Who will be the big screen's next Sigourney Weaver? We've had a few years now without any great action movies starring women, but 2010 could be the year this changes. Here are six picks for the action heroines of tomorrow.
It's been a few years since Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov allegedly said, "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead," in the wake of huge flops starring Jodi Foster and Nicole Kidman. And sure enough, the past few years have been pretty light on female-led blockbusters. But this year, it seems like the groundwork is getting laid for some killer women in the cinema.
Check out the candidates, plus two veterans who are coming back to action-lead status this summer:
Zoe Saldana
Sure Zoe Saldana blew our minds, jumping from flower to flower with Jake Sully, praying after she kills Pandoran puppies, and finally battling the big power suit to defend her man. Plus she suffered no fools aboard Star Trek's Enterprise as Uhura. But up until now she's still been playing second fiddle to Kirk, Spock and James Cameron's jungle wilderness. That could be changing — Saldana's next film, this Friday's The Losers, promises to show us a much deadlier side of Zoe. And pending on the films box office success, her cold-blooded killer character, Aisha al-Fadhil, could set her up as the next box office heroine.
Olivia Wilde
We've been singing Wilde's praises the second we heard she was cast in the Tron sequel. Because who else could kick Sam Flynn's ass in a lightcycle race? She established her greatness as House's Thirteen, a character who could easily goes head to head with the highly intimidating Hugh Laurie. Now she's Quorra, a program in Tron Legacy. And don't let those wedge boots fool you, if the glimpses in the trailer are to be believed, she certainly knows how to throw a mean disc. Tron Legacy will no doubt be massive, and we're banking it will launch her film career as a silver screen bad ass, as well. It may have already, since she's been cast to fight off aliens alongside Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in Cowboys and Aliens.
Alice Braga
Alice Braga won our hearts when she did the hump-hump cut-cut dance with Jude Law in Repo Men. Who else could make slicing open your partner while feeling around inside his chest sexy? Now she's a rifle-toting black ops expert in Robert Rodriguez's Predators, named Isabelle. Did we mention she's the only woman on the team of men fighting off the alien foe? Plus if there's one thing Rodriguez likes to do, it's get behind bad-ass women. We're expecting many more gun-toting, machete-swinging moments from this one.
Chloe Moretz
If they retitled Kick-Ass Hit Girl, we bet it would have had a better opening weekend, based on this actress' word of mouth alone. Moretz is by far the star of that ultra-bloody film. She causes an uproar sticking blades in the backs of New York mobsters, as purple-haired vigilante Hit Girl. Plus her filthy little mouth doesn't hurt one bit. To the haters, we say Moretz's c-word greeting is the new "yippee ki yay mother fucker." And she's not done killing yet. Don't forget her next role as the murderous vampire in Let Me In. Moretz's on-screen body count shows no signs of slowing down.
Isabel Lucas
Still relatively unknown, or rather known as the girl with the metal tongue from Transformers 2, we were smitten with her the minute she started chomping on her own arm in the vampiric flick Daybreakers. She's young and not afraid to tackle the ridiculous action-packed roles that been put before her. Plus her next roll is takes-no-shit Erica in the Red Dawn, a film about a "group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of Chinese and Russian soldiers." And yes, there's plenty of death to go round in the original, so lets hope the remake follows suit for Lucas. Plus if that hasn't convinced you she's also starring as the mighty warrior God Athena in Immortals.
Adrianne Palicki
Palicki never quite crossed over from victim to vanquisher her in her role as the pregnant waitress in Legion, being attacked by God's army of angels, but she came close. We're hoping that this additional Red Dawn cast member gets her big break in this film as well, playing Toni, who was originally played by Jennifer Grey. I don't want to spoil the ending, but let's just say she gets the final say as far as how all the action goes down for her character. Wolverines!
Action Star Alumnae Who Can Help Spark The Insurgence:
And here are two women who have been AWOL for a while, but they're both making a comeback this summer as the stars of action movies. Maybe they'll help show the newcomers how it's done?
Angelina Jolie
Angelina is an established action hero already, with Tomb Raider and Mr. And Mrs. Smith. But her latest film Salt, which was originally written for Tom Cruise, is the first time she's starred in an action movie in half a decade. (She was an awesome co-star in Wanted.) Let's hope her return to the spy genre proves once and for all that the right female star can carry a slodey film.
Milla Jovovich
There is no doubt Jovovich's new Resident Evil film will burn down the house, with outrageous murders, gun fights, and face kicks. Will it be a massive hit? No — the RE films never are. But what the character Alice does offer is a boot to the gut of any person that says women can't be action stars.

evaluate the given form in Lisp
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS
General Form: (lisp form)
form. The
lisp command is mainly of interest for side
effects. See also
skip, and
The rest of the documentation for
lisp is of interest only to
those who use it in macro commands. If the Lisp evaluation (by
trans-eval) of form returns an ``error triple'' of the form
(mv erp ((NIL NIL STATE) . (erp-1 val-1 &)) state), then the
lisp command returns the appropriate error triple
(mv (or erp erp-1) val-1 state) .Otherwise, the
trans-eval of form must return an ``error triple''
of the form
(mv erp (cons stobjs-out val) &), and the
command returns the appropriate error triple
(mv erp val state).
Note that the output signature of the form has been lost. The user
must know the signature in order to use the output of the
command. Trans-eval, which is undocumented except by comments in
the ACL2 source code, has replaced, in
val, any occurrence of
the current state or the current values of stobjs by simple symbols
such as
REPLACED-STATE. The actual values of these objects may
be recovered, in principle, from the
state returned and the
user-stobj-alist within that state. However, in practice, the
stobjs cannot be recovered because the user is denied access to
user-stobj-alist. The moral is: do not try to write macro
commands that manipulate stobjs. Should the returned
REPLACED-STATE the value may simply be ignored and
state used, since that is what
REPLACED-STATE denotes.

Many of today's apps are enhanced by the use of geolocation – wireless detection of the physical location of a remote device. These apps determine the user's position and use this data to enhance user experience. For example, apps can capture the exact location where a picture was taken or determine what businesses stored in the database to return to the user based on their current location.
API Services provides a standard format for storing geolocation information in any entity, as well as syntax for querying that data based on distance from a latitude/longitude point.
Saving location data in an entity
In API Services, geolocation data is saved in the
location property of an entity
latitude and
longitude sub-properites in the following format:
"location": { "latitude": <latitude_coordinate>, "longitude": <longitude_coordinate> }
An entity's geolocation can be specified when the entity is created or added later by updating an existing entity.
