Peppermint Two Plans Publicized
Shane Remington, co-founder of the Peppermint operating system (OS), announced plans to merge the previous two Peppermint OSes into one OS to be released as Peppermint Two.
According to Remington, a merge of Peppermint OS One and Ice will be integrated to create the Peppermint Two distribution, which is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2011.
As the Peppermint development team enters the final stages of the release process, the search for talented artists to create the finishing touches kicks off. Remington announced the Peppermint Wallpaper Challenge today. The Peppermint team is looking for an unbranded piece of art to use as the default wallpaper for Peppermint Two, and the winner of the challenge will receive US$ 200.00 plus a Peppermint Swag Pack.
More information on the Peppermint Wallpaper Challenge can found on the Peppermint OS website.

Discovering Neural Nets With Low Kolmogorov Complexity And High Generalization Capability (1997)

volume = {10},
pages = {10--5}
Many neural net learning algorithms aim at finding "simple" nets to explain training data. The expectation is: the "simpler" the networks, the better the generalization on test data (! Occam's razor). Previous implementations, however, use measures for "simplicity" that lack the power, universality and elegance of those based on Kolmogorov complexity and Solomonoff's algorithmic probability. Likewise, most previous approaches (especially those of the "Bayesian" kind) suffer from the problem of choosing appropriate priors. This paper addresses both issues. It first reviews some basic concepts of algorithmic complexity theory relevant to machine learning, and how the Solomonoff-Levin distribution (or universal prior) deals with the prior problem. The universal prior leads to a probabilistic method for finding "algorithmically simple" problem solutions with high generalization capability. The method is based on Levin complexity (a time-bounded generalization of Kolmogorov comple...

With the completion of the transnational Øresund Bridge in 2000, Copenhagen has become the centre of the increasingly integrating Øresund Region. Within this region, Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö are growing into a combined metropolitan area. Copenhagen is situated on the islands of Zealand and Amager.First documented in the 11th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the beginning of the 15th century. During the 17th century, under the reign of Christian IV, it became a significant regional centre.Copenhagen is a major regional centre of culture, business, media, and science, as indicated by several international surveys and rankings (see International rankings below). Life science, information technology and shipping are important sectors, and research & development plays a major role in the city's economy. Its strategic location and excellent infrastructure, with the largest airport in Scandinavia[3] located 14 minutes by train from the city centre, have made it a regional hub and a popular location for regional headquarters[4] and conventions.Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life.[5][6][7] It is also considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities. The water in the inner harbour is clean and safe for swimming. 36% of all citizens commute to work by bicycle. Every day, they cycle a combined 1.2 million km.[8]Since the turn of the millennium, Copenhagen has seen a strong urban and cultural development and has been described as a boom town.[9] This is partly due to massive investments in cultural facilities as well as infrastructure and a new wave of successful designers, chefs and architects.[6] As of 2010, Copenhagen is ranked as the 10th most expensive city in the world according to Forbes magazine.[10]

When you enter a payment for a student you are able to enter an amount for a fee waiver. This wavier amount should be the total that the student's fee is being discounted (for all their exams combined). When we calculate discrepancies (students who are not paid in full) the wavier is added to the payment.
For example. lets say Johnny has a fee of $172.00, we give him a waiver of $40.00 ($20.00 per exam) and he paid $132.00. Johnny will not show up in the discrepancy report as he is paid in full.

Wikipedia: battleground of the new millennium
Wikipedia, the famed hive mind reference database written by anyone who feels like having a go, has suffered a few military-related hiccups in recent days. Firstly, the page on the US Army went through an editing conflict. It normally starts off conventionally enough, with something along the lines of "the United States Army is …
Somewhat ironic...
...that your article should itself succumb to the loaded use of language it's reporting as problematic:
"links directly to 9/11 conspiracy theorists"
Who are they then? There are many theories and hypotheses about 9/11, some bonkers, some worthy of investigation, some official, some conspiratorial and absolutely *none* of them proven anywhere near beyond reasonable doubt, most definitely including the official ones. Indeed there is a fair body of perfectly intelligent, logical people who would suggest that it is not in the US gov't interests to prove their hypothesis beyond reasonable doubt - they certainly display no signs of wishing to do so, five and a half years on.
Self reference?
While I'll stay away from the Army/Marines battle, I would like to know if the following:
"El Reg's considered, impartial advice is not to trust anything you read on the internet. ®"
is a self reference, or not?
Of course we all KNOW that El Reg is the best and most accurate there is!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - BP is appealing a judge's rejection of its argument that claimants who can't trace their losses directly to the company's 2010 Gulf oil spill shouldn't receive payments through a multibillion-dollar settlement with a team of private plaintiffs' lawyers.
BP attorneys filed a notice of appeal Thursday, two days after the ruling by U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier.
The judge said in Tuesday's order that BP's settlement was designed to avoid the delays that would result from a "claim-by claim analysis" of whether each claim can be traced to the spill.
Earlier this month, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Barbier erred when he initially refused to consider BP's "causation" arguments.
The same panel will consider BP's latest appeal.

