HerMES\nis made up of more than a hundred astronomers hailing from six\ncountries. Besides Marsden, the\nUBC team includes several other researchers and professors from the\nAstronomy Department: professors\nDouglas Scott and Mark Halpern, as\nwell as post-doctorate fellows Don\nWiebe, Elisabetta Valiante and Ed\nChapin.\nStars that are just\nbeing formed are\nessentially collapsing clouds of dust.\nGAELEN MARSDEN,\nRESEARCHER, UBC'S EXPERIMENTAL\nCOSMOLOGY LAB\nThe team used data from the\nHerschel Space telescope to construct these images. Launched in\nMay 2009, Herschel is the world's\n'largest and most expensive space\ntelescope,\" according to the release.\nThe image of deep space from 12 billion years ago that shows early galaxy formation. The SPIRE camera has three\narrays that operate at different wavelengths. The image taken from these wavelengths is rendered in red, green or blue\nand combined to form a single image, seen here, photo courtesy of gaelen marsden\nIt differs from its more famous\ncousin, the Hubble, in that it contains infrared instead of optical\ncameras. One of these cameras,\ncalled SPIRE, was key in constructing these images. SPIRE is a sub-\nmillimetre telescope that is capable\nof picking up \"warm\" objects in\nspace. The team's research was\npresented in December at the first\nInternational Herschel Science\nMeeting in Madrid, Spain.\n\"It is sensitive to objects that are\nglowing, objects that are about 50\nKelvin,\" said Marsden, adding that\na \"warm\" object in space is around\nminus 220 degrees Celsius.\nThe sub-millimetre\ntelescope s images\nresemble \"fuzzy\nblots.\"\n\"Stars that are just being\nformed are essentially collapsing clouds of dust. If you point\nan optical telescope at a star that\nis just being formed, you won't\nsee it because it has all this dust\naround it. With a sub-millimetre\ntelescope, it glows. What you\nsee are very young stars that\nyou would not see with an\noptical telescope.\"\nThe images produced by an optical telescope are a far higher resolution, though the sub-millimetre\ntelescope's images resemble \"fuzzy\nblots.\" The UBC team was in charge\nof converting large scans of the sky\ninto actual images.\nAccording to Marsden, the discovery doesn't change what we\nknow about the formation of the\nuniverse.\n\"So far, [the findings] sort of fit\ninto the picture we already imagined. It's filling in the details of how\ngalaxies first formed.\" va\nReferenda galore!\nr\nOn Wednesday afternoon, Arts Councilor Matthew Naylor attempted to gather\n1000 signatures in order to put a whopping six referendum questions on the ballot for this year's AMS elections.\n1000 signatures are necessary for\nreceiving awareness funding for your\nreferenda. However, after gathering only\n750 signatures, Naylor opted to bring the\nquestions to AMS Council for approval,\nwhich would also allow him funding.\nThree questions were approved: the removal of AMS President Blake Frederick\nfrom office, the removal of VP External\nTim Chu, and the creation of a $5 engagement levy for students wishing to vote in\nelections. A question regarding the return\nof slates (which were de facto political\nparties that were outlawed four years\nago) must wait for 1000 signatures in\norder to be put on the ballot. The other\ntwo questions were still being debated at\nAMS Council by press time.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Samantha Jung\nGERALD DEO PH0T0S/THE UBYSSEY\nNeuroscience\nand beer\nCOURTESY OF STAN FLORESCO\nASHLEY WHILLANS\nawhillans@ubyssey.ca\nDr Stan Floresco knows how to have\na good time. As a professor of Neuroscience and the principle investigator at the Neurocircuits and Cognition Psychology Laboratory at UBC,\nthe lab on campus that he claims\nhas the most fun and arguably the\nhighest number of endorphins, Ho-\nresco lives by the motto, \"Work hard,\nplay hard.\"\nWorking at the Pit Pub during\nhis undergraduate degree, Floresco\nalways made it a point to enjoy himself, and the party didn't stop after\ngraduation. Earning a PhD from\nUBC and becoming an assistant\nprofessor in 2003, Floresco continues to share his good-natured and\nfun-loving spirit with students and\nstaff.\n\"In school, I had fun. There were\ncrap days, but ultimately I had a\ngood time and I try to make sure\n[students] have some too. I'm not\nlike Michael Scott from The Office\nor anything, but I like to let students\nknow that I'm there to support\nthem and that it is possible to have\nfun at work,\" he said.\nKnown for his humorous and\nentertaining lectures, Floresco\nattempts to instill his passion for\nneuroscience\u00E2\u0080\u0094the study of how the\nbrain and chemicals in the brain\naffect behaviour\u00E2\u0080\u0094through laughter\nand story-telling.\n\"When I lecture I like to have\nfun.

