LA backs deal for downtown NFL stadium
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Los Angeles took a major step Friday toward building a downtown stadium to lure an NFL team back to the nation's second most populous city, despite questions about how a 72,000-seat venue in the city's urban core would impact notorious freeway traffic, nearby housing prices and air quality.
The 12-0 vote by City Council came after starkly contrasting predictions about what the $1.5 billion project would mean for an economically troubled city that has fretted over the loss of professional football since the Raiders and Rams fled Southern California in 1994.
Supporters said the deal with developer Anschutz Entertainment Group would create thousands of jobs, a center of civic pride and new tax dollars for cash-starved City Hall, while critics warned that nearby housing prices would soar and traffic would come to a virtual standstill on game days.
"I know the result will be the return of economic vitality," Councilman Paul Koretz predicted.
The vote was overshadowed by the recent announcement that AEG was seeking a new owner, though company officials have assured City Hall the stadium plan will remain the same, even if the company changes hands.
The biggest question about the stadium is the most obvious: There's no one to play in it. But Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other supporters hope the agreement will eventually attract a team to one of the nation's most lucrative media markets.
AEG, also the owner of Los Angeles' Staples Center arena and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, has deep ties to City Hall. Any deal to buy the company, a subsidiary of Denver-based Anschutz Co., would mean a major shift in sports and entertainment in the region and around the world.
AEG's holdings include pro soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy, part-ownership of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, and major entertainment and real estate holdings in downtown Los Angeles. Outside the city, AEG owns Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo and all or part of several arenas around the U.S. and in Sweden, China and Australia.
The project, which calls for the renovation of an adjacent convention center, is facing a lawsuit filed by anti-poverty and environmental activists that some predict could delay or derail plans for the stadium, known as Farmers Field. The activist group, Play Fair at Farmers Field Coalition, is challenging a state law intended to help swiftly resolve legal challenges to the stadium, and it also wants AEG to pay $60 million toward affordable housing in the long-struggling downtown neighborhood.
A rival group, Majestic Realty, has proposed building a stadium in the City of Industry, outside Los Angeles.
AEG is hoping to have an NFL team on the field by the 2017 season. The company has pledged about $35 million to reduce traffic problems.

HTC One X+ puts in an appearance in T-Mobile ... - Know Your Cell
The HTC One X+ hasn?t exactly been a well-kept secret so far. The device has surfaced a number of times, most recently when it made its way through the FCC for testing, but the smartphone has turned up again online wearing a T-Mobile decal. Without wishing to seem obtuse, this would seem to suggest that the device will be aligning with the carrier in the not-too-distant future.
The One X+ isn?t a world away from the original One X, except that the Taiwanese manufacturer has opted to kick this update out with a 1.7GHz quad-core Tegra 3 CPU rather than the 1.5GHz dual-core ?Krait,? which powers the former. Users could also be looking at a serving of Android 4.1, or Jelly Bean, rather than the Ice Cream Sandwich, which was featured on the original device.
The device was unveiled on Twitter by @evleaks, the user who correctly leaked Nokia?s new Lumia 920, so credibility is high with this one. Aside from the snapshot, however, there?s very little new information to be gleaned ? so we?ll just have to put on a pot of a coffee and wait for T-Mob to take the covers off this device for real, which shouldn?t be too soon...we hope.

Evolutionary psychologists study the purpose of punishment and reputation
ScienceDaily (Sep. 26, 2012) ? For two decades, evolutionary scientists have been locked in a debate over the evolved functions of three distinctive human behaviors: the great readiness we show for cooperating with new people, the strong interest we have in tracking others' reputations regarding how well they treat others, and the occasional interest we have in punishing people for selfishly mistreating others.
In an article published September 27 in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers at UC Santa Barbara's Center for Evolutionary Psychology report new findings that may help settle the debate and provide answers to the behavioral puzzle.
As they go about their daily lives, people usually don't know the names of the people they encounter and -- in cities, at least -- typically expect never to see them again, noted Max M. Krasnow, a postdoctoral researcher in psychology at UCSB and the paper's lead author. Despite the fact that these encounters are brief, anonymous, and unlikely to be repeated, however, people often behave as if they are interested in the ongoing well-being and behavior of the strangers they meet.