Nearly four decades ago, on a dreary night in New Orleans, two titans of college football met for the first time.
It was a time of jarring social and political turmoil in America: the pain of the civil rights movement was still fresh and U.S. troops were finally home from an unpopular war in Vietnam.
Against that backdrop, Notre Dame and Alabama played for the national title in the 1973 Sugar Bowl. It was North vs. South.
The teams didn't just live up the hype, they blew it away.
The game of the year became a game for the ages - and Notre Dame won, 24-23.
On Monday night, the teams meet again, with another national title on the line.

News: Lupe Fiasco Vs. Hackers Wages On, "It Upsets The Balance Of What You Want To Do As An Artist"
Friday, Dec 31, 2010 1:10PM
Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco recently discussed his quest to end unauthorized music releases and how computer hackers are ultimately hurting artists' careers.
According to Fiasco, music hackers do not consider the consequences when they release music without legal permission.
"When it's something that's done illegally or maliciously, it's different," Fiasco said in an interview. "It's songs you don't even have as the artist, and some dude in the middle of nowhere that hacked into a computer has it. It upsets the balance of what you want to do as an artist and how you want to roll your album out...People don't really understand the ramifications when a song leaks. There are actually studios that are sued, and engineers that are fired." (Billboard)
Fiasco previously called off plans to drop a mixtape due to his popularity amongst hackers.
"I was plotting on doing the follow-up to [Enemy of the State: A Love Story]," Lupe said in an interview. "Simply because [it] was short. And I felt like it was space to do another one. I was gonna do another one called Friend to the People, but I started to get wind that people had songs they shouldn't have had. I was like, 'This is just gonna open the floodgates if I come out with another record. I know these dudes are threatening to leak records and do crazy stuff.' Sometimes I feel there may be too much Lupe music out there -- whether it be old stuff or new stuff or freestyles. I don't want to have a ton of music sitting out. I made the decision to fall back from it and really focus on the climb. We were a couple of weeks away from doing that." (MTV)
In the past, Lupe resorted to legal action in hopes of handling illegal leaks.
"The track 'I'm Beaming' that was leaked last night was NOT authorized or intentionally leaked by myself or my company," he wrote Christmas Eve. "Plain and simple its STOLEN property. And this goes for ANY record or track that leaks or is made available for illegal download from this day forward. Actions are being taken and the authorities have been notified. As a personal plea to all my fans PLEASE DO NOT share, stream, or download any unauthorized or stolen Lupe Fiasco music. A lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own personal finances." (Lupe Fiasco's Blog)
In an attempt to cease the spread of unauthorized music, the government began shutting down websites last month.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced on Monday that it had executed court approved seizure orders "against 82 domain names of commercial websites engaged in the illegal sale and distribution of counterfeit goods and copyrighted works as part of Operation In Our Sites v. 2.0." Operation In Our Sites is an ICE initiative aimed at Internet counterfeiting and piracy that began earlier this year with seizure warrants against nine domain names of websites that were offering first-run movies. The ICE press release for Operation In Our Sites v. 2.0 said that the "... operation targeted online retailers of a diverse array of counterfeit goods, including sports equipment, shoes, handbags, athletic apparel and sunglasses as well as illegal copies of copyrighted DVD boxed sets, music and software." (IEEE Spectrum)

What's next for Trinity High School students...
Steph Scheurer reports as community members, parents, and students gather to hear what the following months will hold.
"First reaction is shock," says Steve Glasser, President of Dickinson Catholic Schools.
"I think it puts everyone in a damper mood," says Ben Hapip, Senior, Trinity High School.
Just two of the reactions of officials and students who are still reeling from the Trinity High School fire.
"I think we'll all pick back up," says Hapip.
It's Ben's senior year and his plan to receive his diploma on Trinity's auditorium stage went up in smoke.
"That saddens all of us because all of our parents walked across that stage. And we'll be the first class not to walk across that stage," says Hapip.
But despite the ashes and dust left behind, Ben looks forward to his final months of high school.
"That's just how I live life. If you live positively, positive things will happen to you," says Hapip.
Officials say the community has been nothing but supportive. Schools and organizations and come together to help in Trinity's main goal - to resume immediate instruction.
"I think it's pretty incredible that we did what we did in two days," says Glasser.
In two days, schools offered space for each of the grades to resume class on Monday.
DSU donated desks and TMI provided office space for faculty.
"The outpouring of support, the thoughts, the prayers...you know, people - just what can we do. I've had so many people, just what can we do. So it's pretty neat. You know, Dickinson's a great community and it just really shows of how people rally when there's a difficult situation and well the community has really rallied," says Glasser.
Glasser says patience is key as the school and community continues to move forward.
The Trinity High School building will remain closed the rest of the school year.
School for Trinity students will resume on Monday.
Schools for Trinity Students:
7th and 8th Grade - Prairie Rose Elementary
Freshmen - Berg Elementary
Sophomores - Hagen Junior High
Juniors and Seniors - St. Joseph's Church

