The Human Rights Program at the University of Chicago integrates the exploration of the core questions of human dignity with a critical examination of the institutions designed to promote and protect human rights in the contemporary world. It is an initiative unique among its peers for the interdisciplinary focus its faculty and students bring to bear on these essential matters. The Human Rights curriculum includes a core sequence and an array of elective courses that examine human rights from a variety of disciplinary, thematic, and regional perspectives. The Human Rights Internship Program provides fellowships to students for practical experiences at host organizations in the United States and around the world. Through conferences, workshops, lectures, and film series, the program brings the world to the campus, incorporating the broader community into its educational mission.
Students wishing to pursue a systematic introduction to the study of human rights are encouraged to take the core sequence in Human Rights (HMRT 20100 Human Rights I: Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights; HMRT 20200 Human Rights II: History and Theory; and HMRT 20300 Human Rights III: Contemporary Issues in Human Rights). Additional courses provide an in-depth study of various human rights issues from a number of different theoretical perspectives. In Spring Quarter 2015, Human Rights I, II, and III will be offered in Vienna through Study Abroad.
Students interested in human rights are also encouraged to attend the Human Rights Workshop. The workshop provides a forum for the ongoing human rights research of faculty and graduate students in a variety of disciplines. Prominent human rights activists, theorists, artists, and faculty from other universities are among the guest speakers at workshops. Offered every quarter, workshop sessions are open to faculty, students, and the public.
The Human Rights Internship Program offers University of Chicago students the opportunity to learn the skills and understand the challenges inherent in putting human rights into practice. The internship program is unique in its flexibility, awarding grants that afford all interns the freedom to explore their interests, whether thematic or regional in focus. The program places more than thirty students each summer with nongovernmental organizations, governmental agencies, and international human rights bodies around the world. The application deadline is in Autumn Quarter. More information is available on the program website at humanrights.uchicago.edu.
Minor Program in Human Rights
Students in other fields of study may also complete a minor in human rights.
The minor program in Human Rights is an interdisciplinary plan of study that provides students the opportunity to become familiar with theoretical, historical, and comparative perspectives on human rights. The flexibility of this course of study complements majors in any of the disciplines. A minor in Human Rights will provide a background for graduate study in an appropriate discipline where scholarship can focus on human rights or for careers that incorporate human rights advocacy (e.g., journalism, filmmaking, the practice of law or medicine, teaching, policy analysis, service in government or intergovernmental entities).
The minor requires five courses. At least two of the courses must be selected from the three Human Rights core courses (HMRT 20100 Human Rights I: Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights, HMRT 20200 Human Rights II: History and Theory, HMRT 20300 Human Rights III: Contemporary Issues in Human Rights). The remaining courses can be selected from among the Human Rights core and approved upper-level Human Rights courses.
Students must receive the program adviser's approval of the minor program on a form obtained from their College adviser. This form must then be returned to their College adviser by the end of Spring Quarter of their third year.
Courses in the minor program may not be (1) double counted with the student's major(s) or with other minors or (2) counted toward general education requirements. Courses in the minor must be taken for quality grades, and more than half of the requirements for the minor must be met by registering for courses bearing University of Chicago course numbers.
NOTE: Lists of qualifying courses are prepared both annually and quarterly by the Human Rights Program. For up-to-date information, visit Room 207 at 5720 South Woodlawn Avenue or humanrights.uchicago.edu.
Core Courses
HMRT 20100. Human Rights I: Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights. 100 Units.
Human rights are claims of justice that hold merely in virtue of our shared humanity. In this course we will explore philosophical theories of this elementary and crucial form of justice. Among topics to be considered are the role that dignity and humanity play in grounding such rights, their relation to political and economic institutions, and the distinction between duties of justice and claims of charity or humanitarian aid. Finally we will consider the application of such theories to concrete, problematic and pressing problems, such as global poverty, torture and genocide. (V) (I)

HMRT 20200. Human Rights II: History and Theory. 100 Units.
This course is concerned with the theory and the historical evolution of the modern human rights regime. It discusses the emergence of a modern "human rights" culture as a product of the formation and expansion of the system of nation-states and the concurrent rise of value-driven social mobilizations. It proceeds to discuss human rights in two prevailing modalities. First, it explores rights as protection of the body and personhood and the modern, Western notion of individualism. Second, it inquires into rights as they affect groups (e.g., ethnicities and, potentially, transnational corporations) or states.