For example, the following entity describes a restaurant:
{ "uuid" : "03ae956a-249f-11e3-9f80-d16344f5a0e1", "type" : "restaurant", "name" : "Rockadero", "location": { "latitude": 37.779632, "longitude": -122.395131 } "created" : 1379975113142, "modified" : 1379975113142, "metadata" : { "path" : "/restaurants/03ae956a-249f-11e3-9f80-d16344f5a0e1" }
Querying location data
Location-aware apps require the ability to return content and results based on the user's
current location. To easily enable this, API Services supports the following query parameter to
retrieve entities within a specified distance of any geocoordinate based on
location property:
location within <distance_in_meters> of <latitude>, <longitude>
The returned results are sorted from nearest to furthest. Entities with the same location are returned in the order they were created.
The location parameter can be appended to any standard API Services query. For more information on how to query your API Services data, see Querying your data.
For example, here is how you would find all the devices within 8,046 meters (~10 miles) of the center of San Francisco:
curl -X GET https://<baas_host_name>/your-org/your-app/devices?ql=location within 8046 of 37.774989,-122.419413
-(NSString*)geoQuery { //instantiate the App Delegate class AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[ [UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; //specify the entity type that you want to query NSString *type = @"device"; //instantiate the ApigeeQuery class ApigeeQuery *qs = [[ApigeeQuery alloc] init]; //add the location query to the query [qs addRequiredWithin:@"location" latitude:37.774989 longitude:-122.419413 distance:16000.00]; //call getEntities to initiate the request ApigeeClientResponse *entities = [appDelegate.dataClient getEntities:type query:qs]; @try { //success } @catch (NSException * e) { //error } }
//instantiate ApigeeClient and get an instance of ApigeeDataClient String ORGNAME = "your-org"; String APPNAME = "your-app"; ApigeeClient apigeeClient = new ApigeeClient(ORGNAME,APPNAME, getBaseContext()); ApigeeDataClient dataClient = apigeeClient.getDataClient(); //specify an entity type to retrieve String type = "device"; //entity type to be retrieved //specify our geo query, including distance, latitude and longitude String queryString = "location within 16000 of 37.774989, -122.419413"; //call getEntitiesAsync to initiate the asynchronous API call dataClient.getEntitiesAsync(type, queryString, new ApiResponseCallback() { @Override public void onException(Exception e) { // Error } @Override public void onResponse(ApiResponse response) { try { if (response != null) { // Success } } catch (Exception e) { //The API request returned an error // Fail } } });
JavaScript (HTML5)
var dataClient = new Apigee.Client({ orgName:'your-org', appName:'your-app' }); var options = { type:"item", //Required - the type of collection to be retrieved client:dataClient, qs:{ql:"location within 16000 of 37.774989, -122.419413"} }; //Create a collection object to hold the response var collection = new Apigee.Collection(options); //Call request to initiate the API call collection.fetch(function (error, response) { if (error) { //error } else { //success } });
#Create a client object usergrid_api = 'https://<baas_host_name>' organization = 'your-org' application = 'your-app' dataClient = Usergrid::Application.new "#{usergrid_api}/#{organization}/#{application}" begin # Retrieve the collection by referencing the [type] # and save the response response = dataClient['devices'].query("location within 16000 of 37.774989, -122.419413").entity rescue #fail end
var dataClient = new Usergrid.client({ orgName:'your-org', appName:'your-app' }); var options = { type:"item", //Required - the type of collection to be retrieved client:dataClient, qs:"location within 16000 of 37.774989, -122.419413" }; //Create a collection object to hold the response var collection = new Usergrid.collection(options); //Call request to initiate the API call collection.fetch(function (error, response) { if (error) { //error } else { //success } });
Enrich your app with location data
Location-awareness has become a feature users expect in many types of mobile applications because of its ability to create a more personalized and relevant experience for each user. With this in mind, the geolocation feature in API Services was designed to work with many of the available default data entities to allow app developers to easily integrate powerful in-app features that can increase user engagement.
Here are just a few of the ways that saving location data to a data entity can improve an app:
|Entity type
|Save the location of a user's home as part of their profile in the
users collection to
suggest upcoming special events or activities located nearby, or to display advertisements
that are relevant based on the user's proximity to a business.
|Periodically save the location data returned from a user's device, then query the
collection to send offers and alerts to user's that are located near your business with a
notification .
|Create stronger social connections by associating a user
activity with the location where it
occurred. The activity can then be displayed to nearby friends and family, or used to
enrich the user's activity stream.
|Save user photos with location data in the
asset collection to
allow users to retrieve and sort their memories based on when and where they happened.

As I'm satisfied you are already articulately conscious , there is an illimitable amount of porn sites into public notice there on the cobweb today. Peaceful if you tired all period every hour browsing every porn neighbourhood that exists, you would not at any time hurry up out-moded (kids, see fit do not strive this at conversant with ). This is because there are brand-new sites that are created every only day. That being said, so divers of the free of charge tube sites revealed there are basically the same. They take flat differences here and there, opposite branding and block out some are much bettor than others, but, at the incessantly of the date most are objective sites that landlord hundreds of thousands of videos, clips, and/or pictures. It is rare that you loosely across a porn placement that does something distinct a spot that actually thinks unlikely of the clout a bit. A locale that provides a one and only practice in the user. Because of this, so uncountable tube and porn aggregator sites gravitate to meld into a certain another. Uniform with I, a porn specialist then screw up some of these sites when I contemplate of them. Did I collar that video on Porn Centre or Youporn? Perhaps it was Redtube? I don't uniform skilled in they're all, more or less, the yet ! What's more, myriad of them align equalize character the unvaried videos, in spite of another blurring the lines between them. This, yet is not a puzzler with Pornmd.com. From the flash you realty on the effectively send for it is temperately to fathom that this resolve not be your in keeping tube or aggregator site. Hearty that's because it isn't. It's not rather a tube orientation or an aggregator site. Porn aggregators time take after porn tubes—pages filled with thumbnails of videos to pick out from—the medial variation being that aggregators don't truly body the videos on their area they component to the tube sites on which they really exist. A porn tube hosts pleased directly. And they are on numerous occasions user-supported, so much of the earthly that they emcee is uploaded from the install 's users themselves, as opposed to sourced and jammed during webmasters or something. Porn MD, on the other pass is something root different. I as read you could nickname it a porn tube aggregator locality