Nats' bats look to click in twin bill vs. Mets
With Mejia making '13 debut, pressure on Zimmermann, hosts
It could've ended in embarrassment.
The Nats fell apart Thursday, allowing four runs in the ninth against the Pirates and setting themselves up to get swept in a four-game series for the first time in four years.
But Bryce Harper saved them. His youthful, fearless swing in the bottom of the ninth carried the ball deep to left-center field and over the wall to give the Nationals a 9-7 win. It was his first career walk-off homer, and it might have saved Washington's season.
Now the 49-53 Nationals stay home to host the 45-53 Mets in a four-game series over three days this weekend, starting with a day-night doubleheader on Friday. While the Mets have waddled below .500 for much of the season, their minus-27 run differential is slightly better than the Nationals' minus-29.
With expectations minimal, it appears the Mets have the Nationals up against the wall.
"I think when things get tough, your true colors really come out," said Stephen Strasburg, who took the loss Wednesday despite throwing eight innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits while fanning 12. "It's all about what type of person you are. Are you the type that's going to sit there and look in the mirror and do everything you can to be better out there? Or are you going to start pointing fingers?
"I don't think there's a single guy in the clubhouse who's going to start pointing fingers. Every single guy in here is responsible, and we all want to win just as bad as any other team out there."
The Nationals' nine-run outburst Thursday was a highlight during a 14-game stretch in which they've scored 41 total runs (2.9 runs per game).
"We're trying to battle, we're just trying to get things going right now," said center fielder Denard Span, who has a .319 on-base percentage this season. "It may not look like it on TV or when you guys are watching us, but everybody's giving it the best [effort] they can."
For Game 1 on Friday, Jordan Zimmermann will take the mound after throwing the shortest start of his career on Sunday, lasting two innings in his first start since sitting out the All-Star Game with neck stiffness, which he believes has gone away.
"Some games, you get away with a few mistakes, and some games, whatever you throw up there is getting hit hard," Zimmermann said.
Jenrry Mejia will make his 2013 debut on the hill for Game 1. Pitching with bone spurs in his elbow, according to ESPNNewYork.com, Mejia will need offseason surgery, but he still feels comfortable going up to 110 pitches.
"I'm still happy because I believe in myself," Mejia said. "If I don't believe in myself, who's going to believe me?"
Ross Ohlendorf gets the spot start in Game 2, matching up against Matt Harvey, who was about as dominant as he's been all season in seven shutout innings of the Phillies his last time out. Harvey's stats continue to impress: 8-2, 157 strikeouts in 137 innings, 2.23 ERA.
Nationals: Werth his salt
Jayson Werth has five homers in his last five games. He has 11 homers and 31 RBIs since returning from the 15-day disabled list on June 4.
"He has made some adjustments," manager Davey Johnson said. "... His approach has been pretty good all year. I think the main thing with him, it feels like his left wrist is healthy. He has been impressive in [batting practice]. He is in a good spot."
Mets: Young suffering from dramatic play
A catalyst at the top of the order since coming over from the Rockies, Eric Young Jr. left Thursday's 7-4 win over the Braves with right knee pain.
Young had already injured his leg during a horrific collision with Braves pitcher Tim Hudson on Wednesday, when Young stepped on the back of Hudson's right leg when aiming for first base with the contact fracturing Hudson's ankle on the spot.
Young was visibly shaken up and stood by Hudson's side until he was carted off the field.
Worth noting
• David Wright showed no ill effects from hitting himself in the head with his own bat on Wednesday. He was in Thursday's lineup and went 2-for-5 with a triple.
• The Nationals have struggled to hold runners on the basepaths this season, having allowed 65 stolen bases in 74 tries, having caught a Major League-worst 12 percent of prospective basestealers.

Jeter stands in spotlight as Yanks open in Houston
Iconic shortstop begins farewell season for revamped Bronx Bombers
It will be Opening Day for everyone at Minute Maid Park, but in the spotlight will be a certain shortstop wearing No. 2 in gray, playing for the visiting Yankees in Game No. 1 of his last 162.
There's plenty of anticipation to go around for both the Yankees after their extravagant offseason and the Astros as they head into what they hope is a breakthrough season, but this is where Derek Jeter's farewell tour begins, and that's a storyline that's hard to miss.
Houston will have no shortage of legendary talent of its own on display prior to the opener, with Nolan Ryan throwing the ceremonial first pitch to Craig Biggio -- two Astros icons getting things started for 2014.
And, officially, Jeter will be honored by the Astros prior to the second game of the season Wednesday. Still, the shortstop with the five World Series rings no doubt will be the focus of much of the attention from pregame introductions onward as two American League clubs become the last to start their seasons tonight.
The Yankees legend heading toward Cooperstown has some unfinished business in 2014 after missing most of 2013 to injury, and he retains his usual nonchalance about these being his final steps in the game.
"I've just tried to not look forward to everything being over," Jeter said recently. "If you call that soaking it in in Spring Training, I guess so. But I'm just trying to enjoy my time and not looking forward to it being over. That's the best way to put it."
