If Congress does not approve the U.S.-India nuclear deal, "it would damage the bilateral relationship," concludes a new Special Report. Congress should adopt a two-stage approach: formally endorsing the deal's basic framework, while delaying final approval until it is assured that critical nonproliferation needs are met.

The UN Security Council is debating how to restrict Iran's nuclear program. Western states seek a firm statement and the threat of eventual sanctions if Iran does not suspend its uranium enrichment work. But Russia and China oppose sanctions, leading to talk about economic penalties outside the United Nations' authority.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology hopes its new guidelines for IT security will beget a systems engineering process in which security is intrinsic to product design rather than an afterthought.
The guidelines, posted May 12, offer best practices for information systems security based on international engineering standards. They are the culmination of a two-year process that co-author Ron Ross said was not reactive to specific cyber threats like Heartbleed but rather underpinned by broad security principles.
"I think every ... industry will look at this a little differently, depending on what niche they occupy," said Ross, who is a fellow in NIST's Computer Security Division.
Given the Pentagon's active role in developing the guidelines, defense firms might take a particular interest in how the document is applied. NIST worked "really closely" with DOD in developing the engineering guidelines, Ross said, building on a task force formed with intelligence agencies in 2009 to standardize information security for the federal government.
With a massive federal procurement footprint, how the defense industry applies the new guidelines could serve as an example to others, he added. The final document will have an appendix dedicated to engineering processes for DOD programs.
The guidelines are voluntary and applicable to federal agencies and private firms, which will have to weigh the trade-off between compliance expenses and the branding benefits from touting NIST-compliant products. "We don't want to tell industry how to do their job … but we can ask them to use best practices and point them to things that we think are appropriate," Ross said.
He called investing in an extra layer of security for federal agencies "the heavy lift [that] may be necessary to survive in the modern world of cyber threats."
Public comments on the NIST draft document are due July 11. The agency expects to issue a final version in December.

WGN Adds Weekly Retro TV Block, Renames to WGN America; TV Tonight
Now WGN is also planning more theme weeks. The '70s week is the first of many to come. They tentatively have an '80s week planned for July and we could see ALF, Family Ties, and more shows. So stay tuned to that when it is announced! Casey Kasem will be announcing during promos and voice-overs for the theme weeks and the regular Sunday block...how cool!
We will certainly let you know if more of these shows join the actual line-up...so far WKRP is the only one joining the line-up that has aired during a theme week. I wouldn't be surprised though if Newhart is in the '80s week and IF they have a '50s week, The Honeymooners could air in that. And once again all this is not available for the local WGN in Chicago. This is for the national WGN only, the cable version.
Also, the national WGN was called Superstation WGN for many years, but this past Monday they changed their name to WGN America. So, from now on I'll refer WGN to WGN America. The new name and logo was introduced this past Monday and also with the slogan "TV You Can't Ignore." According to the Chicago Tribune, WGN America's new "eyes" logo, which resembles the one used for much of the '90s by cable's The Movie Channel, was the inspiration of Tribune Co. Chief Innovation Officer Lee Abrams. The former radio consultant wanted the channel to look more like an album cover. It resembles the eyes of the woman on Duran Duran's "Rio" album, but Abrams said he was just trying to help the channel break from traditional TV.
Sean Compton, a former Clear Channel exec recruited to tend to Tribune TV programming, meanwhile is repackaging reruns (WKRP, etc) and old movies (Rocky movies, etc) and giving away prizes via WGNAmerica.com, the new website. By the end of the summer, the plan is to introduce an original program. And within 18 months or so, Compton hopes the nation will barely recognize the channel.
We leave you tonight with a reminder. Tonight is the last of the regular season show's, as Lost will ends its season with an all-night event. At 8pm an encore of the previous episodes will air with bonus footage followed by the game changing two-hour season finale from 9-11pm on ABC. It should do big. Only other new programming on the night is summer reality series: So You Think You Can Dance on Fox from 8-10 and Last Comic Standing on NBC from 8:30-10:30pm. Sitcom wise, NBC will wraparound The Office repeats around Comic at 8 and 10:30pm. CBS will encore Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother from 8-9pm. But you should be getting Lost tonight! After tonight, the summer season will really begin since the regular season scripted series will come to an end until the new season.