GERALD DEO PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/THEUBYSSEY\nUBC study explains differences\namong types of homicide\nBut RCMP says each case is different\nNICOLE GALL\nngall@ubyssey.ca\nA new study from UBC Okanagan\n(UBC-O) has found differences in\ntypes of victims, motive, and methods between different types of homicides, in what researchers hope can\ncontribute to preventing crime.\nThe study Partners in Crime: A\nComparison of Individual and Multi-\nPerpetrator Homicides, examined\nthe records of 124 homicides.\nIt suggests that individual and\nmulti-perpetrator homicides have\ndistinctive characteristics, and\ncan even be differentiated during\ninvestigations.\nHomicides committed by one\nperson tended to involve older\noffenders, female victims, \"hands-\non\" strangulation or stabbing, and\nmotives were reactive, sexual or\nsadistic. However, multi-perpetrator homicides (those committed\nby two or more people) tended to\ninvolve younger offenders, male\nvictims, the use of firearms and\ninstrumental motives, meaning\nthe crime was committed for the\npurpose of monetary gain.\nThe team of researchers finished their data analysis in 2008.\nThey published their findings on\nwhat crime scenes can reveal about\nthe nature of perpetrators and the\nlikelihood that a homicide involved\nmultiple perpetrators in the psychology journal Criminal Justice &\nBehavior.\nAccording to Michael Wood-\nworth, associate professor of psychology at UBC-O and co-author\nof the study the findings offer\npractical applications for crime\ninvestigators.\n\"We can learn more about\nwhat's motivating people to commit [homicides] in the first place,\"\nsaid Woodworth. \"Considering the\ndynamics between independent or\nmultiple perpetrators, we think that\nthere's all sorts of implications for\ninvestigation purposes, prevention\npurposes, and unfortunately if one\nof these events does occur, for treatment purposes.\"\nSince publishing Partners in\nCrime, Woodworth has worked\nalongside University of Saskatchewan clinical psychology PhD\ncandidate Ava Agar to compare\nfindings on the nature of adult male\nperpetrators to the nature of youth\nperpetrated homicides.\n\"We got access to a large data\nset of youth-committed homicides\nto compare with our adult results,\"\nWoodworth said. \"It's the first in-\ndepth empirical scientific study we\nknow of anywhere on the planet\nthat's gone to this degree to look at\nthe characteristics and motivations\nof youth homicide.\"\nAccording to Woodworth, their\nresearch into youth-committed homicides, which is being submitted\nEach case is\nspecific to itself.\nWe're not going\nto go down a\npath where the\nevidence is not\ndirectly leading us\nat all. We're led by\nevidence and that's\nhow we get started.\nCORPORAL DALECARR\nHOMICIDE INVESTIGATION TEAM\nto academic journals for publishing, produced surprising results.\n\"With the adults we found that\nabout 33 per cent of the homicides\nwere multiple perpetrated homicides, so there were two or more\nperpetrated involved,\" he said, adding that sixty-seven per cent of the\nyouth homicides were actually committed in groups. Their research\nalso found that around 70 per cent\nof youth perpetrated homicides had\nan instrumental motive.\nWoodworth added that his\nand Agar's research into youth-\ncommitted homicides may offer\ncrime investigators information\non the nature of perpetrators and\nprovide a piece to solve the investigative puzzle.\n\"All these different things, you\nstart putting them together in\nterms of the amount of multiple\nperpetrator homicides that youth\nare committing, what the motivations might be, the dynamics, the\ntype of victim,\" said Woodworth.\n\"We're really happy with how we\nthink this might contribute to investigative strategies, as well as\nunderstanding more about what\nmight motivate some of these\nyouth, and to hopefully get to\nthem before they commit one of\nthese serious acts.\"\nBut RCMP Corporal Dale Carr,\nspeaking for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, was\nhesitant to focus on the nature\nof perpetrators as opposed to the\nevidence of each particular homicide investigation.\n\"Each case is specific to itself,\"\nsaid Carr. \"We're not going to go\ndown a path where the evidence is\nnot directly leading us at all. We're\nled by evidence and that's how we\nget started.\"\nAccording to Carr, a typical\nRCMP homicide investigation focuses on the evidence at the crime\nscene and information that can be\nlearned about the victim, and pursues leads until a suspect comes\ninto the picture.