La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary named as 'Distinguished Schools' by Department of Education
City News Service
La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools were among 40 elementary schools around San Diego County named California Distinguished Schools by the state Department of Education.
"The schools we are recognizing today demonstrate the incredible commitment of California's teachers, administrators and school employees to provide a world-class education to every student, in spite of the financial hardships facing our state and our schools," said Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction. "Their dedication is inspiring, and I applaud and admire their passion and persistence."
In all, 387 elementary schools around the state were recognized for providing students with an equitable and rigorous education and narrowing the achievement gap. The state alternates between recognizing elementary schools one year and middle and high schools the next.

Washington is pushing the panic button, claiming austerity is hollowing out our armed forces and our national security is at risk. That was the message Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel delivered last week when he announced that the Army would shrink to levels not seen since before World War II. Headlines about this crisis followed in papers like the New York Timesand members of Congress issued statements swearing that they would never allow our security to be held hostage to the budget-cutting process.
Hardline activists sought to unseat Rep. Donna Edwards over her Mideast views, but failed to raise enough money.
Glenn F. Ivey, the former Prince George's County prosecutor who had announced plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) is quitting the race, his spokesman said Wednesday.
Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (D-MD) announced today that Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) is endorsing her candidacy for re-election in Maryland's 4th Congressional District.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives today killed a Democratic resolution condemning U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, for saying last week that Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels would be "very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine."
Rep. Donna Edwards appears to be in solid shape to win re-election four and a half months before the Maryland Democratic primary, according to an internal poll from her campaign.

Parliamentary Representative for the La Plaine constituency Petter Saint- Jean said he will continue to ensure that the residents of his constituency are educated in the area of marine life.
Saint-Jean told the launching of the floating classroom programme at the Jones Beaupierre Primary School this week that the preservation of Dominica's marine resources is of particular importance to the south east.
"The programme is important to us in La Plaine and the south east of Dominica," he said.
According to him, education on the importance of the country's marine resource should begin at schools.
"In this programme, we are targeting the young people. These are the ones who will take our generation forward. Hence the concept of fostering responsible stewardship of our marine resources is of outmost importance and it must start from an early age," he added.
Saint- Jean, who was also sworn in as minister of education earlier this month, said there are a number of initiatives that have been undertaken in the south east to ensure that the people there are knowledgeable on the issues of preservation and conservation of the country's marine life.

Facebook to Launch iPad App, Preparing Web-Based Mobile Platform
People briefed on Facebook's plans say that in coming weeks the company plans to introduce a free iPad application that has been carefully designed and optimized for the tablet.Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who along with other company executives noted last November that the company was still been trying to decide how best to handle the iPad, is said to have been "heavily involved" in the app's development.
The app has been in production at Facebook for almost a year, going through several design iterations, and is now in the final stages of testing, according to these people, who declined to be named because they were discussing confidential product plans.
People who have seen the application said it has a slick design that has been tailored for the iPad and its touchscreen interface. Facebook developers and designers have also overhauled the Facebook Chat and Facebook Groups features for the application. And the app will go beyond the features available on the Facebook Web site by allowing users to shoot and upload photos and videos directly from the iPad's built-in cameras.Facebook's iPad app comes just as TechCrunch reports that the company is preparing to launch a new HTML5-based mobile platform codenamed "Project Spartan" that would take on iOS on its home turf by running within the mobile Safari browser.
As of right now, there are believed to be 80 or so outside developers working with Facebook on Project Spartan. These teams are working on apps for the platform that range from games to news-reading apps. Some of the names should be familiar: Zynga and Huffington Post (owned by our parent AOL), for example. The goal is to have these apps ready to roll in the next few weeks for a formal unveiling shortly thereafter.Facebook's vision for Project Spartan reportedly includes integration of its Facebook Credits payment system that would allow developers to offer paid apps and in app purchases directly through the web-based platform.