I have a method that takes in numbers for a rectangle and "blanks" the pixels (turns them white) for that area. For some reason though when my program searches for non white pixels, its finding the ones i just set to white.
Why is it saying its not white when it is? I have an image that gets cropped and is saved to my hard drive. So I'm able to view the area it says isn't white, but when i open the image, its completely white as can be. So I'm at a lose as to why this isn't working. The program stops on the same pixel every time. It says the R value is 238 and I know that pixel was set to white because i stepped through the debugger and watched the pixel value go into the
bmp.SetPixel method.
This is the code for the "blanking" method:
void blankArea(int x, int y, int width, int height)
for (int i = y; i <= height+y; ++i)
for (int t = x; t <= width+x; ++t)
if (t == w)
bmp.SetPixel(t, i, Color.White);
this is the code that says that pixel isn't white:
bool allWhiteColumn (int col)
for (int i = 5; i < h; ++i)
if (bmp.GetPixel(col - 1, i).R < 248 && bmp.GetPixel(col - 1, i).G < 248)
imageBelowColumEnd = bmp.GetPixel(col - 1, i).R;
this.row = i;
return false;
return true;
Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea why it's saying the R is 238 after I set it to white. Thanks
EDIT- since I post a comment I'll edit instead. Taking the if out, did nothing. Same problem. I can't check for plain white. The program finds images from a scanner. So because a scanners "white" areas are not true white, I can not look for Color.WHITE. I'll try the bitlock though...
EDIT 2- "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." was thrown when i tried to do the example for the locking and unlocking of the bits. It threw it once it tried to copy the bits into the array. Apparently thats not allowed.
Thanks for the answers though.

Sept. 5, 2014
NEWPORT, Wales (AP) - President Barack Obama says NATO members unanimously agree on the need for immediate action against Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) militants because they pose a threat to members of the alliance.
Pres. Obama says the members agree that ISIS is a "savage organization" that must ultimately be destroyed.
The president has been pressing his counterparts at the NATO summit in Wales to join a coalition of nations that could go after the Islamic State group using military power, diplomatic pressure and economic penalties.
He says the international coalition needs to go beyond Western countries and include Sunni majority states to reject the kind of nihilism that the Islamic State projects.
President Obama also said he's skeptical that pro-Russian separatists and Russia's government will abide by a cease-fire reached Friday.
Obama says he's hopeful about the agreement between Ukraine's government and pro-Russian rebels. But he says that based on past experiences he's not sure separatists will follow through and that Russia will stop violating Ukraine's sovereignty.
Obama is also crediting economic sanctions levied by the U.S and the European Union with bringing Russia to the table.
Earlier Friday, NATO leaders agreed to form a new rapid response force to counter the threat of Russian aggression.

