leave you to prepare for the new week...
Under penalties of perjury severe,
That I am an authorized agent to act,
On behalf of owners, its fact,
Of certain intellectual property rights,
For which the work to produce took many days and many nights,
I have it on good faith, that items in your space,

The Three Levels of Self-Awareness
Author. Thinker. Life Enthusiast.
S elf-awareness is like great sex: everyone thinks they have a ton of it, but in reality no one knows what the fuck they're doing.
The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Our
MSGMROUCHED High heeled sandals blue 68hXqZNnKU
, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don't have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
The problem is when we're on autopilot for so long that we forget we're on autopilot. Because when we're not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them; they control us. Whereas a person with self-awareness is able to exercise a little

and say, "Hmm… every time my sister calls me and asks for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodka. That might not be a coincidence," a person without self-awareness just hits the bottle and doesn't look back.
Below are three levels of self-awareness along with a caveat. Why three levels? Who the fuck knows? Just go with it.
There's a lot of pain and suckage in life. Over the last 30 days, how many times have you:
Chances are if you add all of those up, you're going to be pretty close to 30 out of the last 30 days. That's a lot of suckage!
We avoid pain through distraction. We transport our minds to some other time or place or world, where it can be safe and insulated from the pain of day-to-day life. We stare at our phones , we obsess about the past or our potential futures, make plans we'll never keep, or simply try to forget. We eat, drink, and fuck ourselves into numbness to dull the reality of our problems. We use books, movies, games, and music to carry us to another world where no pain exists, and everything always feels easy and good and right.
Now, there's nothing wrong with distraction. We all need some sort of diversion to keep us sane and
SorelEMELIE CHELSEA Classic ankle boots camel XaXdectnm
The key is that we need to be aware of our distractions.
Put another way, we need to make sure that we're choosing our distractions and our distractions aren't choosing us. We're the ones opting into the distraction, rather than simply being unable to opt out of distraction. We need to know when we're checking out. Our distraction needs to be planned and moderated in bite-sized chunks. We can't binge on distraction.

Salvete all,
Long time no, er, type. I've been busy with other things over the past few weeks so haven't been able to give as much time to the old Latin as I would have liked, but now that I'm back, a deluge of queries and questions can be expected!! First up, does anyone have any idea of the derivation of comperi? I'm thinking componere, to put together, compose, but if it is, it's in a form I don't recognise. To give some context, it appears as "Itaque, ut comperi legatos Allobrogum belli Transalpini..." in Cicero's In Catilnam Oratio, excerpted in Wheelock. I'd give the whole sentence but I want to try and figure out the rest myself! Thanks in advance,

Welcome to Robo Chat Challenge 2014!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a pivotal role in the growing impact of chat-bots in popular culture, and is the reason behind the existence of chat bots today.
The diversity of chatbots and their rapidly evolving set of capabilities make this an exciting and challenging time to hold a chatbot contest.
A new market has evolved catering to this specialized area of chatbots, and has come forth from the world of academia and special interest groups into the public domain.
'Robo Chat Challenge' was first held in 2012, and this year 'Robo Chat Challenge 2014' is finished, where chatbots can participate from all over the world.
Due to the minimal restrictions including the type of technology used in designing and creating chatbots, this is a unique and one-of-a-kind type of tournament.
The competition will begin in the month of May, and 'botmasters' from all across the globe can submit their chatbots to be evaluated for competency.
Each chatbot entered will be required to answer a series of diverse questions, and will be scored on its responses by a panel of independent judges according to pre-set criteria.
The top ten bots move to a Final Round, in which an additional series of questions will be posed to these finalists. The winner of the competition is a chatbot that has scored highest among the finalists.
Please note, all judges decisions are indisputable and final.

