Ramya Kumar on Misoprostol and Abortion Politics in Sri Lanka
Ramya Kumar (Dalla Lana School of Public Health) has posted Misoprostol and the Politics of Abortion in Sri Lanka on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Misoprostol, a WHO essential medicine indicated for labour induction, management of miscarriage and post-partum hemorrhage, as well as for induced abortion and treatment of post-abortion complications, came up for registration in Sri Lanka in December 2010. The decision on registration was postponed, indefinitely. This has wide-ranging implications, as misoprostol is widely available and used, including by health professionals in Sri Lanka, without guidance or training in its use. This paper attempts to situate the failure to register misoprostol within the broader context of unsafe abortion, drawing on data from interviews with physicians and health policymakers in Sri Lanka. It demonstrates how personal opposition to abortion infiltrates policy decisions and prevents the issue of unsafe abortion being resolved. Any move to reform abortion law and policy in Sri Lanka will require a concerted effort, spearheaded by civil society. Women and communities affected by the consequences of unsafe abortion need to be involved in these efforts. Regardless of the law, women will access abortion services if they need them, and providers will provide them. Decriminalizing abortion and registering abortion medications will make provision of abortion services safer, less expensive and more equitable.

Challenge to Texas Abortion Restrictions Garners National Media Attention
The challenge to portions of Texas's hydra-like abortion law, brought by a coalition of national reproductive rights organizations, is getting lots of media attention:
The New York Times: Rights Groups and Clinics Sue Texas Over Provisions in Its New Abortion Law, by Erik Eckholm
The Washington Post: Texas abortion providers sue over new limits, by Juliet Eilperin
NPR - The Two-Way blog: Women's Health Groups Sue Texas Over Its New Abortion Law, by Bill Chappell
Reuters: Planned Parenthood sues Texas over abortion restrictions
MSNBC: Planned Parenthood takes Texas abortion laws to court, by Irin Carmon
Texas isn't the only state to have passed these kinds of restrictions recently, and indeed courts have already blocked similar restrictions elsewhere. Admitting privileges requirements have been enjoined in Mississippi, Alabama, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Laws requiring adherence to the outdated FDA protocol for medication abortions were enjoined in North Dakota and Oklahoma (in a case the Supreme Court may review this term), although a federal appeals court upheld Ohio's similar law in 2012.
Texas's law is unique, however, in combining so many different restrictions in one measure (North Dakota went on a similar rampage this year but passed its restrictions in piecemeal fashion). Additionally, state senator Wendy Davis's famous filibuster of the omnibus bill helped to focus the nation's attention on Texas. Finally, the bill would have a Texas-sized impact if allowed to take effect: as many as one-third of the state's clinics could be forced to close, leaving large areas of the state without a provider.

Coalition of National Groups Challenges Portions of Texas Omnibus Abortion Law
Texas Observer: National Coalition Files Legal Challenge to Texas Anti-Abortion Law, by Carolyn Jones:
Today in federal court, a coalition of reproductive rights organizations filed a legal challenge to two provisions of House Bill 2, the controversial anti-abortion bill passed by the Texas Legislature this summer.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Planned Parenthood affiliates in Texas, the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Texas, Whole Woman's Health and the Center for Reproductive Rights announced the long-anticipated challenge this morning. . . .
. . .[T]he Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, where today's lawsuit could go, is notoriously conservative. Caitlin Borgmann, law professor at CUNY School of Law, who is not involved with today's filing, said: "The climate is bad for abortion challenges in the Fifth Circuit." In January 2012, for example, Fifth Circuit Judge Edith Jones upheld a mandatory ultrasound law that had been overturned by a lower court. . . .

Promise of Post-Fertilization Contraceptive Methods Is Limited By Politics
LiveScience: Politics Is Main Hurdle to 'After Sex' Birth Control, Experts Say, by Bahar Gholipour:
Political opposition is the main hurdle to developing birth control methods that could be more suitable than current options for many women , health experts said today (Sept. 23) in an editorial. The authors called on researchers to embrace and study birth control methods that act after sex, and can be taken only occasionally.
Current contraception methods are designed to work primarily by keeping sperm and eggs apart, but it is also possible to prevent pregnancy after an egg is fertilized. . . .

Caroline Corbin on Whether For-Profit Corporations Have a Right to Religious Liberty
Caroline Mala Corbin (University Miami School of Law) has posted Corporate Religious Liberty on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Do for-profit corporations have a right to religious liberty? This question is front and center in dozens of cases challenging the Obama administration's "contraception mandate." Whether for-profit corporations are entitled to religious exemptions is a question of first impression, and one the Supreme Court is likely to answer in the next few years. Most scholars writing on this issue argue, "yes," they do have the right to religious liberty, especially after the Supreme Court recognized that for-profit corporations have the right to free speech in Citizens United.
This essay argues "no," for-profit corporations do not and should not have religious liberty rights. As a matter of current law, neither the Free Exercise Clause nor the Religious Freedom Restoration Act recognizes the religious rights of for-profit corporations. Citizens United changes nothing in religious liberty jurisprudence, as its protection for corporate speech is based on the rights of audiences and not the rights of corporate speakers.
As a normative matter, for-profit corporations should not have free exercise rights. There is no principled basis for extending a purely personal right to profit-making corporations, and for-profit corporations cannot be equated to churches or other voluntary religious associations. Finally, granting religious exemptions to corporations risks trampling on the religious liberty of individual employees.

