"Where all is gold, and steel, and gems, and light" is a quote from Charles Baudelaire's poem, Sonnet XXVIII. Using this quote as a starting point, fine arts students created works inspired by the California City, CA landscape dealing with Baudelaire's ideas of duality and romanticism. The city itself is a failed attempt to become a new Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert, developed by sociology professor, Nat Mendelsohn. Consisting of unoccupied empty suburban lots and abandoned buildings, the uninhabited street plan that was once Mendelsohn's American dream has become an abstract geoglyph. As a group of artists, they were inspired by the urban and natural landscape as well as the phenomenological experience of travelling and exploring together. They approached the land with an eye for not just beauty, but a decadent, romantic quietness that is often overlooked and underappreciated.The exhibition design is reminiscent of the viewing experience from the inside of the car. By changing the viewing level to correspond to one's eye level while sitting down, the viewer becomes more aware of the gallery space and is asked to spend more time contemplating the work. The space now serves as a container in which the works represents the fragments from the desert landscape.
Where all is gold, and steel, and gems, and light features new works by Ji Sun Kim, Christian Alvarez, Daniel Palacios, Ming Yan Gu, Kevin Colin, Grace Eunchong Lee, Amara Avila, and Tyler Syphers.

NEC takes heart in LCD prototype
It's kind of curious that a company would send out a press release just to announce the new shape of an LCD, but that's exactly what NEC has done. And not just any shape, mind you, but a heart--and Valentine's Day is 9 months away.
It's actually being touted as another way that LCDs can be configured and used, as Engadget observes, not unlike the circular version we saw last fall. These prototypes are being showcased to exemplify the versatility of the technology, as flexible TFT displays find uses beyond traditional rectangular screens.

BP Disaster Survivors Removed From Federal Courtroom during Fairness Hearing
Three BP oil disaster survivors and community advocates were forcibly removed from the fairness hearing on the BP class-action settlement yesterday, moments before the federal court heard objections to how that settlement would compensate people made sick by the disaster. The fairness hearing allowed U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to hear arguments from those who negotiated the deal, as well as those with objections to the class action, before the settlement is accepted or rejected.
UPDATE 2/23/14: The images in this post have been altered to conceal the identity of two people in the photograph, per their requests for privacy.
Louisiana residents Cherri Foytlin, Kindra Arnesen, and Michelle Chauncey were asked by Judge Barbier to leave for allegedly "live streaming audio" of the hearings, and were escorted out by U.S. Marshals. The women were quietly listening to the proceedings and say they had no intention of interrupting, and don't even know how to "live stream". They believe they were unjustly targeted because they have been speaking out for their families and their communities.
"It's ironic – this is exactly the place where objections are meant to be heard and instead, we have four Louisiana residents forcibly removed because the court felt threatened that they might speak out," says Bryan Parras of Houston, Texas - an environmental justice expert and Managing Advisor with the Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health.
Objections to the Medical Damages in the Settlement
The fairness hearing is the final step before Judge Barbier decides whether to grant final approval of the class-action settlement reached between BP and the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee (PSC). The settlement covers economic and medical damages to individuals and businesses harmed by the BP oil spill, and BP estimates it will cost roughly $7.8 billion. Barbier is expected to grant final approval of the settlement in the next few days.
After the women were removed, the court heard objections to the medical component of settlement. Attorney Robert McKee argued that the narrow range of ailments that would be compensated by the settlement - eye, nasal, respiratory, and skin problems that appeared within 24 to 72 hours of exposure to oil - will leave out thousands of people who have become seriously ill from the disaster, including those with liver, kidney, and chromosomal damage. (Dr. Mike Robichaux, a Louisiana physician who has treated over 100 people with illnesses he attributes to the BP oil disaster, issued a similar statement earlier this week, saying, "If the BP-PSC agreement is accepted, the very serious illnesses being suffered by a large number of victims will be trivialized and these patients may lose standings in their lawsuits because of this flawed decision.")
Judge Barbier responded to McKee that people with more serious ailments could opt-out of the settlement and pursue their own litigation.