"Imagine that, while grocery shopping, you see someone help a wheelchair-bound person he or she doesn't know get her bags across the parking lot to her car. For many people, witnessing the action would elicit feelings of kindness toward the helper," Krasnow explained. "Equally, if people see someone driven off the road by a reckless driver, they might become angry enough to pursue and even confront the driver. Evolutionary scientists are interested in why humans have impulses to help the kind stranger or to punish the callous one. At first glance, these sometimes costly impulses seem like they would subtract from the welfare of the individual who exhibited them, and so should be evolutionarily disfavored."
Other contributors to the paper include Leda Cosmides and John Tooby, professors of psychology and anthropology, respectively, and co-directors of UCSB's Center for Evolutionary Psychology; and Eric J. Pedersen, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Miami.
Scientists have struggled for decades to explain these behaviors in evolutionary terms, with two alternative theories gaining prominence. The first proposes that these social inclinations emerged because our ancestors lived in small populations, where every encounter -- even one with a stranger -- had a chance to develop into an ongoing relationship that yielded mutual gains from cooperation. In such a world, paying attention to how those around you treat others could help zero in on the partners most likely to cooperate with you. In addition, letting it be known that you wouldn't allow yourself to be treated poorly would increase the likelihood that you'd be treated well.
The second theory suggests that these behaviors emerged because our ancestors lived in groups that often fought with other groups -- interactions where groups with high levels of internal cooperation would have the advantage over groups in which the members were divisive and exploitative of each other. This theory proposes that these other-oriented social inclinations were designed to cultivate a group-wide culture of cooperation.
"The reason why the debate has dragged on so long is that previous studies unfortunately focused on situations where the two theories made very similar predictions," said Tooby. "We wanted to design studies involving situations where the theories made sharply contrasting predictions, so the results would falsify one theory or the other."
In the studies reported in this paper, over 200 participants were tested in a series of structured social interactions designed to capture the essence of real-world situations like the supermarket mentioned above. "We wanted to know exactly what kinds of information people actually use in deciding who to trust -- that is, who to cooperate with, and who to avoid," said Krasnow. "If our minds are designed to seek out the benefits of cooperative relationships with others, then participants should have preferred to trust those likely to cooperate with them in particular. On the other hand, if our reputational psychology is designed to support group-wide cohesion and cooperation, the participants should have resisted cooperating with those who defected on other group members."
The findings supported the individual cooperation account, not the group cooperation account. "Participants ceased responding to information about whether their partners cheated others when they had good information that their partners would not cheat them," Tooby emphasized.
The researchers were also interested in testing the diverging predictions about what situations should trigger the inclination to punish cheating. "We all recognize that punishing others is costly and unpleasant," said Cosmides. "So what benefits led it to evolve?"
The authors reasoned that tracking the triggers of punishment should illuminate which benefits favored its evolution. "If the impulse to punish evolved as a bargaining tool to defend the individual by deterring against future instances of being cheated, then participants should be inclined to punish others' defections when they themselves would be vulnerable to being cheated by that person in the future," said Kasnow. "On the other hand, if our punitive psychology is designed to defend the group against cheating, then participants should have punished those who mistreated others, regardless of their own personal exposure to continuing mistreatment by that person."
The researchers found that participants strongly conditioned their punishment of their partners' cheating on their own vulnerability to continued bad treatment from their partner. As Krasnow pointed out, people in these experiments systematically avoided expending effort to reform those who only posed a risk to others. Cosmides noted, "It's very hard to reconcile these findings with the group cooperation theory."
These results have significant implications for the science of cooperation. "The current research findings suggest that the human readiness to cooperate, our selectivity in who we cooperate with, and our tendency to respond negatively when we are cheated form an efficient package to forge and maintain strongly cooperative relationships," said Krasnow. "The human tendencies to care about how a person treats others and to protest bad treatment are not simply a thin veneer of cultural norms atop a cold and calculating core. Rather, they represent fundamental features of a universal human social nature."

Court decision produces twist in Wisconsin union fight
After a ruling that struck down parts of Wisconsin's collective-bargaining law, unions are calling to renegotiate contracts. Separately, an appeals court took up the constitutionality of the law Monday.
In Wisconsin, the tug of war over unions shows no signs of letting up.

Following the ruling earlier this month that struck down parts of the state?s stringent collective-bargaining law, public-sector unions are now pressing for a quick return to the negotiating table to revise their contracts. The unions? strategy is to ink new deals before a higher court can potentially reinstate the legislation.