HMRT 20300. Human Rights III: Contemporary Issues in Human Rights. 100 Units.
For U.S. students, the study of international human rights is becoming increasingly important, as interest grows regarding questions of justice around the globe. This interdisciplinary course presents a practitioner's overview of several major contemporary human rights problems as a means to explore the utility of human rights norms and mechanisms, as well as the advocacy roles of civil society organizations, legal and medical professionals, traditional and new media, and social movements. The course may be co-taught by faculty from the Pritzker School of Medicine. Topics may include the prohibition against torture, problems of universalism versus cultural relativism, and the human right to health.

Human Rights Courses
HMRT 20116. Global-Local Politics. 100 Units.
Globalizing and local forces are generating a new politics in the United States and around the world. This course explores this new politics by mapping its emerging elements: the rise of social issues, ethno-religious and regional attachments, environmentalism, gender and life-style identity issues, new social movements, transformed political parties and organized groups, and new efforts to mobilize individual citizens.

HMRT 21400. Health and Human Rights. 100 Units.
This course attempts to define health and health care in the context of human rights theory and practice. Does a "right to health" include a "right to health care"? We delineate health care financing in the United States and compare these systems with those of other nations. We explore specific issues of health and medical practice as they interface in areas of global conflict: torture, landmines, and poverty. Readings and discussions explore social determinants of health: housing, educational institutions, employment, and the fraying of social safety nets. We study vulnerable populations: foster children, refugees, and the mentally ill. Lastly, does a right to health include a right to pharmaceuticals? What does the big business of drug research and marketing mean for our own country and the world?

HMRT 22004. Human Rights in (Post)Conflict Settings. 100 Units.
This course is designed to introduce students to the specific human rights issues that come into play in the wake of authoritarian regimes, civil wars, and other violent conflicts. Over the course of the quarter, students will learn about the specific legal mechanisms governments, international agencies, and NGOs use to address the challenges of (post)conflict peacebuilding, debate the goals and best practices for addressing human rights after violent conflict, and evaluate the application of such policies from different perspectives, including those of the state, victims, ex-combatants, and the dead. Students will apply these lessons through policy and analytic papers and presentations for a case study of their choosing.

HMRT 22005. Technologies of Retribution and Reconciliation: Human Rights, Democracy, and the Search for Accountability and Truth. 100 Units.
How should governments and societies address legacies of wide-scale human rights violations perpetrated by prior authoritarian/totalitarian regimes? Does there exist a moral or legal imperative to punish such acts or is it simply better to and move on with the project of building a stable democratic successor regime? In the event that a regime is unable or unwilling to address legacies of past human rights abuses, what role can and should the international community play in seeking justice for aggrieved communities?
This course explores these questions through the lens of various "technologies of retribution and reconciliation" that have developed in a variety of countries around the world since the second half of the 20th century, including national and international criminal trials, truth commissions, lustration, restitution, and commemoration. In doing so, it traces how the evolution and increasing institutionalization of the "international human rights regime" (and international criminal justice, more generally) has influenced the domestic-level implementation of these "technologies of retribution and reconciliation." Finally, in addition to exploring how various state, non-state, and civil society actors attempt to reconstruct and rebuild social norms and community in the wake of episodes of state criminality and mass violence, this course assesses how the design of these various "technologies" and the actors involved in their creation and administration affect their performance, paying particular attention to instances in which competing normative goals are at stake.