Next, Attorney Jason Melancon objected to the settlement on behalf of this clients, low-income and mostly non-English speaking Hispanic men and women who were bussed into Louisiana to work on the clean up. He argued that these workers will face practical problems in getting fair compensation because they cannot afford to go to a doctor and get the tests needed to document their illnesses. The medical settlement uses a matrix (download) in which monetary awards are based on both the types of ailments and the level of proof the claimant provides. Melancon argued that his clients would only be eligible for the lowest amount for clean-up workers, $1,300, a lump sum that would not be enough to cover their much-needed ongoing health care.
Around the time Melancon delivered his objection inside the federal courtroom, Kindra Arnesen shared a similar concern from the street outside. The settlement would likely allow her and her husband to receive damages as former clean-up workers, but she worries her sick children will be excluded. "Pediatricians treat them for everything but chemical exposure. Without the acknowledgement of physicians, there's nothing you can do," she said.
Arnesen began to cry as she continued, "I'm sitting there watching these kids get sick - antibiotics, steroid shots, scrubbing blood out of pillow cases after slumber parties because they are waking up with nose bleeds. They've done zero for these kids; they've done zero for these families… And I'm not allowed to sit quietly in a courtroom?"
Targeting the Directly-Impacted
Arnesen and Chauncey are plaintiffs in the class action, and Foytlin has been directly impacted by the BP disaster as well.
Michelle Chauncey sold crabs in Westwego, Louisiana until the BP disaster put her out of business, and now works with a number of fishery groups. One of those groups, the Gulf Organized Fisheries in Solidarity and Hope (GO FISH) coalition, offered objections to the settlement at the hearing.
"I was unfairly denied my right to be in a courtroom that holds my life in its hands," Chauncey reflected, "while all the lawyers who are there just to make more money got to stay."
Arnesen, also a member of GO FISH, lives in Buras, Louisiana, a fishing community rocked by the disaster and its economic, health, and environmental fall-out. Her husband is a fisherman, and both of them have developed chronic health problems after working to clean up the disaster.
Cherri Foytlin, of Rayne, Louisiana, is a journalist who became sick after reporting on the BP disaster for her local newspaper. Foytlin's husband, an oil worker, was out of work during the moratorium on drilling that followed the spill. ( Foytlin and Arnesen are both Bridge The Gulf contributors as well).
Through their own eye-opening experiences with injustice, these women began working to organize their communities and raise awareness about the ongoing impacts of the BP oil disaster on coastal communities. All the while, they continue to see their families, friends, and communities struggle.
"This is a group of people from the Gulf… sitting there in solidarity because there are real health issues that need to be addressed," said Drew Landry, a friend and fellow advocate who was also at the hearing. "It seems like [the court was] scared they were going to stand up and say something."
The Removal*
A few minutes before 3 pm, as an Attorney for the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee was discussing the merits of the medical component of the settlement, Judge Barbier received a note from a U.S. Marshal, and called for a pause in the proceedings. After consulting with the Marshal, the Judge asked, "Is there someone in the courtroom who is attempting to or is live streaming the audio of this hearing?"
No one responded, and the Judge said the live streaming was coming from the back row. Confused about whether the iPad she was taking notes on was somehow connected to live streaming, a woman named Christine Breault raised her hand tentatively and said, "Well, I have an iPad?" She was immediately approached by a second U.S. Marshal and court guards, and told to leave.
The Marshal who consulted with Barbier then said, "She's with two other people," and that they had to leave too. The court guard asked Breault to identify whom she had come with, but she responded she was alone. (Breault and the other women have met through events and actions related to the BP oil disaster, but say they did not arrive together.) The U.S. Marshall then looked specifically at Arnesen and Chauncey. "All three or four of you need to leave right now," said Barbier.
After Arnesen and Chauncey left, the U.S. Marshal said, "There's somebody else." The other Marshal and guards approached Foytlin and began to remove her. She said she didn't do anything. The Marshal said the live streaming was going to her web site. "I don't have a web site!" she said. Judge Barbier told her to leave immediately. The U.S. Marshals pulled her out by the shoulders, as she insisted she didn't have a website and hadn't been live streaming.