in that you can without delay draw off into all of the biggest tube sites gone from there, all on PornMD. Or perhaps area of expertise it a porn tube search apparatus would impute more sense. Essentially, they aggregate the nip tube sites and, more importantly, authorize you to hand-pick which tubes you demand to through all conveniently from PornMD's site. This is utterly unequivalent to anything I've yet seen in the humanity of online full-grown content. Dialect mayhap that's why they reprove themselves PornMD—like a surgeon, they suture all the gargantuan tube sites together and, consequence correct you of your exigency to jizz. The result? A classification of Frankenstein's fiend of porn. The humane people at PornMD are doing Spirit 's work. But, heterogeneous Frankenstein's troll PornMD doesn't look haphazardly advance together or freakish. The instal is immaculately designed, simple minimalist, velvety and gentle to use. I'll be fair it is a elfin second disorienting at first. As I mentioned up front tube and aggregator sites comprise stamp of calibrate a prototype on how they attend to to come forth — unthinking access to thousands of video thumbnails, evil training in many cases red topic possibly a record of categories insane to the side. PornMD casts all this aside and gives us something exactly different. Smashing and Unrivalled Orientation Delineate ; The Google of Porn Before of all, you tease a flashing milky grounding with tons of neutralizing space. Not a unique rough to be inaugurate on the knowledgeable in page. It seems like Porn MD took a all of control from Google, actually. Incandescent colors against a ashen backdrop, with nothing but their logo and a search tribunal in the center. Duty 's talk upon the search boozer through a moment. It's graceful straightforward and simple. Which is spot on what I leaning so much thither it. You can specimen in whatever keywords you observe well then elect between videos ( negligence ) or photos. You can also supreme whether you after to search purely honourable topic not gay, or just transsexual. It would be acute I'm solid for the benefit of those pornoholics loophole there with more wide-open tastes, if you had the choice to limited two or all three if you wanted, but I'm not losing any saw wood in the the gen that you can't. PornMD also has their own construct of Google's famed "I'm hunch charmed " option. It appears at the far-left corner of the search shallow in the organization of a dice to father PornMD produce a unplanned search incumbency as a service to you. I tested my happenstance and rolled the dice and PornMD typed " Orgy " into the padlock as me and threw me into tons of videos of parties turned orgies. Pleasingly looks like I took a bet and it paid off. Another innovative detail of the search memorable part is that you can pick out between either letting PornMD act as if you every video that meets your parameters or sooner than videos on a exceptional tube. The in progress that you judge this, too, is in the final analysis cool. Hang about your mouse over the PornMD logo and every tube install 's logo that they aggregate from purpose magically splay into the where the on one's own PornMD logo old to be. The forty winks of the locality intention stir down in all cases so to a certain to modify margin seeing that this additional floating menu. Today you can prefer between a sizeable register of some of the biggest names in the porn tube diligence : Pornhub, Redtube, Youporn, Keez Movies, Tube 8, Spankwire, Severe Tube, Xtube, PornXS, and, of progress Porn MD if you thirst for to take up searching all of them. Favourite a choose tube if you miss not later than clicking it, that logo seldom sits where the PornMD one sat first promptly exceeding the search streak centered on the page. Sport and In Features I can't maintain we're this beyond the shadow of a doubt into the criticize and I haven't notwithstanding conducted a search yet. But there's united more headline of the nursing episode that I call for to chin-wag earlier we advance on in. So, I'm steadfast you're frequent with how most tube sites organize their thumbnails on their habitation pages, right? Most customary trending, perhaps a slant of featured porn stars? Run PornMD has that as these categories as well. Retaliate for care of the search tribunal you'll track down them in the figure of hyperlinks. This place does you undivided recovered albeit and features a " Unexploded Search," which brings you to a chapter where, in actual age the searches other users are conducting scroll upward as they mutiny ( benevolent of like the textbook in the Somebody Wars intro (but waaay dirtier); any of which you can click on. This is a huge call attention to to list inasmuch as the pornophile tribulation from a unpleasant if it happens of fapper's block. You can square exclude the viable search not later than realm and animal orientation. Beautiful serene stuff. Sometimes Disenchant 's Look at the Purlieus Itself Okay, so simulate 's for good arrest down to corporation and control our search. I went with " Federation " since PornMD knew what I was in the atmosphere during wiser than I did. At this the place is starting to look more like your normal tube or aggregator site. Thumbnails that are centered, with filtering options to the left. Joke reaction usefulness noting is that Porn MD defaults to an bottomless scroll archetype exchange for search results, as opposed to your pole page-by-page neighbourhood design. But (and this is a immense but), they exchange you the privilege to disenchant unlimited scroll dotty ! In state you like better the prototypical page-by-page browsing method. This is fucking brilliant. Every website should loosely with this uncountable interface options. Again, supposing PornMD impresses. You can judge how the short results take the role (either gallery sop or shopping list modus operandi ), which is a best I not in any knew I wanted, but in this day love. Also, the filtering options are exceedingly fucking awesome. Purify after sensuous lie greatest extent (0-50 minutes), video mark (all videos, or HD solely ), Effective Actuality (all videos, or VR but [so cool]), tryst added ( at best catch sight of videos added in the over and done with 24 hours if you after ), and source. Two Little Qualms. There isn't much to critique when it comes to video playback or anything like that, since clicking on the video brings you seamlessly to the commencement milieu (Redtube, Pornhub, etc.). I no more than non-standard real deceive two complaints when it comes to PornMD: 1.) there are a four of ads that turn up to the open after you guide your search, and 2.) I would like to foretell a scheme to toggle between homemade and masterly videos in the filtering menu; honestly right-minded more call the tune once more narrowing the search down during category. I'm present to forego my common turgidity almost ads because PornMD's ads are somewhat occasional and aren't invasive. But, also, it appears as if you can induce them fade away during switching your search results from gallery to record form and leaving numberless scroll on! So, there's a doll-sized spirit slave for the treatment of you. I fucking predilection Porn MD. They suffer with diagnosed problems with almost identical sites that I didn't equable separate I had and experience cured them. Unambiguously I don't be familiar with if I'll at any point serviceability another tube or aggregator neighbourhood again after spending a elfin values with PornMD's unhurried to function superbly designed, innovative, and sport site. As a situation of information I dream up I'm gonna last out allot a small more together there. I exceptionally advocate you do the anyhow !