All they're going to do is take the existing facebook website and port it to iPad like for like.

MassHousing Vs. FHA – Which Is The Better Option?
Most buyers assume that FHA is their only option when looking for low down payment mortgage options. They also assume that because FHA products typically have the lowest rate, they will also have the lowest possible payment with their minimum down payment.
In Massachusetts, MassHousing loans may make more sense than FHA loans to pursue if your scenario requires a low down payment.
Benefits to MassHousing:
The Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MassHousing) has great loan programs that allow qualified borrowers to put as little as 3% down with and without private mortgage insurance.
If you choose the no mortgage insurance program your rate will be higher than FHA and the monthly mortgage insurance option but make sure you do the math. Financing your mortgage insurance into your interest rate typically does two things: most importantly it will give you a lower monthly payment but it will also maximize your tax deductibility since the interest is tax deductible. This can be a huge benefit when it comes time to itemize your taxes by deducting the mortgage interest you pay instead of paying that money to the government as a mortgage insurance payment (talk to your CPA or Tax Preparer about your individual scenario).
Drawbacks to MassHousing:
MassHousing loans do have stricter qualification standards than FHA loans. The minimum credit score is 680 for MassHousing with the minimum 3.0% down payment (660 with a 5.0% down payment)* , maximum debt to income ratios of 41% (45% with a 5.0% down payment), you cannot own any other real estate while maintaining at least 3 open and active credit trade lines for the last 12 months. You also must meet their maximum income guidelines (which vary by county), and complete a home-buyer education class certified by the state.
If you can meet the stricter qualification standards, MassHousing loans are usually the better option vs FHA loans. You can actually put less down (3% vs 3.5%), and there is no mortgage insurance fees. FHA requires both upfront (financed into your loan amount) and monthly mortgage insurance payments for the life of your loan (assuming you put less than 10% down).
When you are considering your financing options with less than a 20% down payment, remember just because FHA typically has the lowest rate, it will come with a higher monthly payment. Make sure you are provided all financing scenarios for your individual scenario. More times than not, taking a higher rate and financing your mortgage insurance with less than 20% down will give you a lower monthly payment.
Feel free to contact me for a full mortgage analysis to ensure you are being provided all options for your individual scenario.

Appoint a director of regional collaboration
Will promote collaboration among cities to save money and improve service delivery to strengthen the region while preserving the rights of the individual cities.

Subjects: Government Efficiency
Cabinet-level appointment targets regional collaboration
Updated: Monday, January 24th, 2011 | By Robert Higgs
During his campaign for Cuyahoga County executive, Ed FitzGerald proposed appointing a director of regional collaboration who would urge cooperation between the county government and its 59 independent municipalities and promote economic development.
The Cabinet-level Office of Regional Collaboration would pursue shared-service agreements between cities, seek grants for key regional initiatives and work to end what FitzGerald called a "destructive bidding war" for business among Northeast Ohio communities.
On Jan. 10, FitzGerald announced the appointment of former Democratic state Rep. Ed Jerse of Euclid as the county's first regional collaboration director.
FitzGerald already had been pushing collaboration among area mayors and city managers and had called on them to identify services they might share, and to cooperate on attracting jobs to the region.
After his appointment, Jerse identified information technology and trash collection as two possible areas where collaboration may be possible.
A state representative for 10 years, Jerse was forced to step down after 2004 due to term limits. As regional collaboration director, he will be paid $107,500 a year.
Base on Jerse"s selection, we move the Fitz-O-Meter to Promise Kept.

On Thursday night Ohio State's Samantha Prahalis had a game for the ages as the Buckeyes senior guard scored a school-record 42 points in her last home game and Ohio State beat Minnesota 81-56. She finished with six rebounds, four assists and three steals before leaving to a standing ovation with 2:27 left after breaking Katie Smith's 1994 record by hitting two free throws.
Prahalis leads the Big Ten in both scoring (21.3 points per game) and assists (6.7) and had 22 points by halftime as the Buckeyes (24-4, 11-4 Big Ten) built a 12-point lead. She hit 15 of 27 shots from the field including 7 of 12 3-pointers, and was 5 for 5 at the line (full box score here). Full video coverage inside this post.
"My teammates found me," Prahalis said. "It says a lot about them that they kept giving me the ball to shoot. It shows they have faith in me. The fact I can go out like this in my senior night is really unselfish of them. I have 12 other girls who are great and it's just special."
With her 42 points, Samantha Prahalis moved into fourth place on Ohio State's all-time scoring list with 1,949 points, passing Tracey Hall who scored 1,912 points from 1985-88.
"I just got into a pretty good rhythm and it was almost like one of those nights when you don't see the defenders, you just get hot," Prahalis said.
Minnesota coach Pam, Borton was impressed.
"That is what makes it tough to play her on senior night," Borton said. "To play a competitor that wanted to finish things like that. I didn't believe that she was going to have 42, but she didn't miss. She made some shots that she hasn't made all year. She is averaging two made threes per game and she made seven tonight. A lot was going her way."