A Defense of Sex-Selective Abortions
The Guardian (op-ed): Why women have a right to sex-selective abortion, by Sarah Ditum:
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter why any woman wants to end her pregnancy. If it's to select for sex, that's her choice
When you talk about being pro-choice, sex selective abortion is often slung at you as the triumphant gotcha. "You love women so much you want them to be in charge of what grows inside their bodies, but what about the women who are aborted, have a go at answering that? ZING!"
The answer is actually remarkably simple, and it's this: it doesn't matter whether what's growing inside you is liable to end up as a man or a woman. What matters is whether the person it's growing inside – the person who is going to have to deliver the resulting baby, at not inconsiderable personal peril – actually wants to be pregnant and give birth to this child. . . .

A Day After Denouncing Church's Obsession Over Abortion, Pope Delivers Anti-Abortion Message
CBS News: Pope Francis denounces abortion after decrying church's focus on rules:
Pope Francis offered an olive branch of sorts to the doctrine-minded, conservative wing of the Catholic Church on Friday as he denounced abortions as a symptom of today's "throw-away culture" and encouraged Catholic doctors to refuse to perform them.
Francis issued a strong anti-abortion message and cited Vatican teaching on the need to defend the unborn during an audience with Catholic gynecologists. . . .

Pope Francis Criticizes Catholic Church for Being "Obsessed" with Abortion and Contraception
The New York Times: Pope, Criticizing Narrow Focus, Calls for Church as 'Home for All', by Laurie Goodstein:
Six months into his papacy, Pope Francis sent shock waves through the Roman Catholic church on Thursday with the publication of his remarks that the church had grown "obsessed" with abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and that he had chosen not to talk about those issues despite recriminations from critics.
His surprising comments came in a lengthy interview in which he criticized the church for putting dogma before love, and for prioritizing moral doctrines over serving the poor and marginalized. . . .

Will Saletan on "Fetal Pain" Abortion Bans, and a Response
Slate: Fetal Fact Check, by William Saletan:
The doctors cited by pro-lifers say their fetal pain research doesn't support abortion bans
In much of this country, over the last three years, pro-lifers have banned abortions 20 weeks after fertilization. They've justified these bans by asserting—contrary to the most authoritativestudies—that fetuses at this stage of development can feel pain. Their assertions, in turn, are based on research by several doctors. But the doctors don't buy the pro-lifers' conclusions. They say their research doesn't support the bans. . . .
Here's what William Saletan gets right in this column: The science supporting claims that human fetuses can perceive pain at 20 weeks after fertilization is weak. Here's where he goes on irrelevant tangents:
(1) Dr. Kanwaljeet J. S. Anand, apparently the only known researcher who believes fetuses can feel pain at this stage, also believes "that 'fetal pain does not have much relevance for abortion, since most abortions are performed before the fetus is capable of experiencing pain.'" Who cares? If fetal pain marks the (moral) point at which abortion should be banned, why does it matter how few abortions are implicated? Any abortion after that stage, proponents would argue, is immoral and should be banned.
(2) Dr. Anand believes that his research does not support post-20-week abortion bans. (Anand says that pain could be averted through anesthesia or causing a quick fetal demise before beginning the abortion procedure.) Again, so what? This point seems to misapprehend how anti-choice activists are using Anand's research. They claim that the ability to perceive pain marks a moral threshold of human development sufficiently significant that abortion should not be permitted after this point. That might be an important moral claim meriting a response (if not necessarily agreement), if the science backed up their assertions. But while Anand believes fetuses can perceive pain at 20 weeks post-fertilization, he is contradicted by numerous other experts who conclude otherwise. The best evidence suggests that a human fetus's ability to perceive pain does not occur before fetal viability, after which states can already ban abortions under Roe v. Wade.
(3) There is a "gap" between the claim that fetuses feel pain and the claim that abortions should be banned, since pain could be addressed in ways other than banning abortion. While this is absolutely true, it fails to take the anti-choice argument seriously. As explained above, anti-choice activists obviously do not believe that abortion is morally acceptable so long as fetuses don't feel pain. They are asserting that fetal pain is a critical marker of human development: once a fetus can feel pain, it has reached the stage where it is morally unacceptable to kill it. Saletan describes the "gap" between (doubtful) assertions of fetal pain and banning abortion as a "sleight of hand." But he overlooks the real deception. Anti-choice activists will not be content with banning abortions at 20 weeks. For these activists, pain perception is not in fact the definitive moral milestone that they claim it is. Their ultimate goal is to ban all abortions from the moment of fertilization, when the pre-embryo can scarcely be seen with the naked eye. The question of fetal pain is thus totally irrelevant to their moral claims. They are simply trying to get the public to move one smallish step with them toward their ultimate goal, without reminding the public of what that goal really is.

Washington Post Editorial on Richmond GOP Campaign to Shut Down Abortion Clinics
The Washington Post - editorial: Virginia's next governor will determine whether most abortion clinics close:
VIRGINIA ATTORNEY General Ken Cuccinelli II (R) was instrumental in ensuring that new regulations will result in the closure of many of the state's abortion clinics. Two of the busiest, in Northern Virginia and Norfolk, already have closed. If Mr. Cuccinelli is elected governor in November, most of the remaining 18 clinics are likely to shut their doors within months.
That would make access to abortion, as well as to family planning advice, difficult for thousands of Virginia women, particularly in rural areas; in some cases, it would become practically impossible. It would also represent a capstone in the Republican campaign in Richmond to limit abortion, despite Supreme Court rulings protecting it. . . .