Separately, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago heard arguments Monday about the constitutionality of the collective-bargaining law. That suit is headed by the Wisconsin Education Association, which represents public-education employees in the state.
The outcome of the tug of war is still up for grabs. Because so little case law exists to address legislation that targets the bargaining powers of public-sector unions, there ?is potential for legitimacy? to the ruling that came down earlier this month, says Paul M. Secunda, an associate professor of law at Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee. But ?there?s also a lot of room for disagreement.?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) signed the collective-bargaining legislation, named Act 10, into law in March 2011. Protesters claimed that the limitations on public-sector unions (except police and fire) were a political maneuver to weaken union powers. Governor Walker framed his efforts as a way to rein in state spending, a position he says was validated after he prevailed in a recall election in June.
This month, Dane County Judge Juan Colas ruled that the law violates both the state and federal constitutional rights of workers to free speech, free association, and equal representation under the law. Judge Colas also ruled that the law violates a special ?home rule? charter of the state constitution that allows city workers in Milwaukee to determine their pension contributions rather than the state.
Walker criticized the ruling as political, describing Colas as a ?liberal activist.? Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen filed an appeal last week and is asking the courts to freeze the ruling until an outcome is determined. A hearing is scheduled Oct. 4.
Central to Colas?s decision is how he perceived Act 10 to treat two sets of public-sector workers differently: Although Act 10 addresses educators and public-safety workers, it has no effect on nonunionized workers, such as municipal clerks or courtroom employees.
Union workers are ?being penalized for being in unions, and that?s the problem,? says Professor Secunda. ?The state could have chosen to deny the right to bargain for anyone, but that?s not what it?s done. It said, ?If you?re not in a union, you can individually bargain with us, but we won?t bargain with you if you?re in a union.? And that?s what Judge Colas found so objectionable.?
The separate action at the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals also explores whether Act 10 violates First Amendment and equal-protection rights ? but only connected to its requirements that members recertify a union?s right to organize each year and that the unions can?t automatically deduct dues from worker paychecks.
US District Judge William Conley struck down both provisions to Act 10 in March. His ruling did not address the law?s elimination of collective-bargaining powers on all issues but base wages.
Although arguments were heard Monday, the three-judge panel hearing the case said they would not issue a decision that day.
With Act 10 in sudden limbo, many municipalities are unsure how to proceed with contract terms and budget savings that were approved under or attributable to the provisions of the law.
And some unions are anxious to renegotiate contracts before the Colas ruling is potentially blocked by a higher court. For example, the Milwaukee Teachers? Education Association is requesting that the city?s public-school system engage in collective bargaining for three of its units ? educational assistants, bookkeepers and accountants, and substitute teachers ? whose contracts expired in June. The organization also wants bargaining to start this fall for its teacher contract, which ends next June.
Similarly, the District Council 48 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, which represents about 100,000 employees in Milwaukee County, is requesting that municipalities start the bargaining process. Because most budgets were drafted under Act 10, many municipalities say they are either still reviewing the impact that a sudden bargaining process would have on budgets, or refusing to open negotiations because it is so late in the budgetary process.
?In the short term, we are moving ahead with our budget. It would be really difficult at this point to start over,? Brendan Conway, a spokesman for Milwaukee County, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The county?s 2013 budget is due for introduction on Thursday.
Mr. Van Hollen, the attorney general, says he is requesting an immediate stay of the Colas ruling to prevent ?this area of confusion right now.?
In talking with WISN television in Milwaukee on Sunday, Van Hollen said that with the current ruling, the state is ?going to have school districts and municipalities that don?t know how this law applies to them now, whether this law applies to them now.? He added, ?And just that sheer confusion is what we?re looking to avoid.?

How and Why to Make Your Website Tablet - Duct Tape Marketing
Like this? Share with friends.
Talk about mobile and tablet usage dominates computer hardware conversations and the implications are one of the hottest topics in marketing right now as well.
Website visitors are now consuming content from our sites in a dizzying array of devices, formats and orientations. There was a time when browser compatibility was a designer?s primary concern. Today, designers and site owners need to be increasingly concerned with media compatibility or more to the point, the size and shape of the viewer?s screen.
The use of mobile and tablet devices for browsing has crept past 10% in my stats and my guess is this is undereported as some device detection goes unreported. The number one device is the iPad, with the iPhone a close number two.