Once outside the courtroom, one of the Marshals asked Foytlin, "You have a Facebook page, right?" Foytlin responded yes. The two men then pushed her against the wall between two elevators and handcuffed her, while she continued to protest that she didn't do anything. Inside the elevator, they held her against the wall and told her to calm down, and that they saw on her web site she was live streaming.
Once downstairs, the U.S. Marshal told Foytlin he knew she was posting to her Facebook page, and showed Foytlin a print out of a photo, apparently as evidence of her "live audio streaming."
The photo was from a Facebook update Foytlin posted a couple hours earlier:
(That's Breault on the left and Chauncey and Arnesen third and fourth from the left).
The men, now there were four or five of them, a mix of U.S. Marshals and other courthouse security, then led her outside and released the handcuffs, and admonished her for being disruptive in court. Foytlin says they threatened to charge her with federal contempt of court and warned her that there would be "big time charges" with prison time.
It's unclear what the relationship is between the Facebook post and the alleged "live audio streaming." Taking a photo outside a federal courthouse is protected by the 1st Amendment. Foytlin had her press pass around her neck the entire time.
Inside the courtroom, a reporter with WWL-TV had been live tweeting the proceedings all morning. The court itself had its own "live audio streaming" set up – there was an 800 number anyone could call to listen live to the proceedings.
It seems the women had been targeted from the beginning – Arnesen said when she arrived at the courthouse that morning, a U.S. Marshal rode in the elevator with her and said, "I remember you from outside." She took that as a reference to a February protest against the settlement outside the courthouse that Arnesen participated in, which was videotaped by federal agents. Foytlin says that another person who was at that February protest was turned away from the courtroom yesterday for lack of space, but heard a security officer say to another, "Is he on your list?"
From the sidewalk outside after being ejected, Foytlin said, "I'm a citizen, I'm a journalist, I was sick [from BP's oil and dispersants]. I had a right to be in that courtroom. They target people who speak up and tell the truth. It's supposed to make you scared, but it ought to make you mad."
That's certainly the effect it had on Michelle Chauncey, who fumed, "I'm supposed to be depending on this courthouse for justice?"
* This version of events is pieced together through the testimonies of the Foytlin, Chauncey, Arnesen, and Breault, of two people who remained in the courtroom after the removal, and from my own observation – I heard audio of the exchange streaming from the overflow room next to the courtroom, and came into the hallway in time to see Foytlin being pulled from the room and handcuffed. When I took a photo on my cell phone of Foytlin being handcuffed, one of the marshals or court guards grabbed my phone and told me I had to leave too. I got the phone back on the condition I erase the photo. I then rode down in the elevator with Foytlin and the enforcement officers and was ejected with her.
Updated Monday 11/12, 1 pm - The orginial version of this article erroneously stated that an earlier protest of the BP settlement happened in May of this year. The "Rally for Justice" was held in February 2012.
Ada McMahon is a Media Fellow at Bridge The Gulf (www.BridgeTheGulfProject.org), a community journalism project for Gulf Coast communities working towards justice and sustainability. She previously worked as a blogger and online organizer at Green For All, a national non-profit that fights pollution and poverty through "an inclusive green economy". She is from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and currently lives in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Here's the deal: This ironic
Here's the deal: This ironic ordeal that happened at the fairness hearing, that sucked. It was wrong. I/we weren't doing anything but sitting quietly and listening. We had no intention of causing a ruckus and by no means were any of us live streaming anything. It was a clear infringement on our civil rights. I can still feel those hands on me, and the wall on my face. I can still smell the marshal's breath, and feel it on my ear as he threatened me with jail time. It makes me mad, but I guarantee you I am unafraid and unmoved - BUT THAT IS NOT THE STORY. THE STORY IS that THOUSANDS of American fishing families and first responder oil spill clean up workers who were/are devastated by THE LARGEST ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER IN AMERICAN HISTORY, have been subjected to the bitterness of a corrupt system that is in the stranglehold grip of a foreign company, who from the beginning and to this day, has run a "dog and pony" show for the people of the world. THE QUESTIONS ARE: How can we at this time affect the outcome of this in a positive way with regards to the health and ecosystem of the people of the Gulf Coast? How can we keep this sort of derailing of justice from continuing to happen in our country? AND Why are they so afraid of 4 women, armed with only words and love, if they do not know what we say to be the truth? Please help me share the real story... http://bridgethegulfproject.org/node/714
The lady doth protest too
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Busted, really?