Federal Appeals Court Rules Against Manufacturing Company in Challenge to Contraception Mandate
Here is another decision in a developing circuit split, with the Third Circuit (now joined by the Sixth) ruling against secular employers challenging the mandate, and the Tenth Circuit ruling in favor of secular employer Hobby Lobby.
ACLU press release: Sixth Circuit Orders Company to Comply With Rule Requiring Contraception Coverage:
Rules that a Manufacturing Company Cannot Impose Beliefs on Workers by Denying Basic Healthcare
CINCINNATI, Ohio – The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that a corporation that provides manufacturing services for automotive and medical industries must provide its 661 U.S. employees with insurance coverage for contraception in compliance with federal law. The court heard the company's challenge during arguments in June. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, as well as several other cases that were argued last spring, supporting the Obama administration's rule requiring contraceptive coverage in employee health insurance benefits. In all cases, for-profit companies are claiming a religious objection to the rule and seeking a special exemption. "Religious liberty is a fundamental right, and everyone should be free to practice their beliefs as they see fit," said Brigitte Amiri, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. "However, companies cannot break the law by withholding coverage for health services just because they have a religious objection. Nearly every woman uses contraception at some point in her life. This law ensures that employers do not discriminate against their workers by making it difficult for them to obtain the care they need." This case is one of more than 50 across the country currently pending that address the rule mandating contraception coverage. Today's decision is the third issued by a circuit court in one of these cases. The 3rd Circuit previously held that a Pennsylvania cabinetmaking company was unlikely to succeed in its challenge to the rule, and the 10th Circuit held the opposite in a challenge from an Oklahoma-based craft supply chain.

The Hill: Appeals court rules in favor of ObamaCare birth control mandate, by Elise Viebeck:
A U.S. appeals court ruled Tuesday that a for-profit manufacturing corporation must cover birth control in its employee health plan despite the religious beliefs of the company's owners.
The decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals represents a victory for the Obama administration in a series of ongoing fights over the contraception policy, which critics see as a violation of religious freedom. . . .

The Dubious Scientific Claims Behind "Fetal Pain" Abortion Bans
The New York Times: Complex Science at Issue in Politics of Fetal Pain, by Pam Belluck:
It is a new frontier of the anti-abortion movement: laws banning abortion at 20 weeks after conception, contending that fetuses can feel pain then.
Since 2010, a dozen states have enacted them, most recently Texas.Nationally, a bill passed the Republican-dominated House of Representatives in June.
The science of fetal pain is highly complex. Most scientists who have expressed views on the issue have said they believe that if fetuses can feel pain, the neurological wiring is not in place until later, after the time when nearly all abortions occur. . . .

Call for Papers: Conference on Applied Feminism and Health
CALL FOR PAPERS: "APPLIED FEMINISM AND HEALTH"
The University of Baltimore School of Law's Center on Applied Feminism seeks submissions for its Seventh Annual Feminist Legal Theory Conference. This year's theme is "Applied Feminism and Health." The conference will be held on March 6 and 7, 2014. For more information about the conference, please visit law.ubalt.edu/caf.
With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare) and renewed attacks on reproductive health in the United States, the time is right to consider the relationship between feminism and health across multiple dimensions. This conference seeks to explore the intersections between feminist legal theory and physical, mental, public, and community health in the United States and abroad. Papers might explore the following questions: What impact has feminist legal theory had on women's health policy and practice? How might feminist legal theory respond to the health challenges facing communities and individuals, as well as increase access to health care? What sort of support should society and law provide to ensure good health? How do law and feminist legal theory conceptualize the role of the state in relation to health rights and reproductive justice? What are the links between health, feminist legal theory, and sports? Are there rights to good health and what are their foundations? How do health needs and conceptions of rights vary across cultural, economic, religious, and other identities? What are the areas where health justice is needed and how might feminist legal theory help?
This conference will attempt to address these and other questions from the perspectives of activists, practitioners, and academics. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants and audience members to exchange ideas about the current state of feminist legal theories. We hope to deepen our understandings of how feminist legal theory relates to health and to move new insights into practice. In addition, the conference is designed to provide presenters with the opportunity to gain feedback on their papers.

In Accepting Review of Oklahoma Law, Supreme Court Confronts "Cleverest New Anti-Abortion Law"
Slate: The Cleverest New Anti-Abortion Law, by Emily Bazelon:
Will the Supreme Court strike down Oklahoma's devious attempt to stop doctors from prescribing the safest kind of medical abortion?
The biggest-ever wave of abortion restrictions has been flooding the states since Republicans victories in the 2010 election. The canny genius behind these new laws is that they reduce access to abortion in the name of protecting women's health. The statutes are written to seem reasonable, sober, and safety based, perhaps none more so than the 2011 Oklahoma law making it harder for doctors to prescribe the drugs used to induce a medical abortion. A challenge to the Oklahoma law promises to be the next big Supreme Court case about abortion. . . .