Tablets, including Samsung Galaxy, Kindle, Nook and Google?s Nexus 7, as well as the still dominate iPad, are poised to make huge strides in adoption and usage in 2013 and may take usage on some sites into the 25% range.
So, yes, now is the time to get serious about making sure mobile and tablet visitors to your site have a great experience.
The first step might be to get a picture of where your site is currently. Test your site?s mobile readiness here, view your site as it might look on dozens of devices here and check out this great education resource.
Whether you decide to hire someone to do it for you, do it yourself or find a solution in the middle, one term that?s important to understand is media queries. Media queries allow web developers to change the layout of a page based on the media that?s displaying it ? whether that means adapting it to fit a smaller screen or just stripping it down to the essentials before it heads to a printer.
The term and concept has been around for years ? remember visiting a site that had a print friendly option ? that site was using what we call today a theme switcher to change the design based on a media query.
This concept is what drives a great deal of what goes on behind the scenes in device specific design.
Below are some of the options you might explore as you determine the best strategy for adopting mobile and tablet design experiences for your website.
Build it for you
You can simply hire a designer to create a mobile friendly design and then integrate it into your current design. In many ways this is how you might get the most useful, yet most costly design. A good mobile designer should understand that good mobile design is more than simply making everything smaller. The best mobile design starts with understanding intent and delivering the must have content beautifully.
The IAB has a nice directory of mobile site builders and long time player moFuse has a hybrid
Add a Plugin
One very simply fix for WordPress blog sites is to explore a number of plugins that do the heavy lifting of detection and switching and come with mobile themes built in. Plugins such as WPTouch Pro and WPMobile Detector are good options. You might also consider simply adding a mobile theme, such as Mobile Pro as your theme.
Automatic mobilization
There are a growing number of what might be called automatic solution ? services that take your current site and automatically create a mobile version. These tools attempt to make sense of the navigation and core content, but also allow for some amount of customization and addition of widgets for things like social sharing, contact forms and eCommerce functions.
Dudamobile works very well and has several large integrations including Google Mobile Ads. bMobilized is another player that includes some great customizations, including a large library of widgets.-
Adopt Responsive Design
Another growing option that is preferred by some is something called Responsive Design. The idea behind this concept is that instead of using mobile sites or themes, the design uses media queries to determine the best way to show the content based on the user?s device. The practice makes use of CSS, fluid grids and flexible images to create one experience responsive to many environments.
WordPress theme makers are quickly creating responsive design themes that can replace the need for mobile and tablet specific tactics. Studio Press has many responsive design themes and the Responsive theme also draws high praise.
For those that want to dive in and learn more about this topic check out Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcotte, The book explores CSS techniques and design principles, including fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries
If you want to explore fluid grid design in a truly geeky way have a look at Gridpack.
Build Your Own App
Of course one final option that you might explore is the app route. There are a number of tools that make it fairly simple to build your own apps. This assumes that you have content that people will want to visit using your their device?s native operating system rather than the web.
It?s a fun option, but might not be the most useful for many businesses.
However, if you want to explore jQueryMobile is a good place to start and check out drag and drop options such as MyAppBuilder and AppMakr.

Expedition Uncovers Seafloor Mountain, Dazzling Sea Life
A recent expedition to an isolated archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean came back with footage of thriving sea life swarming the slopes of a newfound seafloor mountain.
Videos captured by baited cameras revealed a rich underwater community of hammerhead sharks, silvertip sharks, large groupers, rays and a variety of other fish near the Chagos Archipelago, a string of 55 islands designated as a marine protected area by the British government in 2010.
Some have expressed concern over the newly established protections, because it appears they may be interfering with the efforts of local people to return to islands from which they were evicted in the mid-20th century. However, many have heralded the creation of the vast marine reserve.
Much of the riot of undersea life was congregated around a seafloor mountain, or seamount, a dramatic feature more than a mile in diameter that rises far above the ocean floor. Finding these geological features, which provide welcome habitat for sea creatures in the open ocean, is a huge challenge.
"There was a serious 'aha' moment," said Jessica Meeuwig, a professor at the University of Western Australia. Meeuwig, along with colleagues from the Zoological Society of London and Warwick University, were exploring an area that is poorly documented.