"Animal rights" activist Steve Hindi's name may sound familiar. He's the guy who was arrested a few years ago for harassing hunters by hovering his paraglider above their goose blinds. And more recently he's made headlines for using remote-controlled, flying spy cameras to film live pigeon shoots in Pennsylvania. Well, for the fourth time, Hindi alleges, participants in the shoot have shot down his spy drone.
Let this serve as a reminder of what we're up against: "Animal rights" activists have banned hunting bears and bobcats with hounds in the state of California. On Wednesday the bill was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown.
The California Assembly Appropriations Committee was all set to vote on SB 1221, which would outlaw the tradition of hunting bears and bobcats with hounds. But the huge crowd that showed up for the hearing, plus the immense financial impact that the bill would have on California, put the vote on hold for further consideration. It's estimated that about 300 people—most of them concerned hunters—packed the room, and dozens chose to testify. When the bill comes up for a vote late next week, let's hope the committee members recall the strong opposition to SB1221 displayed by hunters.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) owes everything, from its occasional victories to its very existence, to lying. Consider the following: It has built up a huge war chest to push anti-hunting legislation and lawsuits by convincing donors it's affiliated with similarly named animal shelters (in reality HSUS donates just 1 percent of its budget to shelters). It led Michigan voters to confuse mourning doves with white doves. It has fought to ban the breeding of hunting dogs by lumping reputable kennels in with puppy mills.
Almost immediately following the Iowa state legislature's 2011 dove-hunting bill—which gave Hawkeye sportsmen their first dove season in nearly a century—a battle over the use of traditional (lead) ammo ensued.
It's clear that while "animal rights" groups would ban all hunting practices if they could, they focus their attacks on what they perceive as its most controversial forms--issues in which they believe they can arouse public sympathy or even drive a wedge between hunters.
An "animal rights" group is claiming responsibility for vandalizing a pheasant farm last week in Scio, Ore. The group, which I'm unable to name due to my "No Press for Jerks" policy, is best known for its proclivity toward violence, and is considered a domestic terrorist group by the FBI.
After criticizing photos of a Trump African safari, the CEO of Camping World reached out to members of the outdoor media to rectify his anti-hunting statements.
Remember the "animal rights" wacko who used to hover his paraglider above goose blinds to intimidate hunters and scare away geese? (He was promptly arrested—there are laws against interfering with a hunt, after all.)
The Metro section of yesterday's Washington Post contains one of the most unintentionally hilarious news items I've ever seen. Under the headline "Fowl play" appears a photo of a 14-week-old Chessie hungrily chasing down a farm-raised drake mallard. Below that, a 9-week-old Chessie uses its paw to pin a hen mallard and lick her head. The photos, plus some that didn't appear in print, are available online. See photos 6-11 (9 and 10 were print published.)
The Washington Post ran a Potomac River duck-hunting story yesterday that's pretty misleading (as a Potomac waterfowler, I feel qualified to make that statement).
It appeared as of last week that this might be the year Virginia finally did away with its draconian ban on Sunday hunting: A bipartisan Sunday hunting bill was introduced to the senate by a northern Virginia Democrat; a pro-hunting governor was in office; and a new study found that allowing hunting on Sundays would bring $296 million and 3,927 jobs to the state.

Aviva Premiership: Matt Smith try proves the difference as Leicester beat Northampton 16-12
Related links