text: There is a lot of talk on this blog about the offense this year but lets start analyzing the d a little bit. In my opinion there are some major holes in this defense. Although we have Bradley back, and trust me I am a HUGE Bradley fan, this LB situation has changed every year regardless of the reasons. A bright spot the last couple years has been the play of the young core of LB's, but this group really concerns me, more than the Safety position. Offense will be fine this year, but if we want to play at a high level, we need our D to be up to the task. Thoughts?

But there could be another explanation, one that would fit the Machiavellian motives of the manipulating Mr. Valentine. What if he left Bard in the game long enough to look bad and show the general manager who was right?↵
Do I have any evidence or anyone else's opinion that my suspicion has validity? I do not, but Valentine watchers know the kind of games he plays, and his Bard decision fits snugly into his modus operandi.↵

Sooner Or Later (1979)
Having been Directed by Bruce Hart (his sole directorial credit) and written by himself and his wife Carole (both responsible for writing the original Sesame Street series on PBS!) You wouldn't think the Television movie SOONER OR LATER would be more than a standard issue Teen coming of age movie of the week. Instead what you might find is an unflinching and personal look inside of this girls' world and her first love with someone a lot older than herself. The movie dares not to moralize this situation and is rather sympathetic to her plight.
A lot of us felt we were more mature than we actually were in those awkward teenage years, and to find a movie that captures that so well is pretty rare. Plus, as a bonus gift, you get the cheesy yet catchy music stylings of the time. And for the ladies, music heartthrob Rex Smith sporting some of the tightest fitting clothing ever produced in the 1970s. And did he ever button his shirt up?

I Love Sooner or Later. I agree, it's very well done and really captures that "feeling" of teen-dom in a way few films really ever have.
And Rex Smith - fuggedaboudit! Hawt!
Oh, I wrote a reveiw of this too! Here's my shameless self-promotion link:

Excellent Review, Amanda! I feel the same exact way about this film. It's kind of surprising, and something that probably wouldn't be duplicated because our culture is oh-so-cynical these days.

Photofile 80 - Panic & Paranoia
Photography and the Law
Editor: Alasdair Foster
Will it soon be illegal to take a photograph in public? Heading up this issue of Photofile Martyn Jolly and Katherine Giles sort out the legal fact from the paranoid fiction. Meanwhile Adam Cuthbert highlights the danger of battlefield photography becoming a pornography of violence and Tarryn Gill and Pilar Mata Dupont satirise the simplistic polarising of good and evil portrayed in wartime propaganda.
Other featured artists include James Geurts who tells of his recent solo trip around the world's equator to create an image that symbolically and conceptually integrates humankind and environment. Closer to home, a poignant series by Angela Blakely and David Lloyd documents the hopes and fears of young Aboriginal people of Mount Isa while experts from various professions argue to pros and cons of US artist Jill Greenberg's controversial images of tearful toddlers. There is, of course, much more besides - an interview with Darren Sylvester, imagery by William Yang, Anne Noble, Bridgit Anderson, Murray McKeich, Joachim Froese and skater-artist guru Ed Templeton. In quieter vein, Helen Ennis reflects upon mortality on the eve of her forthcoming exhibition Reveries.