The first spot they visited ? an area chart suggested it was home to a seamount ? proved a disappointment. There was nothing there.
"Then, in crisscrossing the next location, sure enough ? a seamount came rising out of the depths," Meeuwig told OurAmazingPlanet in an email.
Although Meeuwig qualified the find as more of a confirmation of the seamount's existence, rather than an outright discovery, she said it was incredibly exciting nonetheless. Because seamounts attract such a large variety of sea life, they are often the target of large-scale fishing operations. This seamount appears to be untouched by trawlers.
Meeuwig said she was surprised by the sheer diversity and abundance of the sea life living near it, and by the large size of the creatures themselves. "Such big fish," she said.
The team dubbed the seamount Sandes Seamount in honor of Neil Sandes, captain of their research vessel, who took great pains to explore the region in intimate detail.?
"Oceans are really hard to study because we can't see easily below the water's surface," Meeuwig said. "So managing to pinpoint a proverbial needle in the haystack and documenting its marine biodiversity was very cool."

Obama's record in Muslim world: strides, setbacks
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Images of angry mobs in Arab cities burning American flags and attacking U.S. diplomatic posts suggest the Muslim world is no less enraged at the United States than when President George W. Bush had to duck shoes hurled at him in Baghdad.
But more than three years after President Barack Obama declared in Cairo that he would seek "a new beginning" in U.S.-Muslim relations, a closer look reveals strides as well as setbacks.
One U.S.-led war is over and another is receding, although there are questions about whether America has made lasting gains in Afghanistan. The Arab Spring revolution, a spontaneous combustion that happened independent of Western influence, has given people new power and hope as well as democratic elections the U.S. supports.
But peace between Israel and the Palestinians is nowhere in sight, Iran is seen as a menace and broad mistrust with America is still deep and explosive across much of the Muslim world.
As nations across North Africa and the Middle East move chaotically toward democracy, they and Washington have settled into a wary, redefined relationship. Obama is not ready to call Mohammad Morsi, the popularly elected Egyptian president, an ally, and the democratically elected Iraqi president, Nouri al-Maliki, has dismissed U.S. demands that he stop Iran from using Iraqi airspace to fly weapons to Syria for use against anti-government rebels.
Such is the complicated progress report that Obama carries toward the United Nations General Assembly next week, his final moment on a world stage before the U.S. election on Nov. 6. For that election, Pew Research Center polling shows Obama has a clear edge over Republican Mitt Romney in handling foreign policy in general and problems in the Middle East specifically.
Across the world his standing remains markedly lower in predominantly Muslim nations. However, Leila Hilal, a Mideast expert at the New America Foundation, said Obama may have made more progress toward improving relations than critics say.
"Obama inherited a very damaged U.S. credibility in the region," she said, and so it would be unrealistic to think that his "new beginning" would take hold fast.
"There's only so much one president can do, given the history" of perceived insults by the U.S., she said. Those range all the way from the American invasion of Iraq to, more recently, the privately made anti-Islam video that ridicules the prophet Muhammad and triggered major protests across the Muslim world.
The question of the Obama administration's relationship with that Muslim world came under new election-year scrutiny when four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in a Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Obama found himself eulogizing the dead, pledging that the work of U.S. diplomacy would go on undaunted ? and prodding his Muslim partners to accept responsibilities.
"As they emerge into new forms of government, part of what they're going to have to do is to recognize that democracy is not just casting a ballot," Obama said this week. "It's respecting freedom of speech and tolerating people with different points of view."
Obama's critics say he misunderstands the nature of the threat to moderation in the Mideast. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the White House is demonstrating this by overstating the role of the anti-Islam video in igniting the violence that killed Stevens in Benghazi.
"It has nothing to do with videos. It has everything to do with Islamists trying to hijack these revolutions in places like Libya," McCain, Obama's 2008 challenger, said Wednesday. "And it shows the abysmal ignorance of this administration of what's really going on in the Middle East."
Abdeslam Maghraoui, the director of undergraduate studies in Duke University's political science department, says the protests that have erupted in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and in other Arab countries had more to do with local conditions than with U.S. policies. "The current anti-American backlash in the region is the byproduct of genuine misunderstanding, real ignorance and political jockeying among Islamic groups," he said.
Obama warned from the start that it would be a long slog.
In his Cairo speech on June 4, 2009, Obama noted that it was a "time of tension" between the U.S. and Muslims around the world ? "tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate."