A Matt Smith try proved the difference as Leicester ground out a hard-fought 16-12 victory over Northampton to briefly move to the top of the Aviva Premiership table.
Smith struck at the start of the second half to push his side into a lead that they would ultimately never relinquish.
In a contest dominated by defences and rather lacking in invention or flair, the boots of respective fly-halves George Ford and Ryan Lamb played a leading role with the former kicking three penalties and a conversion and the latter four penalties.
It was Lamb who gave the visitors an early 6-0 lead as he accepted two penalty opportunities in the opening 11 minutes.
Ford was not so clinical as he fluffed his first two chances, but at the third time of asking he got Leicester back within three on 18 minutes.
It was the Tigers number 10 who had the last word of the half as he ensured his side went in on terms at the interval with a second penalty after Dom Waldouck was penalised for holding on.
The hosts then broke the defensive stalemate just over a minute into the second period as Smith touched down for the game's solitary try, the centre on the shoulder of replacement Vereniki Goneva to receive an offload after a powerful run from the Fijian.
Lamb reduced the deficit after Ford was pulled up for tackling GJ Van Velze without the ball, but three minutes later he was unable to find the target from out wide after the hosts infringed again.
Ford stretched the lead back to seven points with his third penalty after Saints hooker Mike Haywood was pinged for clattering Geordan Murphy in the air following a kick from the full-back.
But he then failed with two virtually identical penalty opportunities from wide on the left within the space of a couple of minutes and those misses looked costly when Lamb slotted his fourth to get Northampton back within striking distance with six minutes remaining.
The Saints fly-half would turn sinner though, as he was sin-binned for a rather cynical block on Anthony Allen and with him went any hopes the visitors had of avoiding defeat.Aviva Premiership. Click here to bet.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The Costa Rican Longevity and Healthy Aging Study (CRELES, or Costa Rica Estudio de Longevidad y Envejecimiento Saludable) is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of health and lifecourse experiences of 2,827 Costa Ricans ages 60 and over in 2005, the baseline collection. CRELES-2 refers to the second wave of visits in this longitudinal study, and includes the results from these visits. The first wave of interviews, or baseline, of CRELES is also available at http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR26681. The second wave fieldwork was conducted from October 2006 to July 2008, with 2,364 surviving and contacted participants. The original sample was drawn from Costa Rican residents in the 2000 population census who were born in 1945 or before, with an over-sample of the oldest-old (ages 95 and over). Vital statistics indicate that Costa Rica has an unusually high life expectancy for a middle-income country, even higher than that of the United States, but CRELES is the first nationally representative survey to investigate adult health levels in Costa Rica. CRELES public use data files contain information on a broad range of topics including self-reported physical health, psychological health, living conditions, health behaviors, health care utilization, social support, and socioeconomic status. Objective health indicators include anthropometrics, observed mobility, and biomarkers from fasting blood samples (such as cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C-reactive protein). Mortality events are tracked and conditions surrounding death are measured in a surviving family interview.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The data are families in Hingham, Massachusetts, reconstituted by Daniel Scott Smith for his PhD dissertation from printed genealogies, vital, church and tax records, and censuses, along the lines of previous French and English work (e.g. Fleury, M. and L. Henry, Nouveau manuel de depouillement et d'exploitation de l'etat civil ancien (1965) and Wrigley, E.A, "Family Reconstitution," in E.A. Wrigley, ed. An Introduction to English Historical Demography (1966)). Family reconstitution is a method for studying demographic behavior in the absence of modern censuses and vital registration, providing for both observation of demographic events as well as the population and time at risk. In his dissertation, Population, Family and Society in Hingham, Massachusetts, 1635-1880 (University of California-Berkeley, 1973) Smith refers to the data as "statistical genealogy". The data were intended to be used to examine demographic patterns, family structure and social stratification in the past, and to generalize these patterns across the New England region. This dataset includes information on 1727 marriages. Variables include information about birth, death, marriage, fertility and wealth of husbands and wives, their parents and children. Naming practices are also represented in the data. There are no direct observations of children, but rather summary-type measures of characteristics of children and the couple's fertility history. A variable indicating the quality of the reconstitution is included. However, the meaning of the variable values has been lost.

Skillet is a great band. I've seen them at a Christian concert that I went to with a church youth group. Before that I wasn't much into Christian rock or any Christian music but they were really good.

I don't see it as a good or bad thing. Religion is a purely personal choice and many people, in today's world, are indifferent to it. But their are good and bad people in every religion whether it's Christianity, Islam, or Atheism.
I don't really care what religion anybody is. Nobody should be forced to believe in God or forced not to believe in God. But as others have said, the same people that choose to not believe in a God need to realize that America was founded by men who believed human beings had natural rights that we are born with endowed by a Creator.

I respect their right to have their monument if they wish. That's why it's called freedom of religion. It means freedoms for all people to have their voices heard, whether they be Christians, Atheists, Jews, Agnostics, etc. I don't have to agree with them or their so called quotes from the Founders. I wish The Blaze would post the quotes they used from the Founders on here. As I said before when this was first reported, many Atheists have had fake quotes and quotes taken out of context from the Founders posted on billboards and signs. Then again, it's up to people to educate themselves on that.