Urban Studies Spring Events 2014
Thursday, April 17 at 5:00pm, Urban Studies, 29 Manning Walk
Marcus Hunter is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University where he also holds a courtesy appointment in African American Studies, and is a faculty affiliate of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and LGBT Studies. Having received his PhD in 2011 from Northwestern University in sociology, Professor Hunter is generally interested in urban race relations, sexuality, politics, gender, history and change with a special focus on urban black Americans. His book, Black Citymakers: How the Philadelphia Negro Changed Urban America (Oxford University Press) revisits the Black Seventh Ward neighborhood immortalized in W.E.B. DuBois's The Philadelphia Negro. Through the dual lens of political agency and critical historical events, Black Citymakers follows the transformation of the neighborhood from predominantly black at the beginning of the 20th century into a largely white upper middle class and commercial neighborhood by the century's conclusion. His research has benefited from grants from the National Science Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. In addition, Hunter's research and commentary on urban black life and inequality has been featured in the journals the Du Bois Review, City & Community, Sexuality Research & Social Policy and the New York Times.
Demolition, Dispossession, and Resistance: Toward a Comparative Understanding of Evictions in India's Globalizing Cities
with discussant Matthew Desmond (Harvard University)
Thursday, March 11 at 5-6p.m., Maxcy Hall, Zimmer Lounge
Development pressures associated with global integration and national growth imperatives have resulted in demolition drives and clearance campaigns in cities and peri-urban areas across the Indian subcontinent. Some episodes of development-induced displacement, including the demolitions associated with Delhi's 2010 Commonwealth Games and those carried out in Mumbai in late 2004 as part of its government's efforts to "make Mumbai a world-class city," have attracted international media attention and inquiries from the UN Commission on Human Rights. Yet while India's major metros appear to be under similar pressures to clear low-value, non-conforming uses like slums, pavement colonies, and informal vendor markets, to make way for higher value, and increasingly high-profile developments, both the manner in which local governments are carrying out the demolitions and the legal and political recourse available to evicted residents appears to vary between (and even within) cities. Comparing resident evictions in both the central cities and the urbanizing peripheries of three of India's largest and most dynamic cities -- Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengalaru -- this paper demonstrates the unevenness of both the use of demolition drives to carry out new development imperatives and ways in which residents are responding to the threats of displacement. Counter to political statements about the price of development, as well as dominant theoretical perspectives on "accumulation by dispossession," the analysis reveals that development pressures account for only a portion of the recent evictions in these cities. Locally specific social and political dynamics, including religious and ethnic conflict, political patronage, and the density and activities of civil society organizations, interact and intersect with pressures for economic development to produce and uneven and inconsistent landscape of evictions across urban India.
Liza Weinstein is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northeastern University and a faculty affiliate of Northeastern Law School's Program on Human Rights in the Global Economy. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2009. Her research focuses on cities and globalization, urban political economy, the politics of informality, and state-civil society relations, with a regional focus on India. She is the author of "The Durable Slum: Dharavi and the Right to Stay Put in Globalizing Mumbai," University of Minnesota Press, 2014, which examines the Indian state's changing response to residential informality in the context of economic globalization. Her research has also appeared in Politics & Society, City & Community, the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, and Studies in Comparative International Development. Her current research is a comparative and historical study of forced evictions and housing rights activism in post-independence urban India, focusing on both the legal and political context of housing insecurity.

The Street, the Row and the Hood: Place and the Production of Culture in Nashville TN
RESCHEDULED - Thursday, March 6th, 5-6p.m., Urban Studies, 29 Manning Walk
Richard Lloyd, Associate Professor of Sociology at Vanderbilt University. He is author of Neo-Bohemia: Art and Commerce in the Postindustrial City. He is currently completing a book about Music City, and has published recent work on cities in the Southern United States, residential high rises in Nashville, and the politics of new urban design. Lloyd serves on the board of City and Community and is a past consulting editor for the American Journal of Sociology and Culture editor for Contexts.
Nashville TN is today branded as Music City USA, owing to both its rich musical legacy and its robust contemporary music industry. Best known as the capital of country music, Nashville is home to major genre stars including pop crossover sensation Taylor Swift. Artists across genres also record in Nashville, including acts like the Black Keys, Robert Plant and Jack White; moreover, a robust "roots" or "Americana" scene draws on the local legacy while positioning itself in opposition to today's country music mainstream. This paper examines the relationship between local place in Music City and the elaboration of musical production, examining three distinct Nashville districts: Broadway (the Street), organizing the downtown tourist district housing the historic Ryman Auditorium, the Arena, and the Country Music Hall of Fame; Music Row (the Row), the near West Side industry agglomeration of record labels, recording studios, performance rights organizations and music publishing houses; and East Nashville (the Hood), a neighborhood-in-transition associated with "alternative" musical expression and mobilizing a host of musical aspirants and lower level industry workers in its bars, cafes, home studios and backyard jams. These in turn illuminate generalizable dimensions of the durable link between culture and urban place: Legacy, Industry and Scene.

DETROPIA (90 minutes) 2012
Detroit's story has encapsulated the iconic narrative of America over the last century the Great Migration of African Americans escaping Jim Crow; the rise of manufacturing and the middle class; the love affair with automobiles; the flowering of the American dream; and now . . . the collapse of the economy and the fading American mythos. With its vivid, painterly palette and haunting score, Detropia sculpts a dreamlike collage of a grand city teetering on the brink of dissolution.
MANHATTAN (96 minutes) 1979
Manhattan follows the misadventures of a middle-aged divorcee (Woody Allen) who falls in love first with a much younger woman, then with a cerebral writer (Diane Keaton) who is also his best friend's mistress. It is both a seriocomic dissection of perpetually dissatisfied New Yorkers and an ode to the city itself, filmed in glorious black-and-white and set to a score of rhapsodic George Gershwin music.

