[USA] Report Calls for New Directions, Innovative Approaches in Testing Chemicals for Toxicity to Humans / National Academies, 12 June 2007
http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=11970
"Recent advances in systems biology, testing in cells and tissues, and related scientific fields offer the potential to fundamentally change the way chemicals are tested for risks they may pose to humans. This report outlines a new approach that would rely less heavily on animal studies and instead focus on in vitro methods that evaluate chemicals' effects on biological processes using cells, cell lines, or cellular components, preferably of human origin. The new approach would generate more-relevant data to evaluate risks people face, expand the number of chemicals that could be scrutinised, and reduce the time, money, and animals involved in testing."

War, Torture and Terror: The Role of Psychology [Conference] / Yeshiva University, June 2007
PDF - http://digbig.com/4tcgb
"The war on terrorism has stirred debate on the rights and treatment of those detained under the suspicion of being terrorists, specifically, the use of coercive interrogation techniques, often synonymous with torture. The issue of whether or not psychologists should participate in such investigations has resulted in heated debate within the American Psychological Association. This conference will explore a myriad of complex concerns—sociopolitical, socio-moral and psychological—that currently confront the profession. Among the topics explored will be a contemporary history of torture and its architects, and the efficacy of these methods to produce reliable information. The ethical issues confronting military psychologists and the importance of human rights in all relationships will be examined."

Construing The Construction Processes Of Serial Killers And Other Violent Offenders: 2. The Limits Of Credulity
Journal of Constructivist Psychology, Volume 20, Issue 3 July 2007 , pages 247 - 275
http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a778238371
David A. Winter
"This article presents a categorisation of pathways to violence and homicide, including serial killing, in terms of personal construct theory. Violent offenders' reactions to their offences are considered in relation to the degree of consistency between their actions and their construing of the self and the world. Implications for the assessment and treatment of people who have committed acts of homicide or violence are discussed; and the extent to which it is possible and desirable to adopt a credulous approach with such individuals is explored, including consideration of the truth of offenders' accounts, the therapeutic relationship, and moral relativism."

[USA] Are Social Network Private Messages More Private Than Email Under The Law? / Techdirt, 15 June 2007
http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1181725536838
"It's always interesting to see how courts deal with changing technology. For example, it's pretty common for courts to order emails to be handed over in certain lawsuits as part of the discovery process. However, for many younger people, email has taken a backseat to more popular private messaging features on social networks like MySpace and Facebook. In a recent court case, one side requested access to the private messages in the same manner that they would normally request access to email."