\n\"The first questions we generally\nask are who would want to do this\nto [the deceased], and then we start\nto learn more about the deceased\nto see where that can lead us,\"\nCarr said. \"If we find out that [the\ndeceased] has been a long-term\ndrug dealer then we need to look in\nthe area of the drug field, find out\nwho they hang out with and start\ntalking to those individuals. We talk\nto people, and what other people\ntell us, which is evidence, starts to\ndirect us.\n\"It's not a case of sitting around\ntrying to sort out what kind of individual would want to do this to [the\ndeceased] and trying to create a\nprofile on that individual.\" U 6/UBYSSEY.CA/CULTURE/2010.01.07\nCENTRE FOR MILITARY\nAND STRATEGIC STUDIES\nUNIVEKSrTY OF\nCALGARY\nWHY CHOOSE THE CENTRE FOR MILITARY\nAND STRATEGIC STUDIES?\nLeading, world-renowned experts\nFlexible program framework\nEngaging, relevant courses and innovative research1\nGenerous funding opportunities\nNumerous events and conferences open to participation\nnternational networking opportunities\nTeam that truly cares about the students\nContact us today\nCentre for Military and Strategic Studies\nMacKimmie Library Tower 701 - 2500 University Drive\nCalgary, Alberta T2N 1N4\n403-220-4038\ncrnss@ucalgary.ca\nwww.cmss.ucalgary.ca\nApplication Deadline: February 15, 2010\nTeach English\nAbroad\nTESOL/TESL Teacher Training\nCertification Courses\n* Intensive 60-Hour Program\n* Classroom Management Techniques\n* Detailed Lesson Planning\n* ESL Skills Development\n* Comprehensive Teaching Materials\n* Interactive Teaching Practicum\n* Internationally Recognized Certificate\n* Teacher Placement Service\n* Money-Back Guarantee Included\n* Thousands of Satisfied Students\nOXFORD SEMINARS\n604-683-3430/1-800-269-6719\nwww.oxfoidseminars.ca\nUBC Campus Map Jbr iPhone\nNow Available @ iTuues\nJust $0.99 helps you or others.\nAnybody is able to\nwork for The\nUbyssey and weZe\nalways looking for\nnew talent to join\nour team.\nContact us at\nfeed back\u00C2\u00AE ubyssey.ca 2010.01.07/UBYSSEY.CA/IDEAS/7\nID\nEAS\nYOU SAID IT\nIn response to UBC to test revolutionary method of treating MS:\nIt's great that you are covering the research incidence rate in the MS and non-MS popula- not in response to anythingfrom the MS Soci-\ninto this new way of looking at multiple scle- tions remain unknown.

Despite the former professor and journalist's impressive intellect, we can't help thinking it won't be so much a conversation as a collection\nof talking points and liberal platitudes. Then again, he'd probably prefer to be\nin Parliament right now too\u00E2\u0080\u0094but that won't be happening for quite some time.\nThat's because late last month, the Harper government prorogued parliament, shutting down the legislative branch for two months during its busiest\ntime of year because...um...you've got us there. It would be nice to give a balanced, neutral reason why parliament is shut down. The truth is that Harper\nwanted to put an end to annoying questions about Afghan detainee abuses\nand gain control of the Senate, and this was the best way to do that. Wouldn't\nit be nice if you could get a two-month extension on your papers until conditions were better for you to do well?\nThis is bad for our political culture. It says parliament doesn't matter. If\na government can shut down committees and bill-passing for two months,\nwhy not make it three or four? If a government can prorogue twice in a\n12-month time span, why not do it every month?\nMoreover, proroguing doesn't put a pause on parliament in the same way\na summer break does\u00E2\u0080\u0094it rewinds the tape, killing all non-private members'\nbills, all committee work and putting thousands of hours and millions of\ndollars of legislative affairs to waste.\nWhatever your thoughts are on Ignatieff or his policies, it will be amusing\nto see him answer questions in the Norm and down a drink at MahoneVs.\nAll things considered though, we'd rather see him in Ottawa on C-SPAN. \3\nWE'LL ALL FLY NAKED, CHAINED TO OUR SEAT\nMerry Christmas, frequent fliers! Flying is more right-depriving than ever\nnow, thanks to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to detonate a bomb\nhidden in his underwear on Christmas Day. But are we any safer?\nAirports across Canada and the USA have begun to conduct invasive\nsearches for bombs hidden underneath clothing. They've also begun to target\nindividuals from a list of 14 countries deemed \"state sponsors of terrorism.