Core Project: Satellite Hydrology with Emphasis on the Amazon and Congo River Basins
This project is designed to directly address the CWC water question, "Do we have enough surface water to maintain society; i.e., what is the spatial and temporal variability in terrestrial surface water storage and how can we predict these variations more accurately?" The Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission concept is specifically designed to address CWC water questions. SWOT has been reviewed and approved by the National Academy's Research Council (NRC). While SWOT will not be launched for several years, there is also an opportunity to address CWC water questions with today's operating satellites. These missions will provide a rather coarse resolution measure of surface waters, compared to SWOT, but serve to provide a baseline measurement.
The products and deliverables for this project stem from a two-fold approach: (1) analyses of existing satellite data with a goal of understanding the present distribution of surface water and (2) development and implementation of a CWC hydrologic data processing center. We will use a basin-by-basin approach starting with the tropical Amazon and Congo basins which contain the world's largest rivers. The product and deliverables from this core project will have importance for policy and related economic questions.
The SWOT mission will attract global to local attention on OSU and the CWC. Hydrologic data from this mission and other satellites are expected to be of value to international and local water resource managers, global water cycle and climate modelers, those needing improved understanding of flood hazards, coastal communities concerned with sea level rise, and water policy researchers and conflict management.

Thomas Sowell: How multiculturalism harms minorities it was intended to help
Intellectuals who imagine that they are helping racial or ethnic groups that lag behind by redefining their lags out of existence with multicultural rhetoric are in fact leading them into a blind alley.
Multiculturalism is a tempting quick fix for groups that lag by simply pronouncing their cultures to be equal, or "equally valid," in some vague and lofty sense. Cultural features are just different, not better or worse, according to this dogma.
Yet the borrowing of particular features from other cultures - such as Arabic numerals that replaced Roman numerals, even in Western cultures that derived from Rome - implies that some features are not simply different but better, including numbers. Some of the most advanced cultures in history have borrowed from other cultures, because no given collection of human beings has created the best answers to all the questions of life.
Nevertheless, since multiculturalists see all cultures as equal or "equally valid," they see no justification for schools to insist that black children learn standard English, for example. Instead, each group is encouraged to cling to its own culture and to take pride in its own past glories, real or imaginary.
In other words, members of minority groups that lag educationally, economically or otherwise are to continue to behave in the future as they have in the past - and, if they do not get the same outcomes as others, it is society's fault. That is the bottom line message of multiculturalism.
George Orwell once said that some ideas are so foolish that only an intellectual could believe them. Multiculturalism is one of those ideas. The intelligentsia burst into indignation or outrage at "gaps" or "disparities" in educational, economic or other outcomes - and denounce any cultural explanation of these group differences as "blaming the victim."
There is no question that some races or whole nations have been victimized by others, any more than there is any question that cancers can cause death. But that is very different from saying that deaths can automatically be blamed on cancer. You might think that intellectuals could make that distinction. But many do not.
Yet intellectuals see themselves as friends, allies and defenders of racial minorities, even as they paint them into a corner of cultural stagnation. This allows the intelligentsia to flatter themselves that they are on the side of the angels against the forces of evil that are conspiring to keep minorities down.
When they cannot come up with hard evidence in any particular case to support this theory today, that just proves to the intelligentsia how fiendishly clever and covert these pervasive efforts to hold down minorities are.
Why people with high levels of mental skills and rhetorical talents would tie themselves into knots with such reasoning is a mystery. Perhaps it is just that they cannot give up a social vision that is so flattering to themselves, despite how detrimental it may be to the people they claim to be helping.
Multiculturalism, like the caste system, paints people into the corner where they happened to have been born. But at least the caste system does not claim to benefit those at the bottom.
Multiculturalism not only serves the ego interests of intellectuals, it serves the political interests of elected officials, who have every incentive to promote a sense of victimhood, and even paranoia, among groups whose votes they want, in exchange for both material and psychic support.
The multicultural vision of the world also serves the interests of those in the media, who thrive on moral melodramas. So do whole departments of ethnic "studies" in academia and a whole industry of "diversity" consultants, community organizers and miscellaneous other race hustlers.
The biggest losers in all this are those members of racial minorities who allow themselves to be led into the blind alley of resentment and rage, even when there are broad avenues of opportunity available. And we all lose when society is polarized.

