St. Charles is a charming historic city located on the banks of the Missouri River. Originally a trading outpost for French Canadian fur traders, the city quickly grew into a thriving center of commerce in the 19th century, due in part to its convenient river-front location. Historic attractions are plenty, including many that reference Lewis and Clark, and Daniel Boone, who both have historic ties to the city. Museums include the Lewis & Clark Boathouse and Frenchtown Heritage Museum.

Missouri became a state in 1821, at which point Jefferson was selected as the state capital. While the new capital was under construction, several other cities competed to give legislators a place to temporarily meet. The rapidly growing center of trade, St. Charles, won the competition by offering a rent-free location along the Missouri River. The Federal-style brick building that served as the capital until 1826 had a general store on the first floor, and meeting space on the second. Today, the restored building is open to visitors and filled with period furnishings, examples of the furs being traded in the area at the time, and informational exhibits. The first-floor general store is stoked with examples of 19th century merchandise.

This Singular Slur Should Be Banned in Society, Church
By Ron Rolheiser
He's a loser! You're a loser!
Among all the hurtful slurs we mindlessly utter, this particular one is perhaps the most hurtful and damaging. It needs to be forbidden in our public discourse and stricken from our vocabulary.
We've come a long way today in forbidding certain language in our public discourse. Mostly the terms we outlaw have to do with pejorative phrases that refer to someone's race, gender or disability.
Categorically forbidding them in our language was long overdue and may not be dismissed as simple political correctness.
It's a matter of correctness, plain and simple, of justice, of charity, of fundamental human decency.
Language is an economy that's also often unjust. It unfairly affirms some and unduly slanders others. We need to be careful with it.
Language can deeply scar others, even as it keeps us unconsciously locked inside negative stereotypes that leave our minds and our hearts colored by racism, bigotry and misogyny.
But racial, gender and disability slurs are not the only slurs that cut, wound and scar others.
Terrible as they are, those insulted by them have the consolation of knowing that the insult is aimed at millions (or, in the case of gender, billions) of others. There's consolation in numbers!
Being shamed along with millions or billions of others still hurts, but you're in good company.
There are slurs, however, insults, that are more brutally singular and more cruelly personal, which aim to shame one's particularly private inadequacies.
With such a slur, you're no longer in good company, you're now unanimity-minus-one.
The term "loser" is such a slur. It aims to shame a person in a very singular, hurtful way.
When you're called a "loser," you're not being singled out and shamed because you belong to a certain set, a race, a gender or a class of people.
You're being shamed because you – you alone, singularly, personally – are judged as not measuring up, as not worthy of respect and as not worthy of full acceptance.
You're judged as inferior with an inferiority that cannot be blamed on anyone except yourself. You're deemed a loser! And you're alone in that!
This kind of shaming isn't new. It has ever been thus. Certain people have always been shunned, shamed and ostracized.
We have this curious human flaw that, unless it's addressed, has us believe that for us to be happy it isn't enough that we be accepted, someone else has to be excluded.
In biblical times, people who had leprosy were ostracized from society, condemned to live in regions outside of normal life and cry out "unclean" whenever anyone approached them.
But they had legitimate reasons for putting these persons outside the circle of normal life. Leprosy held the danger of contagion.
Today, without any kind of legitimacy, we're still designating certain people as "lepers," as unfit to flourish inside the circles of normal life.
We classify them as "losers" and condemn them to the fringes. They're the new lepers.
Examples of this abound, but perhaps we see this most simplistically played out in our high schools where there is always a crowd that's popular, an "in" crowd who dictates the ethos, decides what's acceptable and holds down the center of the community, even as they don't constitute its majority.
The majority of students are outside that more exclusive inner circle of popularity, on the edges of it, trying for full acceptance, not fully "in" and not fully "out."
But there's always still another set, the ones seen as "losers," as not measuring up, as not being worthy of full status and recognition.
This group is not given permission to fully belong. Every human circle has that category of persons.
There are a myriad of complex reasons, many to do with mental health, which can help explain why, sometimes, tragically, a high school boy will take up a gun, come into his school and shoot his classmates.
But it's hard not to notice that, almost always, it's a young man who has been deemed a "loner," a loser.
We can't blame his immediate peers and his classmates for deeming him such, however consciously or unconsciously this is done.
His classmates are victims, not just of this young man's illness and rage, but also of a society that blindly helps produce this kind of illness and rage.
I'm not a parent, but if I were, I would try with all the moral powers that I possessed as a parent to have my children purge their vocabulary of racial, gender and disability slurs.
But I would, too, use every moral and persuasive power I had to have them purge their vocabulary of pejorative words that shame someone else in his or her singularity. The word "loser" would be forbidden in the house.
Both society and the church are houses. We have, thank goodness, in recent decades forbidden the use of words that disparage another person on the basis of his or her race, gender or disability.
It's time we forbid some other slurs inside the house!