At the time, Egyptians had not yet ousted their authoritarian leader, Hosni Mubarak, a decades-long U.S. ally, and popular rebellions had not yet sprung up across the region.
"I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect," Obama declared.
Assessing such an enormous promise is hard to quantify.
"It's vital to keep in mind that how Obama is perceived by the average person in Egypt or Iraq or Pakistan is not going to be the same as the way he's perceived by the diplomats or the opposition party," said Kecia Ali, an Islamic studies expert at Boston University. "To assume that there is a Muslim world view or a Middle Eastern view or even an Egyptian view of Obama makes no sense at all. There's not even an American view of Obama."
Then how about actions and results?
He has been unable to gather an agreed international response to Syria, where an Arab Spring revolt has devolved into a civil war that has killed 23,000 people, and the U.S. is unwilling to go it alone there. Without lethal aid from the West, the Syrian rebels have begun to accept arms and other assistance from more extreme factions, possibly including terror groups. That leaves open the possibility that if the rebels succeed in ousting President Bashar Assad, the country could be run by factions sympathetic to extremists.
On other big issues that help define U.S.-Muslim relations ? Iran, the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the Arab Spring ? the president has seen a combination of setback, stalemate and frustration.
Iran stands out as perhaps the most clear-cut failure. Early in his presidency Obama offered an open hand to Iran's leaders, hoping to negotiate limits on their nuclear program. He said in June 2009 that the nuclear standoff had reached a "decisive point," and that what was at stake was preventing a nuclear arms race in the Mideast.
But the Iranians gave him the cold shoulder, and after a series of inconclusive attempts at negotiations, they are thought to be progressing toward a nuclear weapons capability. As he nears the end of his term, Obama has little to show for his Iranian outreach beyond a strengthening of international sanctions and a chilled relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli has complained publicly about U.S. inaction and has given Romney a warm welcome in his country.
Obama did, as promised, reduce the U.S. military's presence in Muslim countries by removing all troops from Iraq and beginning to wind down the war in Afghanistan. But relations with Pakistan are arguably worse.
Obama priorities have been not just to mend relations with the broader Muslim world but also to sharpen the focus of U.S. policy toward defeating al-Qaida through the use of less blunt instruments of military power. And in joining NATO allies and the Arab League to get rid of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi, Obama succeeded without committing U.S. ground troops. But there are limits to the power of a U.S. president to shape relations with Muslim nations, even longstanding allies.
Steven A. Cook, a Mideast expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, says Washington has long tended to make political demands of Egypt and other Arab countries that they cannot reasonably be expected to meet.
"Americans consistently fail to recognize," he recently wrote, "that Arabs have their own politics and have the ability to calculate their own interests independently of what Washington demands."

Cocktail recipes for Sake and Pisco - South Florida Food and Wine
I?ve been to a few cocktail tastings recently and I have to say that overall they?ve been quite memorable and rather fun, especially on a Tuesday at 3 in the afternoon. Two standout tastings for me have been a Pisco from Chile and Sakes from Japan; both styles are turning out some impressive cocktails. I enjoyed the various cocktails overall as I was able to experience a completely new dimension of pisco and sake. Both possess such commanding flavors in their own right that the mixers offered an entirely new way to enjoy pisco and sake.?Here are my a few of my favorites from the tastings, complete with recipes.
Kappa Pisco Punch
KAPPA Blue Star (think Pisco version of the Cosmo)
2 oz KAPPA Pisco
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
1 egg white
10 blueberries
In a shaker, muddle blueberries with simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice, add KAPPA Pisco and remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously and strain into a small champagne or martini glass.
Bloody Maru?(Mary?s distant cousin)
2 oz premium sake
4 drops Worcestershire sauce
2 drops Tabasco sauce
1 dash horseradish
1 dash lime juice
tomato juice
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
Pour sake, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, horseradish, salt and pepper into a old-fashioned glass half-filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Add tomato juice, to taste. Stir again, and serve.
KAPPA Pisco Punch
KAPPA Pisco Punch?(add Prosecco to the mix and I?m thinking you?ve got a great Mimosa contender)
1 ? oz KAPPA Pisco
? oz Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge
1 oz pineapple juice
? oz fresh orange juice
? oz lime juice
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a wine goblet or rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

Brent crude rises towards $114 after Monday's plunge
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Brent crude rose to near $114 a barrel on Tuesday, after steep losses in the previous session, but gains were limited as investors weighed the impact of the Federal Reserve's stimulus push on oil demand and eyed China's next step to boost its economy.