"If an unborn baby is anesthetized before surgery, shouldn't he be anesthetized before dismemberment?" asks Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "Louisiana legislators are to be commended for taking action on fetal pain legislation."
Fr. Pavone's remarks are in response to passage by the Louisiana House's Health and Welfare Committee of a bill to ensure that women seeking to abort pregnancies of 20 weeks gestation or more are offered the option of having their unborn babies anesthetized. The measure now goes to the full House for consideration.
"We have laws in this nation that regulate the slaughter of animals, so that it is done in a humane and painless way, yet children are slaughtered without a thought of their pain. Of course, children should not be slaughtered at all, and this legislation will also help us face that fact," Fr. Pavone concluded.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Achievements are a time sink that is lower in my list of priorities for WoW, which reminds me that I really need to go grind for some rep and get another flying mount. Achievements that give some kind of rewards are another story. I tried to put a raid together to go kill all the horde achievements, but more importantly that it grants you the reigns of [Reins of the Black War Bear].
The story begins a couple of weeks before. We've had a handful of guilds wanting to do run with us and had the chance to do Naxx 25 and OS 25 last week. Also some of them have been asking to merge, but we are not interested on dropping our name or having 1337 players that will tell our friends how much they need to improve. We have a couple of smaller guilds that are pretty much extended members and they provide us with whatever we need to fill groups. As far as mergers we were only interested on mature players that wanted to raid during the evenings and weekends. In our low population server this seemed almost impossible to accomplish, but we were not in a hurry. There was a guild that was recommended by one of our new members, so I started conversations with their GM two weeks ago. We set up events together to have most of them not available… they seemed interested but really could not seem make the effort. Most guilds seem to overstate their membership, and they told me they had 10 regular players but I never saw more than 5 online at once. I was not holding my breath, but it would have been very nice to fill the guild with players that would take us to being able to do a full 25 man with mostly BoondockSaints.
I have been leveling my priest. We really are goon on healers right now since our main healer is back from an extended vacation and we have added 4 new people that do an excellent job keeping our tanks alive. But I leveled Logtar extremely fast and did not get to enjoy the labor of love that is running things your level and working on your professions. I have been having fun healing BGs and old world dungeons with the priest.
This past weekend I had the best group in a long time. The pace was good, the people were funny and polite and we just had a blast in Sunken Temple. It made me remember the times when I grouped with Moon and Star back when we were all 40s. So after we finished the dungeons I asked if there was anyone over 20. Someone replied and told me they were over 30 but would not say how old. We stayed and chatted for a bit and what do you know… there was a small guild of people that were trying to do heroics, and they were all real life friends all over 30. Not just that, they were looking for a guild our size to come to. I did not get too excited, I discussed it with the officers as a just maybe type of deal. The following day some of them got to run with one of your heavy DPSers and we exchanged tells back and forth.
The next day I get a tell… hey, someone wants to ask you a couple of questions… I said sure. We chatted for a couple of minutes, and then, ok, we're ready. We all want to come over… O.o
Seriously? Yeap, our guild merged just like that… the next day everyone was on vent and their personalities fit right in! So now with over 20 people on we said, hey lets do For The Alliance… and BAM, full raid in about 15 minutes.
We had attempted to kill Sylvanas Windrunner in The Undercity not too long ago, but we had maybe 15 people in the raid we knew and the 5 extra just did not push us over on DPS. We got her half way down and then THE HORDE showed up. I did not have high expectations because I have seen what happens when a horde town is attacked and how quickly they come and counter any attempt.
To my surprise though, the group did awesome and we not only pwned the Windrunner, we pwned the resistance that showed up at Undercity. We did so well that we headed to kill Lor'Themar Theron in Silvermoon City and got him even faster. People started talking about Ogrimar and my death alarm started going off, but I said what the heck… portals up, lets get it on.
This is when the heavy horde numbers started to show up, but we pushed through even as we got separated and had to do the fight with Warchief Thrall in Orgrimmar with almost half of the people from the raid on ghost form. This was at 9:00 P.M server time when most people in our server play. We struggled but we killed him… had a harder time getting out of Orgrimmar but prevailed. That is when we got a little too confident and when we showed up to kill Cairne Bloodhoof in Thunder Bluff we were outnumbered.
I was not sure about attempting to finish it the next day, but when we had almost 30 people in the guild on, and getting a couple of tells from the people that got on our raid the night before, I said sure. We slowly got a lock and a small group to the north of Thunderbluff, got everyone summoned and with only a handful of people besides the twenty some from our guild we killed eat more Tauren. We circled around and killed the Windrunner again since not everyone was on the night before, but were stomped in Orgrimar since we lacked the numbers we had the night before. Most people in our guild now have the Warbear, and now its just a matter of getting it for other alts. Its a neat achievement to complete because you truly need to be able to lead a raid of 40 which is like trying to get 40 monkeys to sit still.

Reactions to the early May 2011 capture and death of Osama Bin Laden are multiple and vary in intensity, yet it is clear that anthropologists have much knowledge and insight to offer each other and the rest of the world. Notice the Free Speech Anthropology Forum tab on this blog in order to stress the value of space for thoughtful, scholarly, and analytic debate and discussion among anthropologists and others we seek to reach. AAA endorses and seeks to facilitate the space for dissent, free speech, and thoughtful analysis. At times like this one, when many are either just euphoric or others offer critiques that look quite politically partisan, it may be more important than ever to endorse thoughtful, scholarly, analytic discussion and commentary.
The future will no doubt bring us other subjects of similar intensity and public attention, but this seems to be an especially apt time for our Free Speech Anthropology Forum tab on this blog, providing our members with the space and the opportunity to engage in important but possibly difficult exchanges over reactions to the Bin Laden death.