HMRT 23090. Indigenous Human Rights and Development in Latin America. 100 Units.
This course examines and historically contextualizes the intersections of recent tendencies in development intervention and indigenous human rights throughout the Latin American region. It does so through a focus on how two contemporary transnational tendencies have converged particularly sharply in today's Latin America: what Bolivian scholar Xavier Albó has called "the return of the Indian"—describing the region's dramatic surge in indigenous movements around questions of empowered political identity and human rights at the end of the twentieth century—and what Ananya Roy has labeled "the financialization of development"—characterized by the idea that economic development should best be achieved through investing in the poor, and an increasingly complex entanglement of development initiatives with credit institutions bolstered by the argument that credit itself is a human right. To what extent do indigenous human rights mean the right to develop, or to not? What is it about Latin America that has made it a crucible for theories of and policies on development and indigenous rights? What might exploring the way these themes have come together in Latin America tell us about the region itself? And what does the Latin American context teach us about what it means to "develop," what it means to be "indigenous," and what it means to have "rights"?
Instructor(s): E. Hirsch Terms Offered: Spring 2015
HMRT 23301. History of Humanitarian Intervention. 100 Units.
The post–Cold War world has been seen a proliferation of so-called humanitarian interventions as well as of doctrines and agreements that guide them. R2P, the Responsibility to Protect, is the most prominent example for the latter. What do we make of these interventions for humanitarian ends? Should we denounce their backers as covert imperialists or their detractors as callous fellow-travelers for genocidaires? Should we give up humanitarian reasoning? There is no self-evident answer. However, there is quite a bit of material to work with. First of all, why this sudden rush toward humanitarian intervention? How do these interventions relate to the older (Cold War) history of (UN) peacekeeping? Second, forced humanitarian interventions have a surprisingly long history that makes a difference, if we want to understand the present. This is a history of interstate protection for (religious) minorities, a history of muscular, imperial meddling in other people's and, especially, in the Ottoman Empire's affairs, a history not least of securitizing relief operations, and only eventually a history of protecting against humanitarian and human rights abuses. In all of these instances it is a history of legitimating violence as the lesser evil in the face of grievous abuses and man-made disasters, which would suggest that the future of global politics is not with peacekeeping, but with internationally sanctioned warmaking.

HMRT 23302. Humanitarianism: History and Theory. 100 Units.
Humanitarianism in its most general form is an ethics of benevolence and sympathy extending universally and impartially to all human beings. Humanitarians understand the world as an affective community and insist that the world can be transformed and, if not transformed, suffering and ill-treatment can be alleviated by fearless vanguards of compassion. Lately, the entire concept has come under attack as deceptive, fraudulent, and useless. If anything, so it is argued, humanitarianism has failed, if it has not actively worsened humanitarian crises. Humanitarians promise relief and deliver a mess; they consort with the worst abusers of human rights; they have never changed anything. Well, one of the questions we will ask is what we make of this critique in light of the historical record. What do humanitarians do? What is their effect and when and where are they effective? Is it true that abolitionists have achieved the abolition of slavery? What about the struggle for social justice? About famine relief? About refugee aid? However, rather than chasing one case after another, we will focus on the humanitarian rationale for action and how it differs from other such rationales, say, Pacifist, Marxist, or liberal rights-based approaches.

HMRT 24701. Human Rights: Alien and Citizen. 100 Units.
This course addresses how international human rights doctrines, conventions, and mechanisms can be used to understand the situation of the "alien" (or foreigner) who has left his or her country of origin to work, seek safe haven, or simply reside in another country. If human rights are universal, human rights are not lost merely by crossing a border. We use an interdisciplinary approach to study concepts of citizenship and statelessness, as well as the human rights of refugees and migratory workers.

HMRT 25210. Anthropology of Disability. 100 Units.
This seminar undertakes to explore "disability" from an anthropological perspective that recognizes it as a socially constructed concept with implications for our understanding of fundamental issues about culture, society, and individual differences. We explore a wide range of theoretical, legal, ethical, and policy issues as they relate to the experiences of persons with disabilities, their families, and advocates. The final project is a presentation on the fieldwork.