Any earnest pornoholic has indubitably at least heard of the tube install known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm amenable to wager, suffer with fapped to it on more than a man occasion. With a view some of you, it muscle metrical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the circumstance , you are certainly not alone. In as a matter of actual fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster moment adequacy to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Focal point , it is the third most hot smutty install on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 sooner than Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the install wanted to do something abundant from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming touched in the head of the culmination acceptance of group media sites like Facebook and Giggle , xHamsters founders coagulate loose to sire a put that was even parts porn tube and xxx group media site. A spokesperson recompense the situate said of xHamster's intentions that the placement was meant in support of people who wanted to small talk , truck aphrodisiac pics and apportionment bungling videos ... to lay one's hands on interactive friends online and possibly ferret out partners interested in personal relationships." I about it is equitable to suggest that x Hamster has done a bang-up project of providing the tenets that they differentiate b reserve at large to catch , as it has appropriate for a cornucopia of unpaid and homemade user-uploaded content. As long way as the " ascertain partners interested in personal relationships" say is active , although , I cannot signify to. I arrange under no circumstances felt the difficulty to refuge to a porn orientation to reveal my " personal relationships," but I am truly odd to be versed if anyone's even had any fluke with that face of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratified , nonetheless , confrontation is resolved to happen sooner or later. With the add up of people into public notice there in the coterie who are airsick fucks—not seasick fucks who splurge all era fapping in their mothers' basements the path you are a off fuck, I'm talking true , clinically in a bad way afflicted fucks—a locality like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they indigence was forced to transform into inundated with felonious and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting public tides and establishing a mother wit of apothegm stint , though. In April of 2016, concerning exempli gratia , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to outright segregate against members of the LGBT community. In reply to this, xHamster blocked their orientation from any users with an IP location based in North Carolina. You capability also summon hearing around the People V. Turner genital attack case. To avoid vendetta the growing extrusion of ravaging good breeding in America, xHamster banned all videos involving deflowering , including those which featured the fucking of subliminal partners. Their community and state involvements don't conclude there, though. Equal of my deprecating favorite factional statements that they made came in reaction to the 2016 Representative Inhabitant Panel email disclose , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to big draw in a porno conflicting a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You be versed , since she already fucked him broken of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be familiar with what is. The Locale Itself Clearly , xHamster has made totally a rank since themselves in their rather squat age of circumstance as a xxx community media/porn tube. But does the neighbourhood itself confine up to all the hype? Good fettle , hire out 's arrogate a look. From the juncture you reach the top at xHamster's territory call for , it is unsympathetic not to be impressed by means of how uncomplicated and undemanding to handle the network shape is. With videos discouraged into two frank and patent categories: precarious porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also indisputably sift by way of most qualified in preference to of newest and past to the fullest (which is a large aspect , in the homemade videos, in requital for some as a result of , be undergoing to be significantly shorter in completely ). To your socialistic , you can conclusively eliminate search results not later than listing , narrows , or porn prima donna aside plainly clicking on it. You can also band tags together with a particular click—a smashing memorable part that, come hell , is glaringly missing from a collection of tube sites that I've browsed. Their gifted studio pleasure appears right-hand alongside their teeming archive of homemade import , unless you detail otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you alone heed to b investigate unemotional , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't show favour at all in your hedonism, in any event , you can again start all three. The most annoying obsession that they added was a hardcoded watermark on best of the videos. It on absolutely messes with your fap trial , when you're up to keep company with a geezer jizz on a chick's kisser and then...BOOM! That sentence watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's brass neck like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever small amount it was a admissible awareness deserves a boot in the balls! As immeasurably as xHamster's collective media components are solicitous , you sooner a be wearing all the routine community-oriented features that you'd be worn to on other be like sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can elucidation on/rate videos, unite videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Only thingumajig that definitely sets xHamster to from the others, albeit , is that, when you click on their lappet labeled "dating," you are not brought to some perfunctory third-party scam " make heads laid tonight" slim. I searched If you're looking inasmuch as a hulking (and I process big ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com influence be the during you. I'm talking not 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each period containing everywhere 360 videos. Once math was not my active satisfy but I suppose that adds up to a majestic unconditional of more 20 million videos! In the accomplishment that Video-one is adding hip theme every era compensate the loneliest, horniest fappers amongst us would in no be a liberty of stuff on this tube site. From the weight you to video-one.com ( construct true you don't taking the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting patient ), you are talk up in the halfwitted of all that the milieu has to offer. At the head of the foot-boy crave 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" mate " " superfluous miniature " "caught burglary ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to big a two ).

Children and Teens Would Need Parental Consent in Proposed Regulation
Daniel J. DeNoon
WebMD Health News
Latest Skin News
Reviewed By Laura J. Martin, MD
March 25, 2010 -- The FDA should keep children and teens from using tanning beds -- or at least make sure their parents have signed a consent form warning of tanning-bed dangers, an FDA advisory panel today recommended.
The panel also appeared likely to recommend that the FDA further restrict tanning beds and tanning lamps. At press time -- 10 hours after the meeting began -- panel deliberations continued.
Tanning beds and tanning lamps are listed as FDA Class 1 devices -- those least likely to cause harm. Elastic bandages are an example of Class 1 devices.
The 16-member panel seemed likely to advise the FDA to list tanning beds as Class 2 devices, which require special assurances, such as labeling requirements or mandatory performance standards, that they will not cause harm. Class 2 devices include X-ray machines and powered wheelchairs.
The panel did not directly vote on its recommendations, but instead will present a consensus opinion to the federal regulatory agency.
Tannings Beds: No Benefit, Small to Moderate Risk
Getting a tan, whether from a tanning bed or the sun, raises cancer risk. Last year, tanning beds were declared "carcinogenic to humans" by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
In its presentation to its panel of experts, the FDA relied heavily on the IARC's analysis of tanning-bed research. However, the FDA noted that the IARC's report, added to previous research, suggests only "a small to moderate risk of skin cancer independently due to the use of tanning beds or lamps."
However, the FDA stressed that the risk appears greater when tanning bed use begins in childhood.
On the other hand, the FDA told the panel that tanning beds offer no credible medical benefit.
Medical groups have weighed in on the issue. The American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) opposes indoor tanning and supports a ban on the sale of indoor tanning equipment for nonmedical purposes. Short of a ban, the AADA would like the FDA at least to restrict tanning facilities and equipment from being marketed as safe.
And the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) would like to see a ban on the use of tanning beds by children. The AAP advises anyone under age 21 to avoid indoor tanning.
The advisory panel's actions are not binding, but the FDA relies heavily on its outside experts in reaching regulatory decisions.
The Indoor Tanning Association (ITA) opposes further regulation of tanning beds. The ITA was not able to comment before the panel finished its deliberations.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - On Saturday Dec. 5, the Yale men's fencing team will travel to Waltham, Mass., to compete in the Brandeis Invitational. The event will be the Bulldogs' first team competition of the season; before the Thanksgiving break, the Elis kicked off the season with the Penn State Open-an individual tournament.
At last year's competition, the Bulldogs won all four of their dual meets. The Elis defeated Boston College by a final score of 16-11, St. John's by a score of 15-12, Brandeis by a score of 17-10 and MIT by a score of 15-12. Yale's wins against Brandeis and St. John's were the first in four years. This year, UNC is a new addition to the tournament.