So tell me, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, where was this website/Facebook page? I keep up on these things and didn't see it, nor did I hear about the alleged opportunity to listen in to a "livestream". What was the web address?
Seems to me that you might just be wanting to cause problems ... shill much?
Deny all you want it doesn't
Deny all you want it doesn't cahnge anything.
Oh Please
AGAIN, link please ... otherwise, we'll just assume you're here to cause problems, which, of course, would mean you're just another BP shill.
Most of the Gulf activists have plenty of experience with shills, you're not special.
Doesn't really matter. You
Doesn't really matter. You folks thought you were being cute and could do whatever you want but instead you ended up harming yourselves and your cause. There is no legal recourse for you to pursue in regards to this matter and I hope that in the future you obey the law and the rules of the game so that you can participate.
Doesn't matter?
Until you produce the link and/or screen grabs, you are a shill with zero credibility.
What really doesn't matter is your unsubstantiated lies claims.

"Call Me Maybe" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen for her EP Curiosity (2012) and appearing on her international debut album, Kiss. The song was written by Jepsen and Tavish Crowe as a folk song, but its genre was modified to pop following the production by Josh Ramsay. It was released as the lead single from the EP on September 20, 2011, through 604 Records. Jepsen was signed to Schoolboy Records, releasing her single in the United States through the label, as the first single from Kiss. Musically, "Call Me Maybe" is an upbeat teen pop track that draws influences from dance-pop and disco. Lyrically, the track alludes to the inconvenience that a love at first sight brings to a girl who hopes for a call back from a crush.
The song received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics, who praised its composition and clever[citation needed] lyrical content[citation needed]. "Call Me Maybe" has attained commercial success worldwide, reaching number one in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, while peaking inside the top three in Austria, Belgium (Flanders & Wallonia), Germany, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. After reaching the top position on the Canadian Hot 100, Jepsen became only the fifth Canadian artist to do so in her home country since 2007. In the United States, the track reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Pop Songs chart.[1] The song is the first number one by a Canadian female artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since 2007's "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne.
An accompanying music video was directed by Ben Knechtel. In it, Jepsen seeks the attention of an attractive boy next door who is revealed at the close of the story to be attracted to a male band member. As part of promotion for the song, Jepsen performed the track on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she made her US television debut, and at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. "Call Me Maybe" has been covered by several artists, including Katy Perry,[2] Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Cosgrove, Dan Deacon, Fun, Big Time Rush, The Chipettes, R5, Lil' Wayne, Enter Shikari, Ben Howard, Cody Simpson, The Saturdays, and parodied by Cookie Monster and some of the news staff of National Public Radio. It was also covered on "The New Rachel", the season premiere episode of the fourth season of Glee.
"Call Me Maybe" was nominated for two Grammy Awards, for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 55th Annual ceremony, but lost to "We Are Young" by Fun and the live performance of "Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele, respectively. On December 11, 2012, "Call Me Maybe" was named Song of the Year for 2012 by MTV.[3] In its 2012 Year-End issue, Billboard magazine ranked this song #2 in the Hot 100 Songs, Digital Songs, and Canadian Hot 100 charts, in each case behind "Somebody That I Used to Know", by Gotye featuring Kimbra. The song was also ranked number one by the Village Voice's annual Pazz and Jop poll, which compiles the votes of music critics from all over the United States.[4] The song was the best-selling single worldwide in 2012, selling over 10 million copies in that year alone, and the best-selling single on the iTunes Store in 2012. With worldwide sales of over 13 million copies as of May 2013, "Call Me Maybe" was the best-selling digital single of 2012,[5][6] and is also one of the best-selling digital singles and one of the best-selling singles of all time, with sales in the 10-14.99 million bracket.