Brent crude fell more than $5 a barrel late on Monday in a wave of late, high-volume selling that many traders said appeared to have stemmed from an automated computer trading programme. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it was looking into the incident and checking with exchange operators CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange.
Brent crude for November delivery was up 19 cents at $113.98 a barrel by 0450 GMT. Brent, which had settled at $116.66 a barrel on Friday in its seventh straight session of gains, sank on Monday from $115.20 at 1752 GMT to $111.60 three minutes later as trading volumes shot up.
U.S. crude slipped from $98.65 a barrel to below $95 in the same three-minute period. The October contract, which is set to expire on Thursday, was trading 16 cents higher at $96.78 a barrel by 0451 GMT.
The wild price fluctuations were not fundamentally driven, traders said, and were probably triggered by lower-than-normal trading volumes due to a Jewish holiday, a drop in U.S. equities and the euro, and speculation about the possible release of U.S. strategic stocks.
"As far as this being a sell-off that was fundamentally driven...slim chance, I don't see it," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultants Ritterbusch & Associates in Galena, Illinois.
"This was simply a case of a lot of people doing the same thing at the same time, they were feeding off the rumor of an SPR release, and you add that to the other market moves in equities, the euro and you get the perfect storm."
U.S. and European stocks gave back some of last week's huge gains on Monday as investors began to question whether recent action by both the European Central Bank and Federal Reserve would be enough to revive global economic growth.
"To a certain extent there are still a lot of questions about the economy. With every QE (quantitative easing) announced the effect packs less punch especially since we are in a near zero interest rate environment," Ritterbusch said.
"All eyes are on China now to see if the government there will increase their stimulus spending programme."
China's September survey of purchasing managers due out later this week is not expected to show any pick-up in activity, with Goldman Sachs looking for more weakness following August's reading of 47.5.
A Reuters poll showed that China's economy would slow further in the third quarter and regain momentum late in the year, but growth would still be below 8 percent, a level not seen since 1999.
TAPPING US RESERVES
The White House said late on Monday it was still considering a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve but declined to provide more details and made no further announcement after the big dip in crude prices.
Investors suggested that demand remained weak and additional crude was unlikely to find takers.
"Demand is increasing...but that is not the kind of strength that can soak up supply from the market," Ritterbusch said.
Last week the International Energy Agency (IEA) said global oil demand would remain depressed for the next 18 months, with demand globally forecast to grow at a rate of around 0.8 million barrels per day or 0.9 percent in both 2012 and 2013.
Oil remains supported by anti-Western demonstrations over a film mocking Islam's Prophet Mohammad and escalating tensions between the West and Iran over its nuclear programme. The tensions heighten the risk of supply disruptions in the region.
Iran said on Monday that power lines to its most controversial nuclear enrichment plant were blown up a month ago, and accused the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency of having been infiltrated by "terrorists and saboteurs"

?Professional Girlfriends? in Cambodia | Dissertation Reviews
A review of Negotiating Intimacy: Transactional Sex and Relationships Among Cambodian Professional Girlfriends, by Heidi Hoefinger.
Monetized sexual relationships between foreign men and local women in Asia is a topic which has received considerable attention in both public media and academic print. As such Heidi Hoefinger?s thesis on ?professional girlfriends? in Cambodia echoes similar work in the region that emphasise the multifaceted, open-ended and poly-reciprocal nature of sex, materiality and emotion within such relationships. However, Hoefinger provides fresh perspectives as the thesis builds on a heterogeneous body of literature in order to advance her detailed analysis of relationships between young Cambodian women and Western male companions.
