Resignation and outrage colour veteran journalist Mary-Ann Barr's voice as she reflects on the Red Deer Advocate and its coverage of the recent Alberta provincial election. "There was a brief in the paper yesterday about who the candidates are—buried on page four," says the former editor and reporter who spent thirty-one years at what is now Red Deer's last remaining local newspaper. Black Press Media, which owns almost a 100 papers in western Canada, announced last month it could no longer afford two competing titles in the same city and shut down the weekly Red Deer Express. ; Lindgren, A.

Consolidation of the defense industrial base has led to concerns about whether enough competition exists between remaining firms to maintain needed cost reduction and innovation. We examine competition in the U.S. defense industrial base by performing an in‐depth case study of Lockheed Martin and the F‐22 program that considers multiple tiers of the industrial base. We find that defense firm specialization has led to outsourcing practices and arguably a more robust U.S. defense industrial base. Implications for government policy are identified.

The League of Women Voters of Texas is a non-partisan organization that works to promote political responsibility through active informed participation of all citizens in their government. In 1919, the Texas Equal Suffrage Association evolved into the Texas League of Women Voters, and today is recognized as the League of Women Voters of Texas. Their hallmark activity is the circulation of Voters' Guides through newspapers prior to elections; locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The League's intent is dissemination of information on political candidates, and the objective promotion of "political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government." The organization's efforts, however, are by no means limited to politics, but also address issues on water, health care, hazardous wastes, education, energy, and such international concerns as the United Nations. ; The records of the League of Women Voters of Texas also reflect socio-economic changes in the United States with the active organizational membership drives of the mid to late 1970s in response to American society's evolution into a two income family. Collectively, the materials provide researchers with invaluable insight into politics and political concerns on an international, national, statewide, and local basis. ; The collection consists of materials from national, state, and local files, financial materials, photographs, and publications of the National, Texas, and local leagues, as well as other state leagues. Also included are a study of the national league, scrapbooks, memorabilia, vice-presidential program files, and printed materials. The focus of the collection is on state committees and local units. ; Highlights from the donation include the original 1919 minutes from the Texas Equal Suffrage Association authorizing the organizational conversion to the Texas League of Women Voters, films produced by the group on legislative processes, the 104th Congressional recognition given and signed by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on the 75th anniversary of the League of Women Voters of Texas, and the flag that flew over the Texas capitol on that day. ; Box 12, Folder 22

Resumo Neste artigo, partimos das lições de Foucault acerca da arte de governar como uma multiplicidade de formas de gerenciamento de si, do outro, dos bens, do estado ou de outros fenômenos, para compreendermos como ocorre o governo de si e do outro a partir da participação de Lin da Quebrada no BBB 22. O objetivo é analisar o modo de enunciar a travestilidade e a representatividade e as condições de emergência desse discurso. A discussão será empreendida com base nos estudos discursivos foucaultianos (Foucault, 1999a, 1999b, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2013a, 2013b, 2013c) e nos estudos de gênero e sexualidade (Louro, 2001; Butler, 2000). A metodologia utilizada é a análise enunciativa de Foucault (2008). Concluímos que o governo de si e do outro é empreendido no BBB 22 por intermédio de práticas discursivas que se inserem na ordem do discurso da travestilidade e da representatividade.

What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biology---especially in Darwinian theories of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism? In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one's kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral concern. Drawing on philosophy and evolutionary psychology, he demonstrates that human ethics cannot be explained by biology alone. Rather, it is our capacity for reasoning that makes moral progress possible. In a new afterword, Singer takes stock of his argument in light or recent research on the evolution of morality.--Publisher's description