HMRT 26150. Human Dignity. 100 Units.
This advanced undergraduate course will examine the notion of human dignity, with a special eye towards its role in contemporary human rights discourse. The course begins by tracing the historical development of the idea of human dignity both in philosophy and in law, and from there it moves on to examine contemporary usages. Questions to be examined include the following: What is the meaning of "human dignity"? Is it basic to morality? What is the relationship between human dignity and human rights? Does respect for human dignity require the abolition of capital punishment and/or the permission of assisted suicide, among other practices? Is it an inherently religious idea? What grounding might it have in secular ethics?

HMRT 26151. Human Rights and Human Diversity. 100 Units.
It is no secret that human beings frequently disagree on matters both large and small. Our neighbors hold religious beliefs that we do not. They disagree with us on scientific matters, such as the reality of climate change. They have different life priorities. And they have moral intuitions that often differ strikingly from our own. At the level of whole communities, these differences seem to grow even starker. The highly visible ideological conflicts between the nations of Western Europe and North America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia on matters of religious freedom, freedom of expression, democracy, gender equality, gay rights, and the rights of children serve as a constant reminder of this. This is the reality in which defenders and practitioners of human rights have to operate. And it is therefore important to think about how these disagreements and differences should impact both our understanding and implementation of human rights, if at all. That is the aim of this course.

HMRT 26500. Human Rights in Russia and Eurasia. 100 Units.
This course focuses on the political economy of human rights in Russia and Eurasia. We will study how international norms have been "imported" by post-Soviet states. How have regional politics and cultures shaped how rights norms are understood and how they are protected in practice? Why do many post-Soviet countries fail to protect the rights of their citizens? Using knowledge of the history, political culture, and social practices of the region, we will work to identify those rights issues with the most potential for positive change and those more likely to remain enduring problems.

HMRT 26700. Civilians and War. 100 Units.
In this course, we will study the history of war and forced migration. We will focus on how particular historical crises have led to the development of human rights protections for people displaced by war. What were these crises and how have they shaped the way we define the rights and status of refugees? How have these conventions been adapted to reflect the challenges of the World Wars, the Cold War, guerrilla warfare, and insurgency? We will study both developments in warfare and strategies for protecting civilians during war.

This course is an advanced seminar in the history of refugees and digital archives. We will study the development of humanitarian and human rights protections for refugees, stateless people, and other categories of displaced persons. We will discuss the various ways that state and non-state actors have understood and justified their responses to the forced movements of people. In class discussion, we will place this historical experience in dialogue with the needs of contemporary humanitarian efforts and human rights organizations. As part of this work, we will discuss the use of digital archives for research as well as the development, creation, and information architecture of digital archival collections.

HMRT 27061. U.S. Legal History. 100 Units.
This course focuses on the connections between law and society in modern America. It explores how legal doctrines and constitutional rules have defined individual rights and social relations in both the public and private spheres. It also examines political struggles that have transformed American law. Topics to be addressed include the meaning of rights; the regulation of property, work, race, and sexual relations; civil disobedience; and legal theory as cultural history. Readings include legal cases, judicial rulings, short stories, and legal and historical scholarship.

The course discusses current theories of vulnerability and passivity in relation to human rights. It pays particular attention how human rights and social justice can be thought of in relation to people with severe disabilities, animals, and others who are not traditionally thought of as subjects of justice. We will discuss philosophical texts by Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, John Rawls, Martha Nussbaum, and others, and sociological texts by scholars like Bryan Turner and Tom Shakespeare.

HMRT 28602. Health Care and the Limits of State Action. 100 Units.
In a time of great human mobility and weakening state frontiers, epidemic disease is able to travel fast and far, mutate in response to treatment, and defy the institutions invented to keep it under control: quarantine, the cordon sanitaire, immunization, and the management of populations. Public health services in many countries find themselves at a loss in dealing with these outbreaks of disease, a deficiency to which NGOs emerge as a response (an imperfect one to be sure). Through a series of readings in anthropology, sociology, ethics, medicine, and political science, we will attempt to reach an understanding of this crisis of both epidemiological technique and state legitimacy, and to sketch out options.