If you had no idea that abortion was slated to come before the Supreme Court this year, you're not alone. Thecomplicated case that's up for debate,Cline v. Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice, has flown under the radar precisely because it's fairly complex and doesn't immediately seem to be all that important. But it could have huge implications for the current laws in over a dozen states across the country — and depending how the justices rule, it could ultimately set the precedent for the future of the entire United States' access to reproductive health care.
Here's what you need to know about the potentially landmark case . . . .

Fierce Backlash Has Followed Mexico City's Legalization of Abortion
The Nation: Mexico's Abortion Wars, American-Style, by Kathryn Smith:
After Mexico City liberalized its abortion law, a fierce backlash followed. Is its striking resemblance to the US "pro-life" movement a coincidence?
When Mexico City's law changed in 2007, allowing elective abortions in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, it was a substantial victory for reproductive rights advocates in a country, and a region, where the Catholic Church dominates daily life. Across Latin America, access to legal abortion is a rarity, and in 2007, all eyes turned to Mexico City to see how the experiment would play out—and whether it could be replicated. . . .
After decriminalization, however, a fierce backlash unfurled across Mexico. . . .

Hammer Film Productions founded in 1948 quickly acquired a following with such films as The Quatermass Experiment (Val Guest 1954) and the follow-ups, Quatermass II (Val Guest 1956) and X the Unknown (Leslie Norman 1955). Later it found a niche in classic horror, Frankenstein & Dracula movies and then prehistoric spectacles like One Million years BC ( Don Chaffey 1970). But Hammer were responsible for more than just horror flicks !
The Dammed (Joseph Losey 1960), Witchfinder General (Michael Reeves 1967) among a host of others, including films from Vernon Sewell, John Gilling, and Don Sharp. Freddie Francis (also responsible for directing some of Hammer's horrors) became one of our most respected cinematographers (Elephant Man, Cape Fear, and The Straight Story (1999)).
Early films were shot on a Vinten Everest, then from 1957 onwards most were shot in 'scope on an Arri 35mm. In 1959 Hammer acquired a Newall NC, a British made version of the American Mitchell rack-over NC developed in the late 1940s. The Newall has four 1000' mags, a studio (3-phase) motor, a 24v motor, and a 240v single fps animation motor. Hammer mainly used it for reverse, stop frame, high speed or wild (non sync) exterior shots, where they couldn't use the 3-phase mains Arri. (see The Damned 1961, Quatermass and the pit 1967).
Hammer used the Newall for model and effects work right up to the early 70s, then with the demise of Hammer as a production company the camera, like most of their assets, went under the hammer at an auction held at Bray Studios.
The pictures show it as it is today, with the original motors, standard Cooke Panchro lenses and Edmonton dolly. It is unusual that a camera of this age is still original and complete, with none of the after market camera conversions that usually happen to cameras as film technology advances. It is still used occasionally for model animation work and exhibition.
Cooke deepfield Panchro 100mm f2.5 (sn 302649) c.1948 Hammer's old lenses get a new lease of life on a Panasonic GH1..
Thanks to Don Fearney (Hammer archivist), and DPs Freddie Francis and Harry Oakes for their assistance in compiling the cameras history.
The Mitchell News Camera or NC was introduced in 1930, the blimped version, BNC, was the camera of choice for major motion picture production from just before the beginning of World War II through to the advent of the Mitchell BNCR in December 1967. The first was made in August of 1934, the second in August, 1935, and third in January 1937. Because of the war, there was only one camera made between 1939 and 1946, (serial no 18, in June of 1941). After the war production by Mitchell Camera Corp. increased dramatically and by 1947 they were making 32 a year, (serial nos 32 through 64). The age of Hollywood in the 1950s' was about to roll and a Mitchell BNC was still the camera of choice, but Mitchell were unable to satisfy world demand and for several years a copy was made under licence by Newall Engineering Ltd. in Peterborough, England. The Newall NC's were built with noticeably different looking film mags, that were both heavier and quieter than the American models, more suited to film sets than newsreel or military uses, they use an elegant quick release mechanism on the mag door, rather than the Mitchell screw action which sometimes needed a hammer to get it off.
Mitchell manufactured 364 BNCs, (#1-365, there is no #13), many over 60 years old, were still the work horse of the animation industry (until the advent of DSLR's) and to some extent the motion control industry. They were renowned for the precision and accuracy of the film transport mechanism -better than that of many modern cameras.
A reflex version, BNCR, was relatively briefly produced (#107 appeared on e-bay in 2007) before being superceded by the last Mitchell, the S35R. The design was then acquired by Panavision for their range of cameras.
There are no available figures for the number of Newall NC made, but s/n 521 (with a Panavision mount) sold at Christies in 2006.