This is a win for the religious freedom of everyone. To live in a country with true religious freedom means being able to accept that not everyone thinks, religiously, the same way you do. And that goes for people of all religions, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Atheists. The Jesus statue being there is not hurting anyone or offending anyone and isn't an "establishment" of a religion by Congress so it is not unconstitutional. If Atheists want to put up their own statue, then by all means, let them.
However, this FFRF group is starting to anger me. They have every right to speak their minds, that is perfectly fine. But to go around the country taking people and places to court just because you disagree with them is ridiculous and frankly that is unconstitutional in itself seeing as the reason they are doing it is to suppress lawful citizens from being able to have religious freedom.
June 25, 2013 at 2:23pm
I think this is a pretty good idea. As long as it isn't too "preachy." Even as a Christian, I don't like movies where I'm constantly being preached at. I could go to church for that. I think we should make more movies that have more of "moral to the story" type feel rather than just a Christian movie. But they are right, movies and Hollywood, especially in this day and age do have a guiding role in morals of people, or should I say lack of morals and having any morally themed film would be a good thing.
And for me, I would actually like to see more historically themed movies, maybe with a bit of a religious theme, but more historical.

Are you really ignorant enough to believe these are Tea Party people? Really? These people in the video probably don't even know what the Tea Party is either, let alone Eric Holder. I don't care how much you hate Tea Party people, or Republicans, or Conservatives, or even Libertarians but at least try and grow a brain and learn how to use it. Your statement is probably the most ignorant statement I've ever seen on this site, and that is quite sad, because I've seen a lot.

The sad things about videos like this is that even though they present only the most "entertaining" comments, if you combine all the videos like this out there, it still portrays a large part of the voting population of America. These people vote and yet they don't know anything about what has gone on in our current or even past governments. And the other sad part, these are mostly young people, on their shoulders and in their hands rest the "future" of our country.
I'm only 18 and I detest politics but I still choose to educate myself on current and historical events, because it is important to know and understand the things that are going on. I think a quote by Thomas Jefferson is perfect for what I'm trying to say,
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson.

I have no problem with transgender people because if that is the choice they choose, then it does not bother me. This is a child! I'm sorry but I consider it child abuse to change the sex of your child when they are that young. If the child grows up and still wants to be another gender then let them choose themselves to do that. But this is a child, how does he/she even know anything about sexuality? When I was six, I didn't know about nor did I care about sexuality.
"At 5 months, she took a pink blanket meant for her sister Lily." When I was a baby I used a blanket and carried it around with me everywhere. It had been made for my brother when he was a baby. I had only one older brother growing up, so I had both an interest in barbies and boy toys such as cars and plastic soldiers. I even wore some of my brother hand-me-downs when I was little and grew up being a tom-boy. I guess my parents should have taken me to a doctor to be "fixed?" Even now at 18, I feel much comfortable with guys and uncomfortable with some girls. But I have never wanted to be anything else but a girl and I've never felt like I was anybody else.

Good for him for telling the truth. I hated school lunches when I was a kid so my mom usually packed my own lunch. But situations are like this at most if not all public schools. Even in high school, the food sounds better than it actually is. My grandmother was a cook at an elementary school back in the 60′s and they would make home-cooked meals right in the kitchen. Now most of the cooks just get their regular deliveries of frozen food, toss it in the oven, done. That's the "healthy" food right there that kids are being fed.

Whatever little faith I had in the Supreme Court was just lost. There is absolutely nothing racist or discriminating about asking you to prove that you are AMERICAN before you vote in AMERICAN elections. And for most citizens, real American citizens, it is as simple as pulling out a drivers license or social security card. This ruling is gonna do nothing but create more and more voter fraud and allow more and more illegals to vote in this country illegally.

Maybe those fathers should have thought before they crossed a border illegally then. These people want others to feel sorry for them and I just don't. People make choices. Those fathers made choices to do something illegal and now they have to face the consequences. Other countries manage to deport people that come in illegally, yet for some reason these people here in the States want special privileges and want to be able to just completely bypass the law.

Yes, I understand that people in the military do have to give up some of their rights. I have family currently in the military so I know that very well. However, that doesn't mean that we don't need to have more people like this kid in the military who understand the Constiution and understands that civilians have the Constiutional rights and that was the point I was trying to make.