HMRT 29001. The Practice of Human Rights. 100 Units.
The seminar uses an interdisciplinary approach to give students a variety of conceptual frameworks to integrate their field experience into their academic program. Course material focuses on two major aspects of the internship experience: analysis of the work of "social change" organizations and an evaluation of the student's personal experience. The first half of this course is dedicated to readings and discussion. Students then give presentations that are subject to group critique and discussion.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Human Rights Program internship or equivalent experience in a rights-focused advocacy organization and consent of instructor.
HMRT 29504. Gender, Crime and Human Rights. 100 Units.
The course uses an analytical framework to help students understand the specific context in which gender based crimes occur. The interplay between the legal and social dimensions, as well as cultural factors, will be examined through a series of local and international case-studies. The multi-dimensional aspects of gender specific crimes will be addressed highlighting the importance of risk assessment for both the victims and offenders. Variations in institutional and community responses in countries experiencing or transitioning from conflict will also be examined. The relevance of international human rights standards and the current discourse on human security will be a central focus of the course.

HMRT 29506. Artists Look at Women and War. 100 Units.
Throughout history, women have played a number of roles in wartime. Female warriors like Boudica, the Celtic queen who made war on Nero's Rome and the female Ashanti army of ancient Africa have become legends. Florence Nightingale and countless other women went to the battlefront as nurses, translators, and spies. Women have often been victims of war crimes. Among them are the thousands of Asian women forced to be "comfort women" to Japanese troops during WWII, and the Bosnian women interred in "rape camps" during the Balkan wars of the 1990s. More recently American women have become full-fledged members of their armed forces, serving for the first time on the battlefield.
This cross-disciplinary course will use an historical lens to examine how artists have portrayed women in wartime, and how those portrayals have evolved over time. We will discuss whether or not visual art can serve as an advocacy tool and a deterrent to war and the crimes committed against women. The course will include a practicum component in which students will produce a final creative work, either in visual art or writing, about an issue to which they are especially drawn.

Historical Traveler Reviews Pier 5 Hotel Baltimore
Not a magical experience!
Pier V was one of my worst hotel experiences. We asked for a non-smoking room... the room smelled like smoke. On our 2nd night at this hotel, there was a "hotel function" in the ballroom... at 2am there were about 150 very loud, obnoxious people outside my room window waiting to get cars from valet parking. The fan in our room barely made enough "white noise" to drown out the sound so we could sleep! The Magial Family Package included an "Express Continental Breakfast" that took about 30-40 minutes to be delivered by the waitstaff every day. The only thing nice I have to say about this hotel was check-in & check out was efficent & the concierge tried her best to be friendly. PLEASE go somewhere else if you can. I wasted my money.
Nice location but overpriced
This Hotel is in an excellent location for a weekend stay at the Inner Harbor, close to all major attractions. I agree with some of the previous reviewers that the rooms could be cleaner (the carpet in our room was due for cleaning), but overall, the Hotel was decent. Yes, I have stayed at Holiday Inns that were as nice, but it's tough to get price, location, and "Disney" level quality all in one location. So if convenient location is important to you, this is the place.
One warning, though...parking is very expensive and not included with your hotel room cost. Be sure to ask about parking rates before you book.
Great meeting
We recently attended a conference at the Pier 5 Hotel. Let me start by saying that is was a very enjoyable experience. From the time we checked in to the time we let, it seemed like everyone bent over backwrds for us. I was here with my family and their front desk went out of their way to make sure my family was well taken care of while I was in the meeting. To this day My daughter still talks about it. Job well done.
We recently stayed at the Pier 5 Hotel. What a fantastic experience.
Everyone went out of their way for us. The rooms were large and very colorful. Loved the decor of the lobby. We will be back.
Best in Baltimore
I highly reccommend this hotel. The rooms are beautiful, there is much to do in the Inner Harbor. when we checked, we were treated like royalty.
This is a mediocre hotel. The "haborview" consisted of looking out over a dirty waterway, NOT the harbor. Staff was OK. Rooms OK, nothing special. Eurasian restaurant was great. There are much nicer hotels in Baltimore with actual "harborviews", better service, more amenities.
Terrible Stay - Terrible Hotel
We also had a terrible stay at the Pier 5 Hotel. This was one of the WORST HOTELS I have EVER seen. We chose this hotel based on its website - which is very decieving. It led us to believe that this was a First Class Hotel. We have to agree with the other two reviewers, that we have stayed in nicer Holiday Inn's or other hotels off the interstate. The rooms & furniture were shockingly dirty. The entire place needs remodling and revamping as its falling apart! The staff consisted of 50% helpful people and then the other 50% were quite rude. The breakfast buffet was terrible and not replentished. If staying in Baltimore - try another hotel and stay clear of this one.
Pier 5 Hotel - Harbor Magic??? Anything But magical!! Worst hotel in Baltimore!
We just returned from an overnight stay in this hotel.This has to be the absolute WORST hotel in Baltimore...We had planned a weekend there, but after one night had to leave.We purchased a Harbor Magic, Romance Package at $269/night...What a joke! The room was DIRTY. I have stayed in cleaner roadside hotels!Many of the items in the room did not work, i.e. the phoneand air conditioner.The staff was pleasant enough - but can only work with what they have.I DO suggest the McCormick and Schmick's resturant.that is the ONLY thing this hotel has going for it.
Best Time of My Life
Our stay was absolutely fabulous. I have never stayed in such a wonderful hotel with such useful staff. I don't know what the guy from Dallas was talking about, but our stay couldnt possibly be any better. Highly recommended
Don't Do It
If it is the last place to stay in Baltimore, don't go to Baltimore. It was that bad. Motel 6 is cleaner and the staff more helpful and friendly.