Madeline Smith, behind the camera!
I think it was Harry Oaks who said the camera was just used for special effects, and this angle was given credence by Leigh Took (Mattes and Miniatures @ Bray) who leant me the old wooden legs and the sidefinder for the event.... It also explains why Hammer owned the camera, a drama shoot might be done and over in 3 or 4 weeks (my estimate, don't actually have figures for Hammer... ) and it makes sense to hire a camera if this is all you are doing. The special effects take longer, require the camera to sit around unused... and maybe it's helpful if it is the same camera every time... it becomes a known quantity in terms of it's capability and foibles, and it can be modified. Typical of this vintage Cooke, the 100mm lenses has no follow focus ring. The 50mm has the front machined off, such that the focus distances have had to be re-engraved, it is likely this was to facilitate use with an anamorphic adapter? It is the bottom lens on the photo with Maddy; the 100mm lens is closest to the motor, to the fore of the photo.
However the camera clearly wasn't just used for mattes and stop-frame sfx, because of the motors. The 3 phase mains motor were used for sound sync (1950s/60s sound recorders used 3 phase mains too!) and the 12v motor is on the camera in the behind-the-scenes photo for "The Dammed". It's also true that a Newall Blimp (for sound proofing the camera) was stored in the cellars at Bray Studios for many years after the Hammer auction, and this may have been part of the Hammer kit. Unfortunately, several Thames floods over the years took their toll and it no longer exists (the distinctive Newall badge from the mag cover was salvaged.. see below).
What bothered me for a while was that the lenses were standard spherical lenses (for shooting 3x4).. but Hammer films are anamorphic... Hammer's version of wide screen involved a separate anamorphic lens in front of the standard lens (similar to the first Cinemascope lenses), with it's own set of focus adjustments (sounds like a nightmare).
I did see another photo on the day, with another Newall, blimped and with a serial number clearly visible! but it was 200 and something... I think the photo was taken at Elstree. So not all bts photos (inc cameras) will be of this Newall... which includes I guess, the picture with Barbara Shelley (although it appears to be the same, or similar, Edmonton dolly she is sat on.... may have to, sadly, update the web page!).
This was not the 1st Hammer reunion at Bray, the 1st was in 1999, see Dark Terrors magazine issue17.

Tomorrow, the Sacramento Cyclocross Series is set to open it's 2015 season with their event at Orangevale Park, Orangevale. Event organizers Jen and Clint Claassen and TimeYourRace have already been busy this season, providing timing and scoring at the West Sac Cyclocross Grand Prix and CrossReno, so they are in grand form for their second season in charge of SacCX.
The Claassen's reinvigorated the series last year by moving venues closer to Sacramento and laying on a terrific District Championships at the Lange Twins Winery. This season there is again an eight-race calendar; the series includes two new venue at Lakeside Church, Folsom, and the Sacramento Raceway, an earlier October date for Lange Twins, and a December night race to close out the year.
The Sacramento Cyclocross Series has been running for many years starting under the auspices of John and Linda Elgart in 2002-03. Rich Maile took the helm for a further 3 years before Brian Joder and BicyclingEvents.com began running the series for 2010-11. It's rich history has seen many national champions take to the field including both Elgarts, Cody Kaiser, Don Myrah, and Kateřina Nash. A certain claim-to-fame for several years was the naked cyclocross race at a clothing-optional resort.
How Does One Negotiate the CrossReno Hay-Pit?
The CrossReno course was long and tough with several obstacles to make the race that much harder for riders. The big run up had a soft turn into its base and then plank barriers just after the crest. Some categories also contended with off-camber and loose dirt on the downhill side. Another set of plank barriers greeted racers just before the finish straight-away. A good approach speed was necessary for the fly-over bridge and the two 180° turns in the sand-pit made riding a difficult proposition.
A coup de grâce of sorts was the hay pit – a raised wide, wooden box filled with hay. On either edge were plank barriers wide enough to precariously ride along and yet narrow enough to change the complexion of a rider's race. In instances for some riders their choice of line would gain a position or two. Yet at least one rider kissed away the top step of the podium with a less than graceful exit from the hay pit. No doubt, the planks were inviting as they could exact less energy from a racer.
Throughout the day, racers took one of a myriad of lines through the hay pit with the bike carry as the most straight forward. The following photographs are examples of the more successful attempts to overcome the obstacle.
Shadow Industries staged an excellent festival and bike race yesterday for many interested in music, food and drink, health and fitness, and cyclocross. The reviews are top notch from those that know all too well themselves the machinations needed to promote an event. On time starts, execution to a tee, and a course that drew begrudging admiration from many for its tough challenges, were just some of the positives for the first CrossReno.
On top of all this, the day saw excellent racing across all categories and impressive results for racers from NorCal Nevada in the Elite fields. Czech National Champion and Olympian Kateřina Nash (Luna Pro Team), who makes her home in California, topped off a fine week with the win for Elite Women. It was her third after victories last week at WSCXGP and mid-week at CrossVegas.
In another compelling race, Ben Berden (Wcup Stoemper), for much of the hour, battled with Troy Wells (Team CLIF Bar) and NorCal's own Tobin Ortenblad (California Giant/Specialized). On the final lap, Berden pulled the card from up his sleeve and pulled away to take an exciting victory. Wells and Ortenblad tried to pull him back on the finish straightaway.
In just 4 days, weekend cyclocross racing for NorCal Nevada begins with the Lobster Cup. Most of the race-organizers have their 2015-16 events posted on web sites or social media. For an up-to-date listing of all events, including interweb-links, go to the Fit and Filthy calendar or click on the Calendars button (upper right). This calendar remains updated throughout the season.
This coming year may very well improve upon many terrific races produced in NorCal Nevada last season. Some highlights from 2014-15 include the return of the Clark Natwick GP, big attendance at the inaugural WSCXGP, a muddy Surf City Cyclo-X at the Fairgrounds, and the district championships held at SacCX's Lange Twins venue.
To open 2015-16, both the Rock Lobster Cup (29 August) and CrossReno (19 September), from ShadowIndustries, are inaugural events this season. The latter is a festival-affair that bookends CrossVegas along with the West Sac GP (12 September), another 'cross festival. A dedicated cyclocross course and drag racing are big features at Bonny Doon.
Clif Bar is putting on relay racing at Cykel Scramble and Central Coast has three races in September. There is even mid-week racing at the Folsom Rodeo Cross before SacCX opens their book at Orangevale Park on 27 September. All of these events appeal to a wide range of racers from the community and are certain to bring in more terrific racing.
As of this past May, one negative to the season so far is an apparent but, with hope, temporary, cessation of the NorCal versus SoCal California State Cyclocross Championships. Sam Ames struggles to find better dates for the event than the end of January without running into conflicts with other races in December.
Now, with less than a work-week remaining, the summer is all but over and 'cross racers from NorCal Nevada have waited long enough.