\"\nThese new security measures are merely soothers, pacifying the frazzled\nnerves of paranoid consumers who see death signs in eveiything. Or, if\nyou're less generous, they perpetuate a culture of fear, the price of which is\nrights violations, complacency and massive inconvenience. Mr Abdulmutal-\nlab proves that these expensive gestures are just that\u00E2\u0080\u0094gestures.\nThe new security measures at airports may be put in place to lessen the\nlikelihood of terrorist attacks, but at best it's making people feel that they're\na bit safer for hundreds of millions of dollars. At worst it inconveniences\npassengers and violates personal rights.\nToday, the Canadian government is installing full-body scanners in some\nairports, including YVR. According to CTV, the scanners, which are already\nin place in many American airports, show detailed images of passengers,\nincluding surgical implants, genitals and cosmetic enhancements. This scanner itself grossly violates our privacy.\nEveryone acknowledges the need to make flights are safe and secure. But\nall too often, airport security does nothing except create layers and layers of\nbureaucracy and hassle for customers, while still leaving plenty of loopholes\nfor potential terrorists. And that's never going to change, no matter how\nmany people we racially profile or strip-search.\nWhat can change is what we as citizens expect and demand in our concept\nof airline safety. Putting up more walls does nothing if you don't watch the\ngates. If we have to have new and improved security measures, why not emphasize consciousness, awareness and vigilance rather than invasiveness?\nWhy not take these measures to their logical end? We all fly naked and\nchained to our seats, spend a day in containment before flying, take drug\ntests and do full-body scans? At least then we'd know where we stand, vl\nTOO SEXY\nAUSTIN HOLM\n& KASHA CHANG\ntoosexy@ubyssey.ca\nDearest Readership,\nHow long has it been since we last\ntalked? Days? Months? Years?

After all, we didn't call or\nwrite you during the holidays. We\nwere too busy going on trips to\nTurkey and passing out in semi-\nfrozen gutters.\nWhat's that you say? While distracted by world travel and near-\ndeath experiences, we missed a\nletter from you? Nonsense! That\ncould never hap... ah.\nAhem...\nWithout further ado, this\nweek's letter:\nDear Too Sexy,\nThere's this guy I've been dating for about four months and\nthings have been pretty good\nexcept for one little thing. About\ntwo months ago, things got a\nlittle out of hand moved a little\nfaster and farther than I would\nhave liked. We talked about it\nand he agreed that we would\nslow things down. In the two\nmonths since then, he's acted\nlike a total gentleman and now\nI feel comfortable enough with\nhim to turn things up a bit. The\nthing is, I don't want to seem\nlike some crazy girl who doesn't\nknow what she wants. How can I\nget things speeding along again\nwithout seeming... demanding?\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Feels A Sudden Thirst\nHello FAST,\nWe've got some good news and\nsome bad news for you. The\ngood news is that your lad has\nprobably been chomping at the\nbit to get the back in the race. As\nlong as you don't present your\nrenewed interest as an ultimatum threatening the destruction\nof the boy and his kin if he does\nnot comply, we find it unlikely\nthat he will feel like you are\nmaking unreasonable demands\nhere. Not knowing what you\nmean by \"a little out of hand,\" we\ncan't say much for sure, but we\nassume that if he was into it the\nfirst time, he'll be alright with a\nsecond helping.\nThe bad news is that most\ninsidious of social ills: inertia.\nHuman behaviour is prone to\nsettling into patterns. Even if you\nand your boy both want to switch\ngears, you might have trouble\njostling the stick shift if you've\nbeen driving automatic for the\nlast two months. When we act in\ncertain ways without any overt\nnegative repercussions (or even\njust repercussions we feel we\ncan bear) we're inclined to continue that behaviour in order to\nreinforce the security of our daily\nlives\u00E2\u0080\u0094even when the outcome\nisn't positive.\nSo, FAST, what's a girl to do? Although you may be inclined to try\nto change things slowly in order\nto be subtle about your change of\nheart (and not seem like a \"crazy\ngirl\"), we're inclined to tell you\nnot to. After all, sex and relationships should never be about hiding things, but rather about being\nopen. Don't hide your intentions;\ncelebrate them.\nEven if you and\nyour boy both\nwant to switch\ngears, you might\nhave trouble jos-\ntiing the stick\nshift if you ve been\ndriving automatic\nfor the last two\nmonths.\nYou might as well start the new\nyear off with a bang.