"Call Me Maybe" was initially written by Jepsen and Tavish Crowe as a folk song, while they were on tour. Jepsen stated that the writing process was easy, and that she wasn't "over-thinking it. We brought in Josh, and he helped us kind of pop-ify it."[7] The following days, she recorded the track at the Umbrella Studios in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.[8] Jepsen later stated that it is "basically a pick up. What person hasn't wanted to approach somebody before and stopped because it's scary? I know I have."[9] "Call Me Maybe" had been first released in Canada only through 604 Records on September 20, 2011.[10]
In January 2012, dating pop singers Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were in Canada and heard the track on the radio. After they tweeted about it on their personal profiles, Jepsen instantly gained international attention, and got signed by Scooter Braun to his Schoolboy Records.[11] Braun revealed that Bieber has "never jumped out and promoted an artist like this before. He sends me different YouTube videos of unsigned artists that he'd like to work with, but never someone who already had a song out and is on the radio."[12] Worldwide distribution of the single was done through Interscope Records.[13]

Written by Jepsen and Crowe, with additional writing and song production by Josh Ramsay, "Call Me Maybe" is an upbeat track that draws influences from dance-pop and disco.[8][16] Lyrically, the song describes the "infatuation and inconvenience of a love at first sight," as described by Bill Lamb of About.com.[14] During the pre-chorus, Jepsen states how she suddenly becomes attracted to a person, singing, "Your stare was holding, ripped jeans, skin was showing/Hot night, wind was blowing/Where you think you're going, baby?"[16] As the chorus begins, the background incorporates synthesized string chords, and Jepsen explains that her feelings towards the guy are unexpected, "Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number, So call me maybe."[14][17]
Melody Lau of Rolling Stone wrote that "Call Me Maybe" is a "Taylor Swift meets Robyn" song.[12] Jon O'Brien of Allmusic stated that the songs of Curiosity recall the bubblegum pop era of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and added that "Call Me Maybe" is a combination of teen pop and synthpop with "a chorus that just about straddles that fine line between sugary sweet and sickly."[18] Tiffany Lee of Yahoo! Music deemed it as an instant summer hit, and added that "Call Me Maybe" has "a good beat, great melody and catchy lyrics; something you and your friends can belt out in the car while driving to the beach, a party, and pretty much anywhere."[19] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote that the song is "breezy and sweet, an eyelash-fluttering flirtation run hard through the Disney-pop model of digitized feelings and brusque, chipper arrangements."[16]
According to Musicnotes.com, "Call Me Maybe" is written in the key of G major with a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute. Jepsen's vocals span from G3 to C5, and the song follows a key progression of Cmaj7–G/D–Cmaj7–G/D.[20]
Critical reception[edit]
"Call Me Maybe" received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics. Bill Lamb of About.com stated that Jepsen is one of the highlights of Canadian music, and added that although some may dismiss it as "fluffy", the track "is the kind of song that pop fans will take to heart."[14] Rolling Stone journalist Melody Lau considered "Call Me Maybe" "a sugary dance-pop tune ... about hoping for a call back from a crush,"[12] while Kat George of VH1 described it as a eurodance tune and further commented that if Jepsen "keeps turning out little ditties like 'Call Me Maybe', we're facing a brand new addition for summer."[21] Emma Carmichael of Gawker did a long review on the track, which she described as the "new perfect pop song."[15] Carmichael further added that the song is "flawless" and that "we will be virtually incapable of escaping the song and its strident disco strings and that horribly catchy hook."[15] Nicole James of MTV revealed that "Call Me Maybe" is probably the catchiest song she has ever heard, and added that "I don't even want to tell you what the play count is in my iTunes for that song, but the moment you press play you're sucked in."[22] The Village Voice's Maura Johnston deemed it as an "utterly earwormy" song.[23] RedEye's Emily Van Zandt began her review of the track saying, "screw you, Internet. Thanks to a couple of posts on blogs that I refuse to own up to following, my afternoon has been dedicated to Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe'."[24] Van Zandt continued to state that "all I know is that I have co-dependency issues when it comes to my music. When it's sad, I'm sad. When it's angry, I'm angry. And when it's ridiculously over-produced, up-tempo bubblegum pop with terrible lyrics on a beautiful day in Chicago when I'm wearing pink pants, I just kind of want to start skipping around handing my number out to random bros, you know?"[24] Jim Farber of the New York Daily News said, "In lyrical construction, melodic flourish and instrumental arrangement, 'Maybe' has the urgency and sweep of the greatest teen pop songs ever recorded."[25]