Wholistic medicine focuses on body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit. This extends the range of conceptualization of the causes of illnesses and of potential ways for dealing with them. More on this below.
Labeling terms
Give it a name and you feel you know what you're talking about.
Words are analogs for perceptions and actions that allow us to communicate with each other about our personal experiences, feelings, desires, and thoughts. Words are learned through the cultural conditioning of our families, schools, and the broader cultural milieu.
While words can facilitate learning, they may also retard or even obstruct learning. The commonly accepted use of a label may impede changes in perceptions about that subject, and may make it difficult to change our ways of relating to the concepts conveyed by the label. This is a serious problem in health care.
The words we use to define our relationships between caregivers and careseekers shape the course of treatment. Each of these terms deserves scrutiny.
Healing comes from Germanic and Old English roots that mean to make whole. Within Western medicine, healing has been narrowed in common parlance to mean restoration of the body or psyche to its pre-traumatized condition.
Among practitioners of Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, Reiki, and numerous other such traditions, healing refers to the laying-on of hands and/or to healing by mental intent, meditation, and/or prayer. Within the community of healers, there are widely varying opinions about the best name for this therapeutic modality (Benor 2001a: b).
The laying-on of hands has been used for many centuries – offered within religious contexts and by Monarchs of Europe. This has colored an otherwise simple, descriptive term with religious overtones that many find uncomfortable.
Spiritual healing alludes to the spiritual awarenesses and awakenings that occur in healers and healees during and as a result of healing. Within this understanding of healing, the process is one of growth towards a deeper understanding of our connection with something vaster than ourselves. For some the vastness is that of the natural, physical and energetic universe; for others it includes an omniscient, omnipotent Deity. This is the term that I, the editor of the IJHC, prefer and the one I will use to designate this form of treatment. Where it is clear that this is the subject for discussion (i.e. not to be confused with healing of the physical body), the term healing alone will be used.
Faith healing is a term used by several groups.
Members of some religious communities believe that faith in their teachings about religion is required in order for healing to occur, that illness is manifested when members of the flock lack faith; and that health will be restored when faith is restored. Members of these communities – who hold to these beliefs – may indeed be able to influence their states of health through acts of faith. There are sects who handle hot coals and poisonous snakes, as well as ingesting cyanide to prove their faith.

Bearing in mind that this cinema sits in the middle of a village that doesn't exactly boast of a youthful population, I knew there must be some reason they were flocking to watch a super-hero film. That reason is Heath Ledger.

Pursuing a B.A. or B.S. Degree in Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry recognizes the central nature of Chemistry among the Natural Sciences. Undergraduate research leading to publications is strongly encouraged and many of the laboratory-based courses have a research component built into them. Recent graduates in Chemistry have gone on to careers in chemical industry, government, education, and academia.
Our department offers two degree programs for undergraduates seeking to major in Chemistry: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. Your academic advisor helps to see your way through your program, and a useful resource in this regard is the Chemistry Student Handbook.
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Chemistry
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) prepares undergraduate students for careers in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Chemistry-related occupations or for further study in graduate or professional schools. The B.S. in Chemistry is the only undergraduate program in the State of Alaska approved by the American Chemical Society's Committee on Professional Training. This approval gives national recognition of the program's quality. Our undergraduate majors may also choose to declare a concentration in Environmental Chemistry or Biochemistry.
B.S. in Chemistry with Biochemistry Concentration
Students pursuing a major in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry study the molecular aspects of biology, particularly related to nucleic acids, proteins, membrane structures, and their interactions. A broad range of biomedical research experiences are available including molecular and cellular neuroscience, proteomics, protein structure-function and molecular toxicology. The arctic environment provides additional research opportunities in environmental biochemistry, adaptations and molecular genetics.
Graduates with a Biochemistry Concentration often begin careers in industry or pursue further education in prestigious graduate or medical schools.
B.S. in Chemistry with Environmental Chemistry Concentration
Environmental Chemistry is a diverse and highly interdisciplinary field that focus on the chemical processes influencing the composition and chemical speciation of natural systems (air, water and soils), the chemical fate and mobility of contaminants in the environment, chemical processes that affect the toxicity and bioavailabilty of contaminants, and chemical aspects of contaminant remediation and pollution prevention (green chemistry). The common link to all these areas of study is a focus on the underlying chemical structure, reactivity and mechanisms that dictate the extent and rates of environmentally important chemical reactions. Environmental chemistry is a challenging field requiring core training in physical, analytical, organic and inorganic chemistry and an understanding of how these disciplines can be applied to complex environmental systems. It is also a highly rewarding discipline, as it provides a quantitative and fundamental approach to understanding the processes that influence the quality of our environment.
The Environmental Chemistry Concentration prepares students for public and private sector jobs related to Environmental Science and Technology, or for graduate programs in Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry and related disciplines. Students take additional courses in geology, biology or atmospheric science and work with a faculty advisor to pursue research in their area of interest.
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Chemistry
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) provides breadth in the curriculum and requires more humanities courses than the B.S. degree. The B.A. best prepares students for careers in chemistry-related fields such as environmental law, forensic science, science education, or anthropology. Upper division B.A. students are eligible for competitive teaching assistanceships which strengthen leadership and communication skills. Students may choose to declare an optional concentration in forensic chemistry.
B.A. in Chemistry with Forensic Chemistry Concentration
The Forensic Chemistry B.A. Concentration is designed to prepare students for careers or further education using chemistry to problems related to investigation of crime. The program builds upon our core chemistry courses, adding courses from UAF's Justice program.
Recent Graduate Spotlight
Charlie Stark graduated from the B.S. Chemistry program cum laude in 2010. While at UAF, he won the Alaska Chapter ACS award. In Summer 2010, he was an assistant/second chemist at Bristol industries, performing analytical work out on St. Lawrence Island. In Fall 2010, he began Ph.D. studies at Montana State in Bozeman.

