A recognition theorem for polynomial growth outer automorphisms of the free group
No full textFeighn and Handel’s recognition theorem for Out(F_n) provides invariants that canonically determine any forward rotationless outer automorphism of the free group. We ask to what extent those invariants can be extended to outer automorphisms with some periodic behavior. Many of the same constructions do not have natural analogs, in particular because of the possible lack of principal representatives in this setting. However, by restricting our attention to polynomial growth outer automorphisms and using train track technology, we are able to find a special set of lines in the free group that encode all the dynamical information of these non-forward rotationless maps.Ph.

Pictures of You : Ten Journeys in Time
No full text"The 20th century took history out of the hands of historians and gave it to photographers. in Pictures of You, best-selling author Rory MacLean (Stalin's Nose, Berlin:Imagine a City) draws on the world's largest archive of amateur photography to discover ten real lives, one from each decade of that century. The first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Mao's most timid lover; ten journeys in time, ten forgotten voices that echo down from the past, ten intimate stories that mirror our own." -- p.

MacLean deciding whether an employee of the Department of Homeland Security comes under the protection of the Whistleblower Protection Act when they release potentially sensitive information to the media. Generally, the Act protects whistleblowers unless the information they release is not allowed as specified by law.