Pitchfork Media named "Call Me Maybe" the 29th best song of 2012,[26] while Rolling Stone named it the 50th greatest single of that year.[27] It was voted the best single of 2012 by The Village Voice's 40th annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll.[28]
Chart performance[edit]
"Call Me Maybe" achieved commercial success in Canada, and later in the United States and around the world. The song is Jepsen's third single to enter the Canadian Hot 100, debuting at number 97 for the week of October 22, 2011.[29][30] For the week of February 11, 2012, "Call Me Maybe" reached number one in its 17th week on the Canadian Hot 100.[31] By doing so, Jepsen became the fifth Canadian artist ever to reach the top position on the new chart in her home country, after Avril Lavigne, Nelly Furtado, Nikki Yanofsky, and Young Artists for Haiti.[32] Jepsen commented that she feels "ultimately honored to be mentioned among those names. These are all artists I look up to in a big way. I have their music, they've been on my records since I can remember. It's really hard to believe. It's cool because at the same time, it's all that I've all ever been working for."[33] The song has since been certified 7× Platinum by the Music Canada (MC), and has sold over 560,000 units of the track in the country.[13][34] For the chart for the week of January 12, 2013, the song jumped from number 43 back into the top 40 at number 27.
In the United States, the song debuted at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week of March 10, 2012 with 80,000 downloads.[35] The song entered the top ten on the chart the week April 14, 2012 at number #10.[36] The song reached number one on the week ending June 23, 2012 and spent nine consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[37] She is the first Canadian female artist to have a number one on Billboard Hot 100 in five years since Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend", which reached number one on the week of May 5, 2007. The song is only the fourth song to log seven weeks at number one by an artist from Canada, tied with "Sh-Boom" by The Crew-Cuts, "Informer" by Snow featuring MC Shan, and "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams. Three weeks earlier, it had reached number one on the Digital Songs component chart.[38] The track also reached number one on the Pop Songs chart.[39] The song is Jepsen's first entry on the Billboard charts in the country, which made her the first lead woman since Kesha with her single "Tik Tok" to have her debut single peak at such position.[38] "Call Me Maybe" holds the record for the longest run at number one on the US Hot 100 among female Canadian artists and tied with Percy Faith's 1960 song, "Theme from a Summer Place," for the longest among all Canadian artists.[citation needed] "Call Me Maybe" was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).,[40] and as of September 2013, it has sold 7,223,000 copies in the US.,[41] becoming the fifth digital song (and only the second digital song by a female artist) to do so.
"Call Me Maybe" debuted at number 39 in Australia on the chart issue dated March 18, 2012,[42] and four weeks later, rose to number one.[42] It remained at the top for five consecutive weeks, before falling to number two.[42] The song has since been certified nine-times Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), denoting shipments of 490,000 copies.[43] The song also made its debut on the country's chart for the week of March 5, 2012 at number 22, reaching the top position four weeks later.[44] It remained at the top for five consecutive weeks, before falling to number two.[44] By August 2012, "Call Me Maybe" had been certified three-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), surpassing digital sales of 45,000 units.[45] "Call Me Maybe" became New Zealand's best selling single in 2012, placed at the top spot by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand.[46]
"Call Me Maybe" performed well in Europe also, peaking at number one in France, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia, and Switzerland and the United Kingdom.[42] The song debuted in the Republic of Ireland on March 15, 2012. The song went to number one the following week, March 22, 2012, and stayed consecutively at number one for four weeks.[47] while attaining top three positions in Austria, Belgium (Flanders & Wallonia), Germany, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.[42] In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart on April 8, 2012 ― for the week ending date April 14, 2012 ― where it stayed for 4 weeks, selling nearly 107,000 copies in the first week.[48][49] The song became the third fastest selling single of 2012 in the country, behind DJ Fresh and Rita Ora's track "Hot Right Now" and Cheryl Cole's "Call My Name".[50] "Call Me Maybe" remained at number one for a second week on April 15, 2012, keeping Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" reaching such position after outselling it by two to one.[51] In its fourth week on the chart, the song stayed at number one with 99,569 copies sold after three consecutive weeks selling over 100,000 copies.[52] The song became Britain's second best-selling single of 2012, with 1,143,000 copies sold.[53] The song became a top-ten hit in 29 countries and went to number one in 19 countries.