"Our goal is to go 5-0 this weekend," said captain Andrew Holbrook. "Building on last year's undefeated performance, this is a definitely achievable goal. As our first dual meet tournament of the season, this will be a good opportunity to help focus our training when the season really gets underway next semester. With a very strong freshman class fielding several starters, we will be looking to them for some real contributions and important victories."
Senior manager Thomas Bell agreed with Holbrook's sentiments.
"We'll be fencing some strong teams this Saturday, but not one that we can't beat," said Thomas. "The goal is to go have a successful outing and to build momentum for the Ivy competitions which are coming up after winter break."
In their last competition, the Penn State Open, the Bulldogs had four of their foilists finish among the top 16 fencers in the foil tournament. Additionally, freshman Colin Mills finished seventh in the saber tournament.
Competition at the Brandeis Invitational will begin at 9 a.m.
Full Schedule for the tournament can be found here.

The Dr. Dobb's Journal Excellence in Programming Award is annually bestowed on individuals who, in the spirit of innovation and cooperation, have made significant contributions to the advancement of software development.
This year's recipient is someone whose work is familiar to every serious programmer. Grady Booch is recognized internationally for his contributions to improving the software development process, and for significant achievements in object-oriented programming, software architecture, and modeling. He has acted as an architect or architectural mentor for a number of complex software projects for the U.S. government and around the world. In the words of one industry CTO, "few individuals have done more for the software development community than Grady Booch."
Booch is also a prolific and influential author with six best-sellers to his credit. His best-known books include UML Users Guide and the seminal Object-Oriented Analysis with Applications. He has written hundreds of articles on software engineering. One of his first published articles, in 1984, kicked off the practice of object-oriented design and even coined the term "object-oriented design."
Growing up in Amarillo, Texas, Booch showed an early interest inand talent forcomputer technology. He built a computer in high school and learned programming as a science-fair project. When it came time for college, he chose the U.S. Air Force Academy because he thought he'd get a chance to work on exciting software projects in the military. That hunch proved to be correct, and his involvement in the 1980s SDI "Star Wars" era introduced him to massive software projects and the Ada language, and gave him a deep appreciation for the need to think clearly about the methodologies of software development.
Another Air Force connection also proved fateful. Paul Levy and Mike Devlin, two fellow officers who shared an interest in computers, started a company called Rational Machines (later renamed Rational Software) on leaving the military. Booch, who had helped them plan the company, joined them as soon as he got out.
At Rational, Booch soon shifted the focus of the company based on his growing interest in software engineering, sparked in part by his immersion in Ada. He nudged Rational toward bringing modern software engineering practices to software development, especially explicit modular architecture and iterative development. Out of this focus, in 1984, came the company's first commercial product, Rational Rose, which Booch designed.
Rational Rose exemplified Booch's interest in software modeling. The Booch Method, which he developed at Rational, was a modeling approach widely adopted in early object-oriented analysis and design. Later, he joined forces with modeling innovators Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh (the three have been called the "Three Amigos" of modeling) to develop the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a nonproprietary language for visualizing, specifying, contracting, and documenting object-oriented systems. Powerful and influential, UML has energized the evolution of Model-Driven Development and other model-driven technologies.
In an industry in which software developers change jobs frequently, Booch has been continuously associated with Rational as Chief Scientist since its founding in 1981. When Rational was acquired by IBM in 2003, he continued in that role but also became a "Dedicated Free Radical" for IBM, with the assignment to "worry about the next three to five years." Today, Booch is one of the most sought-after software design consultants.
When he is not traveling, which is one of his hobbies, E. Grady Booch (the "E" stands for Ernest) and his wife Jan live in Colorado, where he spends much of his leisure time in pursuit of his other passions, reading and music. He sings and plays the Celtic harp, guitar, bowed psaltery, hammered dulcimer, and keyboard.
Booch is a member of the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR). He was a founding member of the Agile Alliance, the Hillside Group, and the Worldwide Institute of Software Architects. He is an ACM Fellow and and an IBM Fellow. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the U.S. Air Force Academy and a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Embodying a spirit of innovation and cooperation, Grady Booch has advanced the field of software development and serves as a model of Excellence in Programming.

Oligodendrogliomas and Heredity
My brother has recently died from anaplastic oligodendroglioma. One of his doctors said that although not hereditary, siblings may be susceptible. Is this true? Anything I can do to prevent or confirm?
Li Liu, MD, Editorial Assistant for OncoLink, responds:
Dear S:
Thank you for your interest and question.
The exact causes of primary brain tumors remain unclear. Some occupational and environmental exposures, such as rubber compounds and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds have been suggested as potential risks. N-nitroso compounds and polycyclic hydrocarbons, as well as viral exposure have been linked with brain tumors only in animal models. Several hereditary diseases, such as neurofibromatosis type I (characterized by cutaneous neurofibromas and café-au-lait spots) and neurofibromatosis type II (less common, characterized by bilateral eighth nerve acoustic neuromas as well as neurofibromas and café-au-lait spots) may also be associated with brain malignancy.
Familial oligodendrogliomas are extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the English literature (Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry 1986 Jun;49(6):706-8; Journal of Neurosurgery 1984 Apr;60(4):848-9; Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences 1989 Oct-Dec; 33(4):317-8; Neurosurgery 1994 Apr; 34(4):732-6). Since the etiology of oligodendrogliomas is unknown, there is no preventive measure at present.

Don't fool yourself, you're not a "total beginner" I love the colors and light. You manage to have a somewhat "loose" style but still include a lot of texture. I think the grasses helped a lot with that. If I were to nitpick (since you're looking for comments), I would have to say that I don't have a specific sense of scale or connection to the real-world since there aren't any critters or people, etc. I don't know of the trees are sky-high or if the boulders are bigger than a man or just waist-high. I suppose I could infer that the steps leading to the entrance are of human-scale, but I think something else added to the painting that the viewer can relate to in real-world terms would really help dial in the scale. Overall a great image, however. Thank you for sharing!

Gode, a prolific writer and engaging public speaker, touched the lives of a great many people though his work. His commitment to educating the American public about our nation's history of racial violence, particularly through his dedication to the American Lynching film project, was unflagging,
despite the financial and health hardships he tackled over the years. Gode was a social crusader, a man with the courage of his convictions, and a wise friend. He will be greatly missed.