PHOENIX (AP) — A man apparently killed his estranged wife, their teenage daughter and a male friend Tuesday at a north Phoenix home before killing himself, police said.
Police found the woman's body burned in the home's backyard. The daughter's body was found inside the home, and the male victim was found shot in the front yard, Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump said.
Police eventually found the suspect's body in a nearby alley and believe he shot himself.
The names of the suspect and the victims have not been released.
Neighbors called police at about 4 p.m. Tuesday after hearing gunshots, and dispatchers could hear gunfire in the background of the 911 calls, Crump told reporters.
Much of the residential neighborhood was evacuated until police used a robot to determine the suspect was no longer inside the home.
Police said the couple was going through a divorce and the woman went to the house to get some of her belongings with her daughter and the male friend.
The couple who lived at the home was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday regarding a protective order the wife had sought against her husband, police said. It was not immediately clear whether the hearing took place.
Crump said police were last called to the house about a month ago, when someone at the home was threatening suicide.

After being severely punished by the financial crisis, second-home activity is on the rise.
That's according to a new report from Fannie Mae's David Kopita, who took a look at the phenomenon.
Kopita said the uneven economic recovery has benefited the second-home buyer, who tends to be older, to earn more and to make a larger down payment. "The recovery in financial markets has allowed many second-home buyers … to sell some of their assets to buy second homes or use dividend payments from these assets to cover second-home mortgage expenses," the report said.
Another boost has come from the slow recovery in home prices in Florida, one of the most popular states for second homes. "Given the relatively gradual recovery in Florida and the fact that it accounts for the largest share of second-home mortgage originations at 17% since 1998, second-home buyers have an opportunity to buy in Florida at a bargain price. Furthermore, because prices of financial assets have recovered more quickly than home prices, second-home buyers have a near-term opportunity to deploy some of their financial wealth to acquire homes at comparative bargain prices," the report said.

CHICAGO (AP) - A rainstorm pummeling the Chicago area has ripped open a sinkhole large enough to swallow three cars, injuring one driver bad enough that he had to be hospitalized.
Chicago Police Department spokesman Mike Sullivan says the gaping hole opened up in a street on the city's South Side, near Lake Michigan.
He says the injured man was driving when the road buckled and caved in. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The other two cars were parked.
Flooding has also forced authorities to close sections of several major expressways around Chicago. Schools have been canceled, and several hundred flights were scrapped at O'Hare International Airport, where Thursday's storm has dumped more than 5 inches of rain.
Two more inches was expected throughout the day.

Check out this NYT article .
When I first saw this I thought it was a joke. But it seems it's not.
Here a short version of the story:
A scientist, Susumu Tachi, has a raincoat that is partly invisible! Well, really it's not, but that how it looks. The thing is that the scientis has a videocamera-system that can project video onto a special fabric. So what is actually happening is he's recording what's behind the raincoat and projects it to the front-side of it. Neat!
I bet the army can find this useful for camouflage - if they can develop the system further. But this inevention can probably be used for lots of stuff. How about free enterance to the movies and the girls locker room?
More stories about the invisible coat here: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=susumu+tachi
And WTF has this to do with security, you might say? Such a cool invention deserves to hit the front page!