Why is wheat so high priced?
Wheat skyrocketed to $12 to $24 per bushel depending on the variety a few years ago. But wheat prices have since come back down to earth on the spot market.
As of today, one 60 pound bushel of wheat cost $5.25, so the cost per pound is about 8.75 cents. OK, this is the price per bushel for large contracts on the commodity exchange. But even then, should a 50 pound sack of wheat jump from a pro rata $4.38 for 50 pounds up to $32 to $55 for 50 pounds as many bulk sellers retail the wheat for? That is a HUGE, HUGE markup. Bottom line...wheat jumps from .0875 cents per pound up to .64 cents to $1.10 per pound.
I can buy decent stone ground whole wheat for less than it cost to buy grain and grind it myself. But we have to remember this was how it was with many poor countries that the World Bank has taken under its thumb.
Haiti for example. They used to be totally self sufficient rice producers then the US imports subsidized rice and their farms can't compete so go bust. They lose all rice production abilities and now are dependent on the US for its rice. Almost same scenario with Jamaica and their milk production.
Anyway, what is your take on all this? Is all this markup due to the trendy survivalists craze for wheat? Or are wheat dealers just trying to get in on the Wall Street / Big Bankers greed wagon?
How to compete with this is not to even try. Move into specialty markets with the rare verities that sell for premium prices. They are not commercially feasible due to the small demand for them; the demand would be large enough to make the small scale growers profitable. This is true with the small retailerÂs carrying high quality items that the Box Stores find unprofitable.
The problem with these 2nd world countries is lack of functional governments--being lead by dishonest dictators dressed in 'Democracy' Clothes pilfering the meager government coffers and pockets of the people.
It would be a good thing for a group of highly qualified business people to help these poor nations to compete in the new and ever changing world markets. Sort of a Job Corps for retired business people.