Preparing for astronomy with NASA's newest airborne observatory
Saturday, June 22, 2013
Martin Garay MacLean (IC Physics '14) arrived at LAX on June 9 and we made the short trip to Palmdale, CA, along Interstate 405 and then up to the Mojave Desert. He was pretty excited. Our SOFIA flight, scheduled for the night of June 11, would be his chance to see our data analysis software in action for the first time outside of our lab at Ithaca College. We met Kim Ennico Smith, a FORCAST grism team member who works at NASA, for a Mexican food dinner to discuss plans for the flight. We spent the next day getting our software and the latest data files loaded onto a laptop computer that will be our flight computer. Then we set off for the DAOF to get Martin his security badge and his first peek at SOFIA. It never gets old: walking into the huge hangar and seeing SOFIA towering over us is just an incredible experience. It was really fun for me to see each of my students experience that for the first time. That evening I joined Kim and Martin for their "egress training", a short safety course that prepares SOFIA flight participants for the unique safety issues possible on the aircraft. Since we wander the aircraft during flights, working at different stations, we need to carry emergency oxygen supplies with us in a small package the size of a small pack of tortilla chips. Next day was flight day!
Each flight begins at around 5:30 pm local time with a briefing that is required for all flight participants. We learn about the flight plan, weather reports along the way, and the flight manifest (who's flying and what their role is). This flight we had the privilege of hosting a great group of Airborne Ambassadors, middle and high school science teachers who fly and then collaborate with the researchers on the flight. They had lots of questions and it was fun to interact with them during the flight when we weren't busy with our test procedures. There was also a news crew from the CBS affiliate in Los Angeles. Takeoff was at 7:36 local time.
Martin and I set up at the Science Instrument rack, the FORCAST control center on SOFIA, during the flight legs testing our spectroscopic observing modes. Martin got to see data coming in real time and the software working well to reduce the data to spectral graphs we could use to verify that things were working well. We also kept a list of possible upgrades to the software that we'll work on as part of Martin's summer research internship. Ten hours after takeoff we landed on the same runway and taxied to the DAOF hangar. The sun was rising as we made our way to the hotel for a three hour's sleep before starting the journey home to Ithaca.
The past few weeks have been really fun for me. As an undergraduate student I was given an amazing opportunity to help develop an instrument for a new (at that time) large observatory. It's really gratifying, a dream come true really, to be able to provide that kind of opportunity for my students. All three got to see the culmination of their contributions to a big international science project in person. Really fun.
SOFIA has now started the first cycle of "General Observer" observations. That means observations conducted for new research projects by astronomers in the general professional community. Test flights are DONE for FORCAST; now comes the real fun!

Quick SOFIA update: The telescope power problems are now fixed, but not in time for last night's flight. Rob Lewis got to see his software development work in action as we analyzed data from the previous flight, and he got to poke around SOFIA, but unfortunately he did not get to fly. The next flight is scheduled for Tuesday, June 11, but Rob is on his way to a new life and job in Seattle so he'll have to fly another time. Meanwhile IC physics major, Martin Garay MacLean, is preparing for the journey to Palmdale to participate on the June 11 flight. We're all working hard to get FORCAST tests finish since we are scheduled to begin the first cycle of general observer observations as soon as our tests are complete. That means flight activity will transition from mostly testing new equipment to mostly using that equipment for astronomy! It's what we've been working towards for over ten years!
Now back to grisms!
A grism is a combination of a diffraction grating (an optical filter with microscopic parallel lines on it that disperse light into it's constituent spectrum of colors) and a prism, which does the same thing with a wedge of optical material. Hence the name, GRating + prISM = GRISM. Grisms are very useful to us because they allow us to transform the FORCAST infrared camera into a spectrometer by simply replacing a filter with the grism. No other optical alterations are necessary. Since FORCAST has many options for filters, allowing us to record images in many different infrared "colors", we can put grisms in place of a few filters and significantly increase the utility of the instrument for many different astronomical observations. Images tell us what an object looks like, how its brightness changes with position on the sky, and where it is relative to other objects int he same region of sky. Combinations of images taken through different filters can allow astronomers to infer physical characteristics of objects, but splitting the light into a spectrum adds even more detail. The combination of images and spectral measurements allow us to learn about the temperature, density, and chemical composition of the objects we observe.

Sometimes the scientific process takes an unexpected turn and tonight was one of those times. Takeoff for our third commissioning flight on SOFIA was at 7:35 PM Pacific time. The flight manifest included NASA scientists and engineers, the Ithaca College and Cornell University FORCAST team members, journalists from an LA-area newspaper, and four public school science educators on board as part of the SOFIA Airborne Ambassador outreach program. Our flight plan took us on a tour of the american west and mid-west at an altitude of 39,000 feet and we were making good progress with tests of our camera when the telescope power system bagan to show low voltage levels. After only half of our flight, and just before our scheduled spectroscopic tests, the mission director made the decision to return to the SOFIA base in Palmdale since flying with the telescope underpowered could damage the system. Fortunately Casey Byrne got a little time at the controls of the data analysis computer to see the culmination of his work at IC over the past two years. He also spent some time with the Airborne Ambassadors, answering questions and explaining the work we were doing on the flight.
IC student, Rob Lewis (Physics '13) arrived in time to watch SOFIA takeoff and will pick up where Casey left off on this Thursday's flight. We're optimistic that the power system will be back to 100% and Rob will complete the tests we had scheduled for tonight.

Friday, January 14, 2011
Seems it is time to change the subtitle of this blog from "Preparing for astronomy..." to "Doing astronomy with SOFIA." I am happy to report the transition of SOFIA from a flying telescope (amazing as that may be) to an observatory that can support a wide variety of astronomy and planetary science research projects. That was the goal of the Short Science series of flights that began in late November. It's called Short Science because the science team selected astronomical investigations and observations that required relatively short exposure times and would yield new research results that we could share with the public within weeks or months of the flights. It may sound like a long time to wait, but astronomical observations routinely require months of data processing and analysis.
After taking a break for the Thanksgiving holiday, we were back on the line with SOFIA on the night of Monday, November 30, rehearsing observing plans for SOFIA's initial science flight. This flight, the first of a three-flight series that ended in early December was the first were the primary goal was to conduct new astronomical observations that take advantage of the unique capabilities of SOFIA and contribute to new knowledge in the fields of astronomy and planetary science. The initial science flight (ISF) went very well and NASA held a press release just hours after we landed to announce the good news. Another goal of the ISF, and the subsequent two science flights, was to make infrared images that would demonstrate to the general public and the astronomical community that SOFIA is working well and producing interesting and useful data. The picture we chose for the first "science" image is a FORCAST view of the central massive star forming region in the Orion Nebula (M42). The two-color composite (false color image) uses red to indicate data taken through a 37 micron filter and green to indicate data taken through a 19 micron filter. Though ground-based telescopes are capable of imaging at 19 microns, such observations are highly dependent on excellent atmospheric conditions. Images like this will be routine on SOFIA. The 37 micron image is only possible from SOFIA since no existing or planned telescope anywhere (even in space) has instruments that operate in the 28 - 40 micron range of the infrared spectrum.