7. Archetypal Psychology
Throughout our lives, we are always participating in a biological and spiritual individuation process that has taken billions of years. Helene Shulman
This review of human somatic and neural development, a gender mutuality, and self-organized personality can now engage our dynamic, arduous, lifelong course of psychic individuation. In this regard we enlist the archetypal psychology of Freud's younger contemporary Carl Jung (1875-1961). Drawing upon a rich corpus of mythic, alchemical, shamanic and religious wisdom, a life passage is traced from a maternal embrace which must be parted with to enter the treacherous external world in search of a ones own distinct persona. Phases of experiment, struggle, test and loss, in symbolism a cathartic disintegration, eventually leads to palliative reunification. Opposites of feminine anima and masculine animus separate and clash in allegorical death and rebirth on the way to sacred marriage in the conception of a whole person.
Mythic dimensions bring illustrative value. A male "hero" is more involved with aspects of conflict and quest, the female "heroine" evokes beneficent synthesis. Masculine phases align more with a transit between levels while the feminine resides at original and future abodes. And there is a crucial point for a natural genesis narrative. In their classic essence, Buddha, the Grail Knight, Dante, pilgrim, shaman, and each candidate must ultimately come to their own witness and discovery. The guides retire, the task cannot be done for them. In order to attain new being the seeker must be able realize their own reception of wisdom. Finding the Grail vessel is not enough to restore the kingdom, Parsifal must mindfully ask the Grail question. In such unity, a person can both acknowledge and reconcile mother and father and be faithful to oneself.
An endeavor to (re)join human and universe in a temporal, secular age would involve a correspondence between the spiral path of personal individuation and the generic way that complex systems organize themselves as complements vie and cohere into an emergent whole. Ones daily round may then become a microcosmic exemplar of and contribution to a developmental, personalizing cosmos. As Carl Jung, Pierre Teilhard, Freya Mathews and many others have proposed, human, earthly and cosmic psychogenesis are, as ever, one and the same.
Berzonsky, Carol and Susanne Moser. Becoming Homo Sapiens Sapiens: Mapping the Psycho-Cultural Transformation in the Anthropocene. Anthropocene. Online November, 2017. An independent scholar with a Pacifica Graduate Institute doctorate and a consultant with a Ph.D. in geography from Clark University shift from technical aspects to include Jungian sensitivities to help survive, mitigate, this human impact phase which envelopes and imperials us. To wit, they turn to and evoke a woman's wisdom, a shared sapience, so that whole persons may be advised and moved to come together in humane, sustainable communities.
If it is true that humans are about to leave behind the environmental conditions we have known for the 150,000–200,000 years of our species' existence, then we are now changing the context in which we have evolved to date. This means Homo sapiens will have to co-evolve further with the climatic and environmental conditions it is creating through its planetary impact in the Anthropocene. Given the rapidity of the changes humans have set in motion, however, this next evolutionary phase may be cultural rather than biological. This paper presents a model of psychological transformation from the fields of depth psychology and anthropology known as an archetypal death-rebirth process. It gives purpose and meaning to the suffering involved in transformations and, crucially, offers hope through the vision of renewal. Its tripartite progression of severance, threshold, and reincorporation provides a map for navigating this transformation. Finally, it offers an explication of how a transformation far more profound than changes in actions and policies may allow us to become the truly wise humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, our species' name denotes we could be. (Abstract excerpts)
Brooke, Roger. Ubuntu and the Individuation Process: Toward a Multicultural Analytical Psychology. Psychological Perspectives. 51/1, 2008. The Duquesne University psychologist and 1994 South African expatriate contends that Carl Jung's necessarily European bias led him to view life's individuation process in terms of a single person. But this focus tends to slight other, indigenous cultures, which situate an individual in a conducive community setting. An African path of individuation would then rightly be versed in and graced by a reciprocity of self and society.
Ubuntu is based on the recognition that we become persons through other persons who treat us as persons, and that the community can be imagined as facilitating our individuation. (36) African humanism, evoked by the term Ubuntu, would imagine individuation as a process of personal growth and transformation within that network of relationships that make such transformation possible and to which the person remains, therefore, ethically indebted. Augustine Shutte describes Ubuntu as the animating spirit behind African virtues such as patience, hospitality, loyalty, respect, conviviality, endurance, and sympathy. (49)
Burke, Joseph. The Rainmaker's Reality and the Holographic Archetype. Psychological Perspectives. 50/1, 2007. A Jungian psychotherapist evokes the luminous feature which suffuses deep religion and science by way of the optical hologram whence each iota contains a refraction of the whole image. From the Sefirot and Indra's web to our intricate, nested psyche and on to an ascendant similarity from galaxies to Gaia, the same pattern and process holds and recurs everywhere. Another view of the once and future salutary secret if only we might learn to see and read together.
This article postulates and supports the existence of an archetype, here named the holographic archetype, in which at least one or more essential qualities of the whole are reflected or contained in each of the parts that make up that whole. (26) The passing forms of the holographic archetype identified in this article include the hologram, psychic structure, synchronicity, several teachings in the sacred traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity, memory, the process of scientific discovery, chaos in physics, and nonlocality in physics. (26)
Cambray, Joe. The Emergence of the Ecological Mind in Hua-Yen/Kegon Buddhism and Jungian Psychology. Journal of Analytical Psychology. 62/1, 2017. The author (search), who has a doctorate in chemistry, a masters in counseling psychology, is currently president of the Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, CA. This paper continues his project to marry widely separate psychic and physical aspects into a common, meaningful synthesis. As a natural expression, Rhizome flora, which is an underground root network for spreading ground plants, is availed. Carl Jung (Plato before, search James Olney for both) drew upon this metaphor for an abiding guidance from which life and persons arise. Postmodernity, however, takes the opposite view of a random meander without any deep source. Into the 21st century, Cambray wonders if new findings of cosmic webworks, which seem akin to neural networks, along with dark energies, could aid and inform a vital expansion.
