Hello Brenda, Alex and Anne,<br><br>
I am getting overwhelmed with emails about so many announcements,
symposiums, conferences, news releases etc not only from UW depts but
from outside universities and agencies. It is becoming quite
time-consuming to even scan all these messages. Is there not
another way to reduce all these emails? I don't have time to read
all these or even pass them on and I'm sure many others would
agree. Is there a way to streamline the volume of all these
announcements and emails?<br><br>
Thanks<br>
Nancy Birss<br>

<br>
The Department of Communication Studies, with the co-sponsorship of the
<br>
Department of Political Science and the Office of the Dean of Arts, is
proud <br>
to host Dr. Steven F. Freeman on Tuesday, September 18. Dr. Freeman will
be <br>
presenting a talk, titled "Subverting Democracy: Stolen Elections in
the <br>
American Empire," from 4pm to 6pm in Arts Wing 1E1. Come hear
the leading <br>
researcher into US electoral fraud discuss the evidence that the 2004
<br>
presidential election was stolen and the evidence of Canadian complicity
in <br>
electoral fraud in Iraq, Mexico and Haiti. Please forward the attached
flyer <br>
to anyone who may be interested.<br><br>
Steven F. Freeman is Visiting Scholar and Affiliated Faculty in the
Center <br>
for Organizational Dynamics, University of Pennsylvania. Since 1998, he
has <br>
been Professor of Management at INCAE (Central American Institute of
<br>
Business Administration), Alajuela, Costa Rica, an international MBA
program <br>
established by Harvard University. During 2002, he was Karel Steuer
Chaired <br>
Professor in Entrepreneurship at Universidad de San Andreas, Buenos
Aires, <br>
Argentina. He is co-author with Joel Bleifuss of Was The 2004
Presidential <br>
Election Stolen? Joel Bleifuss is the editor of In These Times, where he
has <br>
worked as an investigative reporter, columnist and editor since 1986.
<br>
Bleifuss has had more stories on Project Censored's annual list of the
"10 <br>
Most Censored Stories" than any other journalist.<br><br>
Freeman's research on the discrepancies between exit polls and vote
counts <br>
has already earned him some high-profile speaking engagements,
including:<br><br>
"Are We a Democracy? Vote Counting in the United States."
American <br>
Association for the Advancement of Science, San Francisco, Feb.
2007.<br><br>
"The Failure to Report Evidence of Corrupted Vote Counts in US
Elections." <br>
Free Press National Media Reform Conference, Memphis, January
2007.<br><br>
"Black Disenfranchisement in Contemporary US Elections."
Congressional Black <br>
Caucus Annual Legislative Conference, Washington DC, Sept. 2006.<br><br>
"Polling Bias or Corrupted Count?" American Statistical
Association, <br>
Philadelphia, Oct. 2005.<br>
<br>
Freeman was invited to the ASA conference in Philadelphia to debate with
<br>
Warren Mitofsky, who is probably the most highly regarded practitioner of
<br>
exit polling in the US (he did the 2004 US exit polls, and has done exit
<br>
polling for presidential elections in the US for more than thirty years,
as <br>
well as exit polls for national elections in Russia, Mexico, and half a
<br>
dozen other countries); by common consent Freeman triumphed in that
debate.<br><br>