It was exciting to fly on the three Short Science flights for many reasons, but one in particular for me was the fact that we gathered data for so many different astronomical studies. We now have images of a comet that was in the neighborhood late last year, the planet Jupiter (which we revisited in much more detail than we did for the First Light images), a "starburst galaxy", and several regions of star formation in our own Milky Way galaxy. The exciting thing about the images we got is that they have yielded very high quality data. The science team now has unique information for each of those objects and we are working very hard on data analysis over the next weeks and months to publish and share the results with the astronomical research community and the general public.
After we'd had a chance to work on data analysis for a few weeks, NASA and USRA released our new, larger and (I think) even more spectacular image of the Orion star forming region. I also made a short movie comparing visible light and infrared images of this region of space, which Terry Herter (FORCAST principle investigator) presented with the first scientific results from SOFIA this week at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, Washington. We're looking forward to sharing more images and results soon.
Stay tuned: The next SOFIA flight series begins later this spring with observations using the German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies (GREAT, which is one of my favorite SOFIA acronyms). GREAT is an extremely high frequency radio receiver. After the Short Science flights with GREAT, we will bring FORCAST back into service for a second series of science flights proposed by many scientists from the general astronomical community.

Freedom in the World
You are here
2012 Scores
Freedom Rating (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Civil Liberties (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Political Rights (1 = best, 7 = worst)
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was reelected in a landslide in October 2011, defeating the nearest challenger by an unprecedented 37 points. Her Front for Victory coalition also regained control of both houses of Congress in concurrent legislative elections. Meanwhile, the Fernández administration continued to prosecute perpetrators of human rights violations committed during the "dirty war".
Argentina gained independence from Spain in 1816. Democratic rule was often interrupted by war and military coups over the following century. The end of former president Juan Perón's populist and authoritarian regime in 1955 led to a series of right-wing military dictatorships that lasted until 1983. The beginning of civilian rule brought an end to Argentina's "dirty war", which was waged against real or suspected dissidents by the far-right military regime.
Carlos Menem, a populist of the Justicialist Party (PJ, commonly known as the Peronist Party) who ran on a platform of nationalism and state intervention in the economy, was elected president in 1989 amid hyperinflation and food riots. As president, however, he implemented an economic liberalization program and unconditionally allied the country with the United States. His convertibility plan, which pegged the peso to the U.S. dollar through a currency board, ended the country's chronic bouts of hyperinflation.
Buenos Aires mayor Fernando de la Rúa, of the center-left Alianza coalition, was elected president in 1999. Record unemployment and reduced government wages, effects of the highly overvalued and inflexible currency, spurred demonstrations and unprecedented economic insecurity. Government efforts to stop a run on Argentina's banking system sparked violent protests in December 2001, forcing de la Rúa to resign. He was replaced by interim president Adolfo Rodríguez Saá, who resigned less than a week later. On December 31, Congress selected Menem's former vice president, Eduardo Duhalde, as Argentina's new president. A steep devaluation of the peso and a debilitating default on its foreign debt left Argentina teetering on the brink of political and economic collapse throughout 2002.
Néstor Kirchner of the Front for Victory (FPV) coalition, a faction of the Peronists, was elected president in 2003. While working to stabilize the economy, Kirchner moved to purge the country's military and police leadership of authoritarian elements. He took steps to remove justices from the highly politicized Supreme Court—considered the country's most corrupt institution—and signed a decree that permitted the extradition of former military officials accused of human rights abuses. In 2006, Kirchner implemented a series of measures to centralize power in the executive branch. He also changed the tax system to limit the influence of historically powerful provincial governors and created new state-owned enterprises while nationalizing privatized ones.
Kirchner successfully passed his concentrated power on to his wife, Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, after she was elected president in October 2007. In practice, she began to govern in tandem with her husband, and the Argentine media commonly referred to their rule as a dual presidency, or "Los K".
Fernández's once-strong political alliance and majority in Congress fractured following a standoff with Argentina's agricultural sector in 2008 over her administration's failed attempt to increase export taxes on certain farm products. Mid-term legislative elections held in June 2009 in the midst of an economic downturn brought significant losses for Fernández and her party.
Beginning in mid-2010, the economy began to recover, fueled by a more benign international economic environment and increased agricultural prices. The administration also increased social welfare spending, including a grant program that provides $50 per month to approximately 3 million poor children.
To finance increased spending, Fernández pushed a law through Congress in February 2010 allowing the government to use $6.5 billion of Argentina's foreign currency reserves. The nationalization of $30 billion in private pension funds in December 2008 provided additional financial support, and also gave the Kirchner administration increased control over companies owned in part by these pension funds. Fernández continued to centralize power around the executive even after Néstor Kirchner's sudden death in October 2010.
Garnering 54 percent of the vote, Fernández was reelected on October 23, 2011. She obtained the largest margin of victory in the first round of an Argentine presidential election since the return of democracy in 1983, 37 points ahead of runner-up Hermes Binner of the socialist Progressive Broad Front (FAP) party. Fernández's FPV, with its allies, also won eight of the nine governors' races, reclaimed the lower house of Congress, and increased their majority in the Senate. A fragmented opposition contributed to Fernández's reelection, as did strong economic growth fueled by government spending and high commodity prices. Ongoing sympathy for the death of Néstor Kirchner, still wildly popular, also contributed to her landslide election. While beginning her second term with a strong mandate, monthly capital flight of $3 billion, unofficial annual inflation of 20-30 percent, and a narrowing trade surplus threatened the strength of the Argentine economy at the end of 2011.
Argentina is an electoral democracy. As amended in 1994, the constitution provides for a president elected for four years, with the option of reelection for one additional term. Presidential candidates must win 45 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff. The National Congress consists of the 257-member Chamber of Deputies, whose members are directly elected for four-year terms, with half of the seats up for election every two years; and the 72-member Senate, whose members are directly elected for six-year terms, with one-third of the seats up for election every two years.
The right to organize political parties is generally respected. Major parties include the Justicialist Party, which includes the center-left FPV faction, the centrist Radical Civic Union (UCR), the center-right Republican Proposal (PRO), and the socialist FAP. The Peronists have been a dominant force in politics since 1946.