But\nthis will soon change.\nThe Thunderbirds are scheduled\nto hold a press conference on January 19 or 20 to announce the hiring\nof a head coach that they hope will,\nin the words of Associate Athletic\nDirector Theresa Hanson, \"turn the\nprogram around.\" With only one\nplayoff win this decade, and three\nconsecutive losing seasons, the task\nmight be harder than eliminating\nUBC's $25 million deficit. Changing the culture, engaging alumni\nand recruiting new players all takes\ntime.\n\"Any prospective coach that\ntakes a look at the campus, and the\nfacilities UBC has...will realize that\nthis will take at least three years,\"\nsaid Jim Mullin, CKNW Sports Director. \"The UBC football program\nhas a great brand, and it's got a\ngood engine block, but the cylinders\nare flooded right now.\"\nIt's a common charge\u00E2\u0080\u0094minus\nthe metaphors\u00E2\u0080\u0094levied at the Thunderbirds program, and it's one that\nAthletics seems to understand has\nat least a kernel of truth to it.\n\"We realize that we need a successful program, not just a team.\nAnd there's a difference,\" said\nHanson.\n\"It takes time to build this up,\nand we're looking at this in a three-,\nfive-year time period, and we're\nprepared to give the new coach\nthat amount of time,\" she continued\u00E2\u0080\u0094though skeptics will note that\nThe Thunderbird players will find out soon who the new football head coach will be. ANTHONYGOERTZGRAPHIC/THEUBYSSEY\nthe last three UBC football coaches\nwere all fired after four years on the\njob.\nBut enough with the small talk.\nWho is going to be the new head\ncoach?\nWell, it depends on who you\ntalk to\u00E2\u0080\u0094and with it being the most\nbuzzed-about question so far during the CIS offseason, there's plenty\nof people to talk to. Athletics has\nreceived applications from around\n25 different candidates from across\nthe country. But the three most\ntalked about candidates are all currently coaching for UBC or SFU.\nTheir names?\nDINO GEREMIA\nThe interim head coach, Geremia was the defensive coordinator\nfor UBC under Goveia. He's very\nwell-liked by players, has been a\nsteady hand as interim coach, and\nwouldn't rock the boat.\nHowever, UBC had the worst defence in the league lastyear (though\nthat was partly due to injuries), and\nif the T-Birds are really going to\nchange their culture, it would reason that they need to have a coach\nwho isn't connected with the previous program.\nSHAWN OLSON\nCalled \"a leading candidate for\nthe position\" by The Province's\nHoward Tsumura after Goveia was\nfired, 12 years ago Olson was UBC's\nstar quarterback as the T-Birds won\nthe 1997 Vanier Cup.\nAfter a number of years playing\nand coaching in Europe, he returned to the Lower Mainland three\nyears ago to be offensive coordinator at SFU. He has head coaching\nexperience, alumni support, and if\nyou had to pick a safe choice to get\nthe job, it's probably him.\nDAVE JOHNSON\nThe current head coach at SFU,\nformer head coach at UBC, and\nlongtime favourite of Athletic Director Bob Philip, Johnson led SFU\nto the Canada West finals in 2008\nafter two straight winless seasons,\nwhich is nothing to sneeze at. However, it's unclear whether he's quietly applied for the job. Rumours\nhave circulated for weeks on the\ninternet\u00E2\u0080\u0094which, as we all know, is\nthe source of absolute trufhiness\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthat Johnson is a shoe-in for the job,\nwhile others have claimed that he's\nalready signed a new five-year contract with the Clan.\nSFU has declined to directly\ncomment, but have said that they\n\"don't foresee a head coaching\nchange at SFU.\" Whatever the case,\nJohnson is definitely the wild card\nright now.\nOf course, with the dozens of\nnames floating out there, a surprise\ncandidate could be chosen by the\nselection committee, comprised\nof Hanson, Athletic Director Bob\nPhilip, a current player, and three\nalumni (including Doug Mitchell,\nnamesake ofthe UBC Winter Sports\nCentre).\nIn less than two weeks, they'll be\nchoosing who will be the next coach\nto try and bring UBC back to success in the most popular university\nsport in Canada, and the one sport\nthat UBC has struggled at this past\ndecade.\n\"We know it will take a lot of\nwork over many years, but we feel\nthis program can return to prominence,\" said Hanson, vl\nWEEKEND PREVIEW\nCAN THE MEN STOP THE\nBLEEDING?\nVOLLEYBALL | The men's volleyball\nteam looks to turn around what\nhas been a dismal season this\nweekend, as they travel to Saskatchewan to face the Regina\nRams in a two-game series.\nThe T-Birds are 1-7, while the\nRams are 0-8.