The complexity associated with deep interconnectedness in nature is beginning to be articulated and elaborated in the field of ecological studies. While some parallels to the psyche have been made, Jung's explicit contribution by way of the image of rhizomes has not been considered in detail. Philosopher Gilles Deleuze acknowledges borrowing the term from Jung, though he disagreed with Jung's Empedoclean use of the term. The paper presents some fundamental properties of rhizomes along with contemporary scientific research on mycorrhizal (fungal) networks. Comparisons are first made with classical symbolic forms. Then comparison of rhizomal networks is made to those found both in mammalian brains and in recent images of the 'cosmic web' …. one of the largest structures in the known universe as clusters of galaxies which form into filaments. An additional comparison of the emerging image of the universe as a whole with the ancient Chinese Buddhist cosmological vision from the Hua-Yen School (Kegon in Japan) again reveals profound parallels. (Abstract edited excerpt)
Cosmology has now identified a pervasive force permeating the entire universe, previously unrecognized until mapping the sectors of darkness revealed regions of voidness and their evolution in time. The results point to a new, unknown force, 'Dark Energy', generating increasing regions of relative 'no-thing-ness' and producing the intricate patterns of the Cosmic Web. Even though the details may reveal differences with the insights of Hua-Yen cosmology, we are left to ponder the remarkable capacity of the meditative methods of this school to create such a far-reaching vision and more generally how the nature of mind increasingly seems to reflect the universe in which it emerged. (Conclusion, 26)
Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. Then it withers away – an ephemeral apparition. When we think of the unending growth and decay of life and civilizations, we cannot escape the impression of absolute nullity. Yet I have never lost a sense of something that lives and endures underneath the eternal flux. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains. (Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, p. 4, 1961)
Cambray, Joseph. Synchronicity and Emergence. American Imago. 59/4, 2002. Jung's sense of an "acausal connectedness" in effect during psychic individuation is updated and reinterpreted in terms of self-organizing complex adaptive systems.
Cambray, Joseph. Synchronicity: Nature and Psyche in an Interconnected Universe. College Station: Texas A & M University Press, 2009. A Jungian psychologist provides a book-length essay from the "holistic perspective" of Carl Jung and collaborator physicist Wolfgang Pauli, for whom everything and everyone seamlessly reflect each other, to a 21st century encounter via theories of self-organizing, complex adaptive systems. By so doing, both cosmic nature and personal selfhood can be realized to develop and arise as similar individuations. This vista is continued in a Cultural Synchronicities chapter as the emergence of democratic societies. One senses that a grand synthesis of cosmogenesis and psychogenesis awaits if only we witness this revolutionary quickening, awakening universe.
The return of holism in the sciences through complexity theory has cut across traditional academic disciplines. The emergentist paradigm appears to have applicability at all levels of scale from the most microscopic/subatomic descriptions of physics, on through aggregate phenomena in chemistry, biology, and astronomy, as well as in the human and social sciences. (45-46)
Cambray, Joseph and Leslie Sawin, eds. Research in Analytical Psychology: Applications from Scientific, Historical, and Cross-Cultural Research. London: Routledge, 2018. Joseph Cambray (search), President of the Pacifica Graduate Institute and Leslie Swan, former director of the Jung Society of Washington, DC are Jungian analysts and philosophers. The collection goes on to consider complex systems as a path toward a lively, deeper nature with an integral consciousness. Chapters include Complexity, Ecological Systems, and Synchronicity, The Mathematics of Symbolic Structures, and The Difference in Therapeutic Process and Relationship in the West and East.
Cambray, Joseph and Linda Carter, eds. Analytical Psychology: Contemporary Perspectives on Jungian Analysis. London: Brunner-Routledge, 2004. New appreciations of human psychic development can be informed by the latest advances in cognitive science and complexity theory. In articles by Carter and Cambray, and by Cambray, the emergence of one's unified psyche as an individuated self is seen to arise from the activity of complex adaptive systems as they serve to manifest creative archetypal patterns.
This aspect of complexity (CAS) can be discerned throughout the whole of nature, from the subatomic to the cosmological, and is postulated to be an essential organizing principle at every level including the emergence of the mind out of the neural interactions of the brain as well as human social behaviors such as traffic jams, stock market trends and the evolution of city neighborhoods. (119)
Clarke, John James. Jung and Eastern Thought. London: Routledge, 1994. Oriental and Western mentalities are to be seen as polar opposites whose recognition and synthesis is necessary to make the world an individuated whole.
As Jung observed, this way of thinking (Taoist) is closely parallel to that of Medieval Europe, with its idea of the unus mundus (one world) involving a systematic correspondence between microcosm and macrocosm, and can be traced back to Greek conceptions of the bond of 'sympathy' that holds all things in organic harmony. (100)
Combs, Allan and Stanley Krippner. Jung and the Evolution of Consciousness. Psychological Perspectives. No. 33, 1996. The personal and planetary goal of self-awareness can be enlightened and empowered by the sciences of complexity.
Covington, Coline. In Search of the Heroine. Journal of Analytical Psychology. 34/3, 1989. Insights toward an integration of the feminine complement into generic mythic quests of the "hero."
Coward, Harold. Taoism and Jung: Synchronicity and Self. Philosophy East & West. 46/4, 1996. How Carl Jung drew upon Chinese correlative teachings to conceive an active resonance between ones inner psychic realm and the organically sensitive external cosmos.
In summary, then, Jung's "synchronicity" is the idea that a person is a participant in and meaningfully related to the acausal patterning of events in nature. (482)