I'll probably get ranted at for saying this, but I actually agree with this woman. I believe that prayer should be allowed in schools for students that wish to do so and students that are old enough to make that decision. But a teacher forcing students, especially students that are not even old enough to get the debate of religion, should not be allowed.
I am Christian but I definitely would not want an atheist teacher telling my five year old there is no such thing as God or a Muslim teacher telling my child to pray to Allah.

While in my honest opinion I think it's your chromosomes that make you who you are, male or female, if you want to live life as a woman and that makes you happy, then go for it. You seem like a good human being with morals and that is all that matters.
It's the people at the gay pride parades that make mad. I could care less what lifestyle anyone chooses for themselves and what you do in the bedroom. That is of no concern to me. But when it's shoved down our throats at gay pride parades it just makes me mad. I really don't want to know anyone's sexuality, whether they're heterosexual, homosexual, transsexual, or bisexual. It's not something I would judge someone on so would why would I want to know it? I judge people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin, nor their sexuality or their religion.

This region is Emilia and Romagna. In short, Emilia means ham, cheese and Ferrari; Romagna means Sangiovese, the Adriatic Coast and cycling. Many more reasons to go below.
Passatelli al formaggio di fossa
This recipe is 'passatelli' pasta with formaggio di fossa cheese in a chicken stew'. It was sent to us by the Albergo Ristorante I Tre Re which is located between Rimini and San Marino. It is very easy to make once, of course, you have managed to get your hands on some formaggio di fossa or 'pit cheese'.
300 gr. grated bread, 200 gr. grated 'formaggio di fossa' cheese, 100 gr. grated parmigiano reggiano cheese, 5 eggs, nutmeg, grated lemon rind.
Sogliano al Rubicone
Sogliano al Rubicone is a small but greatly loved town in Romagna. Today, it is famous above all for its celebrated 'formaggio di fossa', or 'cheese from the pit' which sounds a lot less appetizing than it actually is. In fact, it's a genuine local delicacy.
The practice of burying cheese dates at least back to the 15th century. A legend credits the people of Sogliano with wanting to protect their possessions from the invading Aragonese troops by placing what they had underground. When peace was restored they found that their cheese had acquired an extraordinary taste. The original pits were carved out of the tufa rock near the Rivers Rubicone and Marecchia and were used for storing grain. They are typically 3 meters high and two meters in circumference.
Formaggio di Fossa Cheese
Formagio di Fossa or 'pit cheese" is produced in an area which borders Emilia Romagna and Le Marche and through which flow the Rivers Rubicone and Marecchia. The origins of the cheese were documented in 15th century and speak of the people of Sogliano al Rubicone concealing their possessions underground from the Aragonese troops who were plundering the country.
This is no doubt true but the custom of storing cheese in pits may have been happening a lot earlier (see 'Unearthing' below). Such pits were already in existence in the Middle Ages and were dug into the soft tufa rock under Sogliano to store grain and act as early refigerators. Even today they are different shapes and sizes, although a flask shape is more common, typically three metres high including the neck and a base of about two metres in circumference.
Tour the Porticoes of Bologna
Bologna Turismo produced an interesting guide to the porticoes of the city a little while back. It has the evocative title of 'Musica per Archi e Portici - note per un itinerario' in Bologna. Translated that's 'Notes for an itinerary - music for arches and porches. It's always more lyrical in Italian.
But it is certainly true that all the great composers have walked the historical centre of Bologna at one time. The guide mentions Mozart, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Rossini and Donizetti. If you know where to look, the alleys, ways and hidden paths of the city have left traces and clues to their presence.
The Land of Cagliostro
Montefeltro is the geographical territory between Urbino and the Tuscany Romagna border. The zone today actually extends into Romagna as 7 comune decided to leave Le Marche region and enjoy the administrative benefits of Emilia Romagna.
They are Casteldelci, Maiolo, Novafeltria (below), Sant'Agata Feltria, Talamello, Pennabilli and the impressive San Leo. But it is through the eyes of Dante we want to discover this ancient territory. Monte of course, means hill or mountain, but Feltro? Read on.
Fried Gnocco dough
Fried gnocco or gnocco fritto (or torta fritta) is typical of Emilia Romagna and especially the area of Reggio Emilia and Modena also known as the 'valle del cibo' where they are served with Italian salumi such as mortadella di Bologna, prosciutto di Parma, salame felino di Modena and culatello di Zibello.
Guide to Ferrara
There are certain places in Italy which just feel friendly when you first arrive there and Ferrara is one of these. Perhaps the football team keeps winning or the economy is good, or there's always something to look forward to.
The Regio Theatre in Parma
The Regio Theatre in Parma is considered the birthplace of Italian melodrama and is famous, or perhaps infamous if you are a performer, for its highly enthusiastic and critical public. It was built between 1821 and 1829 by the architect Nicola Bettoli who was commissioned by Duchess Maries-Louise of Austria. The theatre was inaugurated in May 1829 with the lyric opera 'Zaira' by Bellini.
The neoclassical portico with its ionic columns boasts decorations featuring the allegories of Fame and Lyre while the interior has four tiers of private boxes around the stalls. This contrasts strongly with the new Niccolò Paganini Music Hall built by Renzo Piano in the nearby Eridania Park. Converted fron an old sugar factory dating from 1899 the open square plan is the venue for the Concert Season of the Regio Theatre.
Guide to Bologna
Bologna is one of Italy's most interesting and active cities. It has managed to preserve one of the country's most charismatic historical city centers, while at the same time embracing the arts, technology and remaining politically progressive.
Bologna 2000 was one of the Jubilee year's most successful initiatives and the city was also European City of Culture. Bologna is called 'la dotta' (the savant one) as the city is home to the oldest University in the world. They also call Bologna 'la grassa' (the fat one) because of its fantastic food such as 'tortellini' and 'bolognese ragu'
One way to appreciate the city is to climb one or both of the famous towers; the Garisenda and Asinelli built in the 13th century.
From the top, the layout of the historical center of Bologna is clearly visible. It is formed of a series of ever increasing concentric rings heading towards the the countryside, and long porticoes.