Music video[edit]
A music video for "Call Me Maybe" was written and directed by Ben Knechtel. According to Knechtel, the main idea behind the concept was to have a "twist at the end", trying to get away from the idea of the classic "boy meets a girl" story.[55] The music video has over 450 million views on Vevo and YouTube as of April 27, 2013.[55]
The video begins with Jepsen spying on her attractive tattooed neighbor, portrayed by Holden Nowell, as he is working on his lawn.[16] As he takes his shirt off and notices she is staring at him, Jepsen slips on her high heels and falls below her window. She is reading the books Love at First Sight (Men In Uniform) by B.J. Daniels and Skylar's Outlaw by Linda Warren. The scene then cuts to her garage, where she is rehearsing the track with her band. Following the rehearsals, her bandmates push her to go and wash her car, where she tries to gain her neighbor's attention with various provocative poses only to fall from the hood of the car. She is briefly knocked out from the fall, during which she dreams of a romance novel-type encounter with her crush. As she comes to, the neighbor then helps Jepsen to get up, and watches the band rehearse the track again. After turning and writing down her telephone number, Jepsen sees her neighbor pass one of her male bandmates (Tavish Crowe) his own number, indicating he is attracted to the man instead. The video received three nominations on the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards in the categories of UR Fave Video, Pop Video of the Year, and Video of the Year.[56]
Live performances[edit]
Jepsen has performed "Call Me Maybe" live a few times, while playing an unreleased intro to the song on some selected dates.[57][58][59] She made her US television debut during The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Emily Exton of Pop Dust summarized the performance, writing, "delivering fairly true-to-radio vocals that seemed to overcome any lingering nerves performing for millions of viewers (and your sorta boss?) might bring on, Carly left the security of the mike stand to move beneath the oversized dandelion lights during the final moments of her euphoric head-bobber."[60] On March 26, 2012, Jepsen visited WBBM-FM's Morning Show and performed two tracks of her EP, "Call Me Maybe" and "Curiosity".[61] The singer also performed an acoustic version of the song on Kidd Kraddick in the Morning and KISS 92.5.[62][63] On May 2, 2012 on a visit to Australia she performed "Call Me Maybe" on the popular TV show Sunrise.[64] On May 20, 2012, Jepsen performed the track on the 2012 Billboard Music Awards.[65] On June 9, 2012, Jepsen performed the track with Justin Bieber on the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2012 at Wembley Stadium, London.[66] On June 17, 2012, Jepsen performed the song at 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards.

Carly Rae Jepsen and Harvey Keitel performed "Call Me Maybe" alternating their own version of it during Comedy Central's Night Of Too Many Stars Autism benefit show on October 21, 2012.[68]

Minority languages: experts to visit Croatia
A delegation of the Committee of Experts of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages is to visit Croatia from 2 to 5 March 2004 to monitor the country's implementation of this treaty.
During its visit to Daruvar and Zagreb, the delegation will meet representatives of the Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Ruthenian, Serbian and Italian languages, including NGOs, politicians, educationalists, as well as representatives of local authorities and of the national government.
On the basis of the information gathered, the Committee will prepare its own report, if necessary proposing recommendations to be made to the Croatian authorities on how the Charter can be better implemented.
Pursuant to Article 16 paragraph 2 of the Charter, bodies or associations legally established in Croatia have the possibility to draw the attention of the Committee of Experts to matters relating to the undertakings entered into in Croatia under Part III of the Charter and/or to submit statements concerning the policy pursued by Croatia in accordance with Part II of the Charter. These comments must be sent to the Committee of Experts by 5 April 2004 at the latest.