At 1:23 of the electricute video, Nick pressed the arm of R2D2, which, by paint, is not connected to the rest of the robot, how does this work?
In figure 2, you conclude
0xC (Decimal 12) is divisible by 3, thus 0x5CAF is not divisible by 3.
I believe you meant to say the opposite, because 0x5CAF is indeed divisible by 3, it becomes 0x1EE5.
There is just no reasonable way to ensure the safety of the spectators.
Sure there is, look at hockey or nascar, just put all spectators in a giant domed chain-link fence, and call it say… THUNDERDOME! But in all seriousness, maybe a seperate event for the aerial guys in another location on another day?
+1 for the non-gps idea!
sweet! This going to be so valuable as time goes on.
As far as "If you have any ideas for allowing anyone to write reviews without having a bunch of bogus reviews in the system, please comment below!" It's possible people like myself, have received some sparkfun products from a competition, hacker event, etc, and could have a valuable review - immediately I think of implementing a sort of "proof you have it" like a code written on the PCB silk screen like a serial number - but this is only going to work for red boards, and isn't backwards compatible. Instead I would require an account, with a purchase history > 0, to write a review for something not in their purchase list, and maybe add a "Where did you get this" field that has a minimum amount of words requirement as well.
This is the earliests post I've ever seen from you guys! EST here, I'm used to having to wait until NOON for more sparkfun goodness!
EDIT: Holy cow great deals!
I spent 10 years as a wood flooring mechanic, for proper stain "soaking" you need an evenly sanded surface. Depending on the wood, 80-100 grit finish sanding is usually what does the trick. The hard and soft grain differences of pine will still mean different colors, but it should not be blotchy like the milled surface will cause. The stain should be wiped on, left to sit for a few minutes (unless it is ebony - sometimes a full day is required), then wiped off. Good choice on Minwax, still my favorite brand of stain. Also, great desk build!
random product is picked and explained how it works
This could also involve a demonstration, or a reuse of said random product in an unusual way, like some of the amazing pranks you guys have done over the years.
Knowing those peltier TECs, I see exactly why you call it the dangerous box, because the TEC will overheat and destroy itself in short order without and heatsinking on whichever side is currently the hot side.
I think brick and mortar is just too much overhead, seriously. I envision a successful fork of this idea would be like RedBox and Bitcoin ATMs, a Sparkfun Vending machine, at the more popular electronic hacker/maker spaces and some universities. They could even easily convince customers like us (the hardcore ones that read every article and comment, hah) to do the stocking for them, in return for small ($50-100?) digital vouchers of free products, (that could be used online or in the vending machine)
The best way to do this would be with bitcoin so the guy who stocks the machine doesn't have to deal with money. But alas, we don't wanna run into legal issues with sparkfun registering to be a money transmitter in every state, hopefully before this idea completes itself, the laws will clear up and Lawsky will stop using Windows XP.