Foreigners in no rush to buy property
HA NOI (VNS)— Five days after the capital city agreed to grant certificates of land-use rights and house ownership to overseas Vietnamese and foreign home buyers, there have been no signs that anyone is interested.
To boost the real estate-market, the Ha Noi People's Committee recently released Decision No13 that allows overseas Vietnamese and foreigners to possess house ownership certificates (red book).
According to CB Richard Ellis Vietnam, up to the end of the first quarter, Ha Noi still had an unsold stockpile of about 21,600 apartments, mostly middle and high-end apartments, an increase of 21 per cent over the same term last year.
A most revealing statistic provided by the General Department of Land Management, at present only 427 overseas Vietnamese and foreigners own their houses in Viet Nam.
And, of the 80,000 foreigners living and working in Viet Nam, only 64 own their own house.
The decision to relax land-use rights rules went into effect on Saturday, but Nguyen Tho Tuyen, sales manager of for the CEN Real Estate Group in Ha Noi said so far there had been no response.
The representative of another property agency said he had one or two transactions with overseas people in recent years, but no one had rushed forward this time.
However, he thought the decision was a step in the right direction for foreigners who had largely been excluded from the domestic property market.
Vu Cuong Quyet, CEO of Northern Green Land Real Estate and Service Joint Stock Company, said Decision 13 was good, adding that foreigners, like locals, were probably waiting for the weak sales market to go even lower.
Quyet said it should take three to six months for the policy to start working. While complicated laws delayed any purchase, he said the Government should simplify the lists of conditions needed for people able to buy houses in Viet Nam. He said this would enhance the liquidity of the market.
One Danish national told Vietnam News Agency that she wanted to buy a house to live in for the long term instead of paying monthly rent of US$2,000. However, she admitted she had given up because procedures were so complicated.
According to Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Tran Nam, few foreigners had bought houses in the past five years.
Nam said he would review legislation to enable the housing market to grow stronger by providing more favourable buying conditions. — VNS