Reasonable apprehension of bias - Bahonko v Moorfields Community [2011] VSCA 259
The matter of Bahonko v Moorfields Community & Ors [2011] VSCA 259 (Bahonko) was an appeal in the Court of Appeal before Buchanan, Redlich and Mandie JJA. The appeal was from the dismissal of the plaintiff's proceedings in the County Court of Victoria on the basis that the trial judge is disqualified by reason of apprehended bias on the basis of views expressed in a Law Reform Committee submission concerning vexatious litigants.
I have included a case discussion and extracts below.
The trial in the County Court of Victoria was a claim for loss and damage under the Accident Compensation Act 1985 (Vic) for mental and physical injury in the course of employment at a nursing home. The trial judge dismissed the proceeding and said of the plaintiff (quoted at [6]):
I gained the strong impression that she had developed a belief that she was the unhappy victim of an extraordinary and wide-ranging conspiracy by Government, persons in Government, Victorian WorkCover Authority, the Transport Accident Commission, WorkSafe, the defendant and its employees and the solicitors for the defendants and counsel engaged to act for the defendants.
A few days before the commencement of the trial, the trial judge made a submission to the Law Reform Committee concerning vexatious litigants. The trial judge used the proceedings before him in Bahonko as an example of conducting proceedings vexatiously. Extracts of the submission are set out at [13]:
13 His Honour said that the statement of claim drawn by the appellant, 'did not plead a cause of action against the tortfeasor, but was a long and turgid piece of writing ... '. The judge described some of the features of the way in which the appellant prosecuted the litigation, including 'making repeated allegations ... which had no foundation', 'applying for interlocutory relief repeatedly which was almost always absurd', and making 'applications to disqualify judges who this litigant perceived not to be sympathetic to this litigant's cause'. His Honour said 'none of the interlocutory applications [made by the appellant] has had any merit and should not have been made.' His Honour said that the appellant was accorded a degree of courtesy and latitude 'because it was easier to appease this litigant where it was quite apparent that it was impossible to have this litigant understand how to conduct litigation in a conventional way.'
The Court of Appeal set out the principle of apprehended bias at [14] and [15]:
14 The principle of apprehended bias was stated by the Court in Livesey v New South Wales Bar Association as:
That principle is that a judge should not sit to hear a case if in all the circumstances the parties or the public might entertain a reasonable apprehension that he might not bring an impartial unprejudiced mind to the resolution of the question involved in it.
15 In Ebner v Official Trustee in Bankruptcy the Court described the application of the principle of apprehension of bias in the following terms:
Its application requires two steps. First, it requires the identification of what it is said might lead a judge ... to decide a case other than on its legal and factual merits. The second step is no less important. There must be an articulation of the logical connection between the matter and the feared deviation from the course of deciding the case on its merits.
Counsel for the respondent submitted that the submission to the Law Reform Committee did not disclose a prejudgment of the plaintiff's entitlement to compensation. The Court of Appeal noted at [18] that the principle from Ebner was '... a judge is disqualified if a fair minded lay observer might reasonably apprehend that the judge might not bring an impartial mind to the resolution of the question the judge is required to decide. (Emphasis added)'
The Court of Appeal considered that although the trial judge had not expressed any views as to the plaintiff's entitlement to compensation, by reason of his submission to the Law Reform Committee the trial judge had formed views as to the mental condition of the plaintiff and as to matters likely to affect the credibility and accuracy of her evidence. The Court of Appeal considered that the plaintiff's mental state and her credibility were critical issues in the proceeding and the trial judge prejudged the plaintiff's credit and mental condition to her disadvantage. Importantly, the Court of Appeal said at [19] that 'it is stating the principle of apprehended bias too narrowly to say that the possibly of prejudgment applies only to the ultimate conclusion of liability.'
Bahonko demonstrates the breadth of the principle of apprehended bias. A judge does not have to express prejudged views on liability for there to be apprehended bias: if a judge appears to have prejudged issues of credibility or competence in a matter, then this could also disqualify the judge from hearing the matter.

Q: Hanf Numbers and Decidability Currently reading J.L. Bell's Models and Ultraproducts and at the end of Chapter 4 section 4 the authors comment that "In spite of the fact that most languages can easily be shown to possess Hanf numbers, the problem of computing (or even estimating) the Hanf number of a given language is in general very difficult. However, for first order predicate languages the calculation is simple."
Can someone tell me whether the problem of computing the Hanf number for a given first-order language is a decidable problem? A given second order language? And can someone give me a source on this? I grant I haven't been able to get a hold of Hanf's paper.
Thanks!

A: It's not clear how to phrase "compute the Hanf number" as a problem for which decidability makes sense. The Hanf number problem takes in a logic, and outputs a cardinal; decidability, or computability, makes sense in the context of natural numbers.
In certain cases, the Hanf number is completely understood. For example, for a first-order language $L$, the Hanf number is $\aleph_0$.
In other cases, basic properties of the Hanf number can be independent of ZFC. For instance, ZFC proves that the Hanf number of second-order logic - more generally, any set-sized logic at all - exists; however, it also proves that if a measurable cardinal exists, then the Hanf number of second-order logic is at least the least measurable cardinal. Since the existence of measurables is independent of ZFC, this means the question "Is the Hanf number of second-order logic $\ge$ a measurable cardinal?" is independent of ZFC.
This approach - via questions about Hanf numbers, rather than Hanf numbers themselves - is one for which (un)decidability makes sense. We could ask, "How complicated is the set of theorems about the Hanf number?" However, by virtue of the complexity of ZFC alone this would be bumped up to halting problem, regardless of the logic in question. So this isn't the way to go.
Although Hanf numbers are a topic for which independence makes sense, I don't think computability-theoretic issues fit; one could try looking at higher recursion theory, e.g. $E$-recursion, but even that doesn't seem promising.