Navigon Adds Crowdsourced Traffic to GPS App
Navigon has added the optional Traffic Live service to its MobileNavigator iPhone GPS app.
Navigon has added the optional Traffic Live service to its MobileNavigator iPhone GPS app. Traffic Live offers users real-time traffic reports to calculate faster routes and avoid congestion.
Users see on-screen alerts for accidents, construction, and other road incidents, along with degree of severity and the speed of traffic flow. The reports leverage real-time speed data from over 1.3 million drivers including other app users who opt in to participate, plus commercial fleets and regular drivers with GPS systems.
Currently, the reports work in the U.S. but not in Canada. Navigon Traffic Live costs $19.99, and works as an in-app purchase from within MobileNavigator; no monthly fees are leveraged after the fact. After the first four weeks, Navigon intends to increase the price to $24.99. MobileNavigator itself costs $89.99. Originally posted to AppScout.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Good location
The room was very small. Didn't have a phone to make local calls.
Comfy beds, love the coffee french press on the tea tray, colorful, quiet and heavy drapes to pull closed for a darkened sleep
small floor space
Honoring our request, we were placed on the top available floor and it had a fantastic view of the city. Our room was great and the staff was excellent.
The location was not ideal, it was about a 15 minute walk to the city center and the hotel had a confusing final approach through some dark alleys and a driveway without a walkway.
Clean, modern facility.
Restaurant experience was underwhelming. Hotel staff was young and relatively inexperienced. Had trouble with my credit card (chip card) but didn't tell me until I called because the 'fridge was locked and TV inop. No taxi cabs avail for early AM.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Stanford got hot, Miami was not, and the Hurricanes go home
OMAHA, Neb. -- At the end, Miami's multi-talented, top-ranked baseball team looked just like its coach Wednesday night at the College World Series.
Sapped by the flu.
The Hurricanes -- with three players who were selected in the first round of the Major League draft earlier this month, and three others that got taken before the fifth round -- got handcuffed by three unheralded Stanford pitchers and eliminated by the Cardinal 8-3 in Rosenblatt Stadium.
Since the NCAA went in 1999 to its current format of seeding the top eight teams entering the postseason tournament, Miami's 1999 club is the only No. 1 seed to win the championship.
"We had everything that you need in a good ball club," junior right fielder Dennis Raben said. "We had good pitching, a good bullpen. Offense and defense. We just weren't hot out here."
The Hurricanes got off to an encouraging start against right-handed freshman Danny Sandbrink, as Blake Tekotte and Jemile Weeks both reached on infield hits that would eventually produce a run.
But Sandbrink would yield nothing else before giving way to right-handed senior Erick Davis in the fifth inning. By then, the Cardinal led 3-1, and Sean Ratliff's 22nd homer of the season in the bottom half would ignite a game-breaking four-run outburst.
Miami entered the Series with a .322 team batting average, but in three games here hit just .276.
What's more, the 'Canes were just 5-for-32 (.156) with runners in scoring position.
"We really hadn't been hot at the end," Jim Morris said of a club that won 53 games to tie for the most in his 15 seasons at Miami. In the middle of the season I felt like we could beat anybody at any time.
"... We didn't get it going out here. The team that wins out here is not necessarily the best club, it's the team that gets hot."
Stanford is one of two teams that made it to Omaha minus a top-eight national seed. The other, Fresno State, is 2-0 in the other bracket and one win from advancing to the championship series. The Bulldogs await the winner of Thursday's North Carolina-LSU contest.
Meanwhile, the Cardinal need to defeat Georgia twice to make the final.
"They outplayed us, really, in every phase," Morris said. "They've gotten here by beating really good people, so no question in my mind they'll be [in] a battle."

quirky, happy, glass half full candidates please proceed!
I'm new to the whole concept of online dating, so I'm going to make this brief. I am a pretty typical New Yorker - I work a lot, I have a lot of friends and between those obligations / commitments and my large family (I'm one of six), I don't have a ton of time to meet quality guys...that's why I'm here. About me: As the baby of a big family, I grew up looking up to my brothers and sisters and absolutely loving life. I think I have carried that over into my adult life and my friends would probably tell you that I'm part NY girl-about-town, part good midwesterner, and part serious career chick. I like to think that it's a fun mix and I have enjoyed my time in Manhattan immensely (I've been here for seven years this summer). I consider myself creative - love to read, visit museums and keep up with the latest in pop culture including art, films and fashion. My favorite thing in the whole world, however, is to spend time with my friends and family, including a close group of friends here in the city. I'm looking for someone who is self-assured, confident, fun, funny and nice. I've dated enough in Manhattan to realize this isn't as easy as it might sound, but I have faith that he's out there. I would love to meet someone who is happy by himself, but who is looking to share his life with someone else...sort of the "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" mentality.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Bowling, Dancing, Hockey, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
travel - italy, london, LA, Napa, Vail, Miami, South Africa NYC-based - cafe habana, cafe gitane, beauty & essex, the rose bar, hogs & heifers (needs to be the right kind of night...but it can be legendary)
Georgetown University, Washington, DC
Favorite TV shows - I pretty much love anything on HBO - Boardwalk Empire is a new favorite there. 30 Rock and The Office are amazing, and I will never forget the chicken impressions from Arrested Development (why was it cancelled?!)
movies, museums, travel, pilates, brunch, dinners and nights out with friends.
Vanity Fair, NYT, New York Mag, and currently Game of Thrones

$475.00 17 bids <1m
*** NOTE: I just heard from a potential buyer that he called his John Deere dealer, and this tiller WILL NOT work on his 345. Before bidding, please contact your local dealer to see if the Model M03260X will work on your garden tractor. I know it worked on a JD 285 because that is what I owned. I have no personal knowledge whether it works with other models. Please check with a John Deere dealer before bidding! (note added on Monday, 4-4-2011)