text: Actresses in Summer Movies 2012 From Funny to Fierce: The Lovely Ladies of Summer Movie Season by POPSUGAR Entertainment 5/18/12 4 Reactions 12 Shares Print 0 6 6 0 0 Summer is a time to kick back and relax, unless you're one of the ladies on the "fierce" end of our Summer movie spectrum. From Cameron to Charlize, we're highlighting the top leading ladies from this year's impressive crop of Summer flicks, from lighthearted to cold-blooded. So whether you'd prefer to laugh along with Mila in Ted or suit up with Scarlett in The Avengers, we've got someone for every movie lover. Check it out and let us know which starlet you're most looking forward to seeing on the silver screen this Summer! Cameron Diaz in What to Expect When You're Expecting What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cameron Diaz is one of the handful of A-list ladies with child in this upcoming ensemble comedy, but we're particularly looking forward to seeing Diaz. She's long been a top comedienne, but that doesn't mean she's above our beloved sophomoric humor — if you need a reminder, just see There's Something About Mary. Check her out when the flick hits theaters May 18. Photo courtesy of Lionsgate Pictures 1 / 10 Aubrey Plaza in Safety Not Guaranteed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Our favorite deadpan Parks and Recreation star is getting out of Pawnee to star in Safety Not Guaranteed, in which she and her colleagues (including New Girl's Jake Johnson) follow up on a newspaper ad seeking a companion for time travel. We love seeing Plaza pop up on the big screen and this is one of her biggest roles yet. The girl has the "I'm not impressed" look down to a science, but we're hoping to be impressed by her turn as a leading lady come June 8. Photo courtesy of Big Beach Films 2 / 10 Mila Kunis in Ted What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mila Kunis was joking (and rolling around) with Justin Timberlake about this time last year, and come July 13, the girl is at it again, only this time with Mark Wahlberg and a giant teddy bear in Ted. Kunis plays Walhberg's girlfriend in the movie and she is not happy about his constant companion, the crude teddy bear he brought to life as a child. Mila's been honing her comedy skills since That '70s Show, so we doubt she'll have trouble trumping a talking bear in a verbal sparring match. Photo courtesy of Universal Pictures 3 / 10 Keira Knightley in Seeking a Friend For the End of the World What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Keira Knightley is taking a break from period dramas and the high seas to star with Steve Carell in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, a comedy about two neighbors who wind up on a road trip together when an asteroid threatens the earth. That's right, a comedy — with modern clothes! Fingers crossed that we'll actually get to see her laugh for the first time since 2003's Love Actually! The movie comes out June 22. Photo courtesy of Focus Features 4 / 10 Emma Stone in The Amazing Spider-Man What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is a high school outcast in The Amazing Spider-Man, so it's a good thing he at least has the lovely Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) to keep him company. Stone is such a great comedic actress that it's hard to imagine she won't bring some of her signature quippy humor to the role. Check her out on July 6. Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures 6 / 10 Kristen Stewart in Snow White and the Huntsman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Snow White may be the fairest of them all, but that doesn't mean she can't don badass armor and defend herself. Kristen Stewart plays the classic character with no frills in Snow White and the Huntsman, and though we're dying with anticipation to see her in the role, we'll have to wait until June 1, when the flick hits theaters. Photo courtesy of Universal Pictures 6 / 10 Charlize Theron in Prometheus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The trailer for Ridley Scott's Prometheus is — wait for it — tense. While Theron appears to be commanding a team from inside the safety of a spaceship, one can only image she will at some point, face hand-to-hand combat with a giant, gnarly alien. And at that point, we anticipate she will have some amazing moves. Prometheus opens June 8. Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox Films 7 / 10 Scarlett Johansson in The Avengers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Scarlett Johansson is repping the ladies in The Avengers, out May 4. Her character, Black Widow, is the only female on a team full of helmet-headed, hammer-bearing dudes, and though they're all on the same team, we have a feeling she'll be working overtime to prove her skills to egomaniacs like Tony Stark. Thus, let the ass kicking commence. Photo courtesy of Walt Disney Studios 8 / 10 Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anne Hathaway is stepping into the paws of a few women who have filled the the role of Catwoman. Come July 20, Hathaway will face off with our masked hero in The Dark Knight Rises. Any girl who can command a massive motorcycle-like machine like that gets our respect. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures 9 / 10 Adrianne Palicki in G.I. Joe: Retaliation What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Friday Night Lights's Adrianne Palicki nabbed the role of Lady Jaye in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and judging by the trailer, she's no wallflower. She fights, she drives (dangerously), and she scales mountains. In short, she's a chick we wouldn't want to mess with, but we will go see her fight evil Cobra operatives when the movie opens on June 29.