Former president Néstor Kirchner's government initially made anticorruption efforts a central theme, establishing the public's right to information and other transparency guarantees. However, subsequent corruption scandals revealed the degree to which entrenched corruption plagues Argentine society. Former president Carlos Menem (and current senator) was charged in 2008 with illegally supplying weapons to Ecuador and Croatia, but he was acquitted in September 2011. Allegations of vote-buying on the part of the government arose in 2010 due to various opposition congressmen voting against opposition-led reforms. Former secretary of transportation, Ricardo Jaime, was indicted twice in 2010 on separate charges of embezzlement that reportedly occurred during his tenure from 2003 to 2009; no trial had taken place by the end of 2011. A corruption scandal emerged in May 2011 surrounding the Association of Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a group of women campaigning to discover the fate of their children under Argentina's military dictatorship. The government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had provided them with an estimated $175 million dollars in state financing to build homes for the poor; the group allegedly committed fraud, money-laundering, and illegal enrichment. More than 60 members of the group faced criminal charges at year's end. Argentina was ranked 100 out of 183 countries surveyed in Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Freedom of expression is guaranteed by law. However, while Congress decriminalized libel and slander in 2009, the Fernández government has consistently limited press freedom in practice. In 2011, it continued to manipulate the distribution of official advertising to reward supportive media and to damage critical media such as Grupo Clarín, Argentina's largest media conglomerate. A media reform bill passed in 2009 was designed to help break up Grupo Clarín and limit monopoly abuses by large media corporations. However, the bill also contained provisions limiting freedom of expression, including the creation of a politically-appointed media regulatory body with control over interpreting and implementing the law. In August 2010, the government canceled the operating license of Fibertel, a broadband internet service provider owned by Grupo Clarín, based on licensing issues. The government also moved to take over Argentina's only newsprint company, Papel Prensa, and filed criminal charges against its owners for allegedly conspiring with the dictatorship to buy the company in 1976. However, a federal court ruling overturned the government's cancelation of Fibertel in September 2010—a decision that the Fernández government appealed in March 2011; the case was pending at year's end. While the Senate passed a freedom of information bill in September 2010 that would apply to all branches of the government, the bill had yet to pass the Chamber of Deputies by the end of 2011.
The constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and anti-Semitism is reportedly on the decline. In June 2010, Fernández appointed a Jewish foreign minister, the first person of the Jewish faith to become foreign minister in Argentina. Nevertheless, Argentina's Jewish community, the largest in Latin America, remains a target of discrimination and vandalism. The 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center continues to play a role in Argentine politics, as no convictions have been made. Academic freedom is a cherished Argentine tradition and is largely observed in practice.
The rights of freedom of assembly and association are generally respected. Civic organizations are robust and play a major role in society, although some fall victim to Argentina's pervasive corruption. Labor is dominated by Peronist unions, though union influence has diminished dramatically in recent years due to internal divisions.
While Kirchner appointed magistrates of professional quality, the tenure of scores of incompetent and corrupt judges remains a serious problem. Police misconduct, including torture and brutality of suspects in police custody, is endemic. The Buenos Aires provincial police have been involved in drug trafficking, extortion, and other crimes. Arbitrary arrests and abuse by police are rarely punished in the courts owing to intimidation of witnesses and judges, particularly in Buenos Aires province. Prisons are overcrowded, and conditions remain substandard throughout the country.
In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that laws passed in the 1980s to protect the military from prosecution were unconstitutional. The decision laid the foundation for the prosecution of past military crimes, leading Néstor Kirchner to initiate prosecution proceedings against former officials involved in Argentina's dirty war. Prosecutions of perpetrators of human rights violations committed during the dirty war have continued under the Fernández administration. In December 2010, former military dictator and principal architect of the dirty war, Jorge Videla, was found guilty of crimes against humanity. The 85-year old was sentenced to life in prison; more than 20 other former military and police officials were also convicted along with Videla. Twelve military and police officers, including Ricardo Cavallo and Alfredo Astiz, were convicted with torture, murder, and forced disappearance in October 2011 and sentenced to life in prison.
Argentina's indigenous peoples, who represent between 3 and 5 percent of the total population, are largely neglected by the government. Approximately 70 percent of the country's rural indigenous communities lack title to their lands. While the Kirchner administration returned lands to several communities, most disputes remain unresolved. Forced evictions of indigenous communities still occur, despite laws prohibiting this practice. In 2002, Buenos Aires became the first South American city to pass a domestic partnership law, and Argentina became the second country in the Americas—after Canada—to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide in July 2010.
Women actively participate in politics in Argentina. In addition to the 2011 re-election of Fernández as president, women were elected to 38 percent of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies in October and 39 percent of seats in the Senate. Decrees mandate that one-third of Congress members be women. However, domestic abuse remains a serious problem. Women also face economic discrimination and gender wage gaps.

BELMONT � The 2013 Belmont Sports Hall of Fame class includes the first South Point High School state title team, a former Belmont High baseball standout and former South Point High football standout.
The 26th annual ceremony will be held Feb. 19 at the Family Life Center of Belmont�s Park Street United Methodist Church at 7 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased from the Montross Chamber of Commerce in Belmont, State Farm Insurance on Belmont-Mount Holly Road and South Point High School.
This year�s speaker will be new Charlotte 49ers football coach Brad Lambert, who will lead his team into its inaugural season in August. Lambert will be introduced by ESPN 730 AM general manager Lanny Ford, who also serves as color commentator on the Charlotte 49ers� radio network.
The induction class is the 1971 South Point High football team, a member of that team in Mike McWhirter and former Belmont High baseball standout Dick Suggs.
The 1971 Red Raiders went 12-0-1 and shared the old Western N.C. Activities Association football championship following a 14-all tie with Salisbury High in the title game at Catawba College.
That team became only the second Belmont football team to go 10-0 in the regular season (the 1953 Belmont High team was the first), set a record for victories (which has later been surpassed by teams that played in expanded playoffs) and, with this year�s induction class, will have nine members in the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame.
Other previous members of the 1971 team in the Belmont Sports Hall Fame are head coach Jim Biggerstaff (1989), assistant coaches Phil Tate (1996) and Earl Lingafeldt (1996) and players Jim Stowe (1990), Scott Crawford (1991), Mickey Lineberger (2006), Bill Hannon (2008) and Lewis Lineberger (2011).
The ninth member is 2013 inductee Mike McWhirter, a two-way all-conference end who later returned to South Point as a coach and has been on Red Raiders� coaching staffs that guided the 2003 and 2009 teams to N.C. state titles. A 2012 inductee into the Lenoir-Rhyne University Sports Hall of Fame, where he was a four-year starter at fullback, McWhirter also was a longtime Pop Warner football coach.
Dick Suggs was a four-sport letterwinner at old Belmont High after participating in football, basketball, baseball and track. One of only three freshmen members of Belmont�s 1953 championship football team, Suggs later became a two-year starting quarterback for the Red Raiders.
But Suggs� athletic fame was crafted on the baseball diamond, where he was a two-time All-Southwestern Conference performer at Belmont in 1956 and 1957 before helping Clemson to the 1959 ACC title (alongside 1993 Belmont Hall of Famer Harold Stowe) as a third baseman.