Demand for jobs in the technology industry is growing fast and this is no surprise since tech touches all of our lives in both personal and professional capacities.
Web developers are programmers who specialize in the development of World Wide Web applications or any application that runs from a web server to a web browser. They focus on the design and workings of a website such as the navigation, layout and user-friendly interface.
A bachelor's degree in computer science or information technology is necessary for most employers to consider you for the job. However, technical skills and practical experience is also very important. Think about getting knowledgeable about HTML and CSS as well as learning about design principles. Getting certifications for Web Developer can be helpful in future and getting one in Mobile Application Development may give you an edge.
This job requires one to create harmony between existing computer systems within a company and incorporate new systems. It also requires one to create harmony between the systems and the employees who will be using them. Computer Systems Analysts look at cost versus benefit and what system will benefit the company financially as well as suit company employees' work style.
Look at getting a bachelor's degree in computer science or any related field. Having a master's degree in business administration (with a focus on computer systems) will be a great advantage when applying for this type of job.
Software development is more than just designing programs, even though it is the job's most identifiable quality. Other parts of this job include testing and debugging software, as well as maintaining and improving software once it is in operation.
Even though a bachelor's degree is usually essential to snagging a job as a Software Developer, having practical experience and knowledge can help you get your foot in the door. To be in the running for a job like this, stay up-to-date on the latest programming tools and languages by frequently taking refresher courses, even if you are not employed yet.
Hackers are becoming more proficient at swiping sensitive data from big corporations so this job has become a very valuable one. Information Security Analysts are responsible for assessing how protected a company or government agency's computer networks are and then working out a plan to secure these networks. It is a job that requires you to always be one step ahead. An Information Security Analyst focuses on three areas including risk assessment, vulnerability assessment and defense planning.
If you're an entry-level Information Security Analyst you will most likely be responsible for monitoring and analyzing information. Senior-level employees in this arena investigate to see if a security breach has occurred and why it occurred.
Usually you will require a bachelor's degree in computer science, programming or engineering. However, a Master's in Business Administration specializing in Information Systems is helpful in getting a great position. Be on the lookout for certifications that deal with cryptography, access control, and disaster recovery and risk management.
Database Administrators are the guardians of information. They use specialized software to organize, store and protect important data. They make sure that data is safe from unauthorized access. They also prevent data loss, merge old databases into new ones and make modifications to existing databases.
Above and beyond having a bachelor's in computer science or management information systems, certifications in specific database platforms is essential. Some of the most popular database platform certifications include MySQL Database Administrator, Oracle DBA and Microsoft Certified Database Administrator.
A Computer Support Specialist is sometimes also referred to as an IT Helpdesk Technician or Technical Support Specialist. Your title will vary depending on the type of user you are helping. A Computer Support Specialist helps people and organizations to use their computer software and equipment. They also test and evaluate existing network systems, provide regular maintenance and troubleshoot Internet systems, LANs (local area networks) and WANs (wide area networks).
Even though a university degree, college diploma or certification is a big plus for this type of job there are other factors that weigh heavier. Employers tend to look for a good level of computer competency, the ability to provide good customer service and technical acumen (or insight). You need to be knowledgeable in operating systems and hardware components.
Getting a job in the technology industry will require studying and hard work, the continual development of new skills, knowledge of the latest technology and passion (as is the case with any job you do).
*This is based on what technology jobs showed up the most frequently in lists of jobs that pay the best, have the lowest unemployment rates and have the most promising future growth.