The introduction outlines the aim of the book, which is to examine ?the transactional nature of sexual and non-sexual relationships between certain young women in Cambodia described as ?professional girlfriends?, and their ?western boyfriends??(p. 12). ?Professional girlfriends? constitutes a heterogeneous group of young Cambodian women who engage in intimate relationships with foreign men which straddle material and symbolic dimensions of intimacy where money, gifts, and love blend. As Hoefinger explains, it is by ?actively securing multiple transactional partnerships through a performance of intimacy in order to gain material benefits? that they are considered to be acting as professional girlfriends.? (p. 14)
Chapter 1 offers a detailed literature review. Although the broad topic of the blurred boundaries between sex commerce, love, and open-ended relationships between local women and foreign men is not new in the Southeast Asian context, (there is for example an extensive body of literature on Thailand*), Hoefinger?s conceptual frameworks bring fresh insights to this fascinating topic. The thesis draws on various theoretical concepts, ranging from a focus on multiplex identities (the Chicago School of Sociology: Robert Park, Erving Goffman) and theoretical approaches to sexuality and identity (e.g., Alison Murray, Michel Foucault, Annette Hamilton) on the one hand, to analyses of patron-client relationships (e.g., Judy Ledgerwood) and specific literature on gender in Cambodia (e.g., Annuska Derks, Chou Meng Tarr, Trudy Jacobsen) on the other. One of the most interesting parts of the literature review is the ways in which Hoefinger applies a conceptual archaeology where she draws on older sociological literature in order to craft theoretical lenses for her contemporaneous study of Cambodian ?professional girlfriends.? In this context, her discussion of Paul Goalby Cressy?s analysis of taxi dancers in 1930s North America is particularly illuminating and it is intriguing how Hoefinger implicitly argues for historical and transcultural continuities by highlighting these similarities (see Paul Goalby Cressy, The Taxi-Dance Hall: A Sociological Study in Commercialized Recreation and City Life. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2008. Originally published in 1932).
The second chapter provides a detailed discussion of methodology. There are several important aspects to this research. Not only is it based on longitudinal research spanning seven years, but it also includes an eclectic mixture of methods, ranging from surveys to a film project. Hoefinger?s research also involves feminist action-research which includes an e-literacy project with several of her informants. Theoretical and methodological self-reflexivity dominates the chapter. The discussion of epistemic privilege and subject positionality is particularly welcome in this context. The discussion of methodology is followed by a separate chapter (chapter 3) on ethics. (Note: It is rare to see such a detailed and honest account of ethical dilemmas during field research.)
Chapter 4 provides a discussion of the genealogy of her project. Early stages of the research, which stem from the author?s earlier MA work, had been framed within a sex work paradigm. There is an interesting self-critique permeating this chapter as Hoefinger convincingly takes issue with the shortcoming of a conventional ?sex-for-cash prostitution framework,? and explains why it was necessary to re-articulate her analysis ?around the exchange of materiality of everyday sex? (p. 129).
Chapter 5 considers historical legacies of sex commerce and intimate relationships between Khmer women and foreign men. The discussion on prostitution in relation to western imposition and military presence mirror similar trajectories in countries such as neighbouring Thailand. Although the thesis? main focus is not on more sinister aspects of sexual practice, this chapter provides a remarkably detailed discussion of rape, trafficking, and other gender-based forms of violence. The discussion of virginity sale and its sociocultural context is particularly insightful. This chapter also includes a discussion of the ?global girls project,? which was an action research component of Hoefinger?s thesis.
In chapter 6 the reader is offered a detailed discussion of Hoefinger?s informants. Here, Cressey?s work on 1930s taxi dancers in the US is revisited in order to illuminate the similarities with present-day Cambodia. Hoefinger provides an excellent analysis of the trajectory of women?s entry into becoming ?professional girlfriends.? The chapter argues against one-dimensional feminist critiques of young Cambodian women?s positionality in relation to consumption and their relationships with foreign men. Furthermore, Hoefinger offers useful anecdotes of the ways in which these women resist, strategize and ?bite back.?
Chapter 7 brings Hoefinger?s argument most to light through a nuanced discussion of the ways in which meanings of love and intimacy are produced, sustained, and (frequently) fractured. The discussion of how ?proving one?s trust? (such as through not using a condom) as well as some couples attempt at ?going Dutch? (i.e.? where professional girlfriends attempt to reciprocate materially with her foreign partner, such as sharing bills) are insightful.
The conclusions bring the tremendous diversity of perspectives together and emphasise the heterogeneity of the transactional nature in which professional girlfriends engage. As such, an important point for the thesis is to articulate alternative discourses which ameliorate the possibility of further stereotyping these women.
Overall, Hoefinger?s thesis is an engaging analysis with an important topic, with one of its main strengths being the ways in which it marries older theoretical literature with eclectic methodological approaches.