Everything begins for both clubs with slimmed-down lefty CC Sabathia making his sixth consecutive Opening Day start for the Yanks, his 11th overall, against Astros right-hander Scott Feldman, making his first appearance for Houston in his second career Opening Day assignment (2010 with Texas) -- a matchup of 6-foot-7 pitchers.
With his sixth opener on the mound for the Yankees, Sabathia ties Lefty Gomez, one short of a club record shared by Whitey Ford, Mel Stottlemyre and Ron Guidry.
"I think they're all exciting," said Sabathia, the 33-year-old who had a career-worst 4.78 ERA last season but went for a 1.29 ERA in 21 spring innings. "I think it's exciting just because of the fact that we got Carlos Beltran and Mac [Brian McCann] and [Jacoby] Ellsbury. It's always a different feeling that you get. I think this is a year that we can try to make the playoffs and hopefully make a run at winning the title. Those things are exciting. I put last year behind me and just keep going forward."
Feldman's road to this Opening Day start included a couple of changes of uniform. A year ago, Feldman was the No. 4 starter for the Cubs, and then was dealt to the Orioles for the stretch run. After a combined 12-12 mark with a 3.86 ERA in 30 starts, a season that compares favorably with his previous peak in 2009, the 31-year-old hit the free-agent market and signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the Astros.
Feldman will be the fifth Opening Day starting pitcher in the past five years for Houston, and he knows what stands out about this one.
"It's Derek Jeter's last Opening Day, so that's cool," he said.
Yankees: Big offseason over now
It began with the acquisition of McCann, a veteran catcher with seven All-Star seasons in Atlanta behind him. It went to a whole different level with the acquisitions of Ellsbury for $153 million over seven years and the veteran Beltran. And then it went off the charts with the Masahiro Tanaka sweepstakes.
The Yanks owned the offseason. Now it's time to see if they can do the same with the regular season.
Once more, a word from the Captain:
"I like the guys that we have," Jeter said. "I've said that; we have a lot of talent here. We've got to stay healthy. It seems like every team says the same thing. That applies to us as well. We need to stay healthy, because there are always going to be injuries, but you've got to try to limit those injuries. But yeah, I think we have a lot of talent here, a lot of optimism. The bottom line is, you have to perform on the field, but I like the guys that we have."
Astros: Change for the better?
The way Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow sees it, young players will have to step up and veterans will have to shine, but this is a year that will feature a better brand of Astros. It starts with a roster that is looking at just nine players who were there Opening Day a year ago, and it will have to continue through the marathon season ahead.
"We're going to have a much-improved product," Luhnow says. "The fans are going to be able to see tangibly by coming to Minute Maid this thing is working."
Of course, that starts with this opening series, and the opening month of the season. In an AL West that is stacked with talent, the Astros head into their second year in the division knowing that to improve on their 51-111 record in 2013, it would begin by improving on an 8-19 start before May 1.
"A fast start is important," Luhnow said. "It's a marathon, not a sprint. As Bo [Porter likes to say], it's 162 sprints, and we'll try to win as many of them as we can."
Worth noting
• The Astros have lost 15 in a row entering the season, including a three-game sweep by the Yankees in Houston to end 2013 -- so that means it's six straight home games for the Astros against the Yanks.
• The Yankees hold the all-time edge at 13-2 for the regular season, including winning all six in Houston.
• Overall, the Yanks are 63-47 and the Astros are 24-28 on Opening Day.

Three years ago, a Fordham report on charter school autonomy highlighted several states that "tie the hands of charters with their overly restrictive statutes." Maryland was in that Hall of Shame, and the recent action of one charter-sponsoring school district shows that the state has much to do before it can make it out.
Last month, the soon-to-be-opened Frederick Classical Charter School had prepared to offer jobs to nine teachers who met the school's requirements to provide instruction in the "trivium" of classical education—grammar, logic, and rhetoric. But the Frederick County school district quashed those plans and told the charter that it had to hire at least six district teachers who needed placement because they were either returning from leave or were laid off from under-enrolled schools.
When Frederick Classical president Tom Neumark asked to interview these district employees, he discovered that school board policy prevented him from even learning their names. "It's not that we don't want [them]," Neumark told the Frederick News-Post. "It's that we don't know them. We want to talk to them and assess if they're a good fit for the school."
This trip down the rabbit hole was inevitable given the abysmal law that governs charter schooling in Maryland. It's not just that Maryland charter schools cannot escape collective bargaining agreements; they also lack the legal protections that assure their autonomy from the districts that sponsor them. The Fordham report Charter School Autonomy: A Half-Broken Promise gave the state an F...
The best thing one can say about Illinois's new moratorium on virtual charter schools is that it could have been worse. The folks at the Illinois Network of Charter Schools talked lawmakers down from a three-year ban on any new charter with "virtual-schooling components" to a one-year moratorium on new online schools outside of Chicago. The bill the governor signed last week also demands policy recommendations from the state's charter school commission that could lead to quality and cost-efficient online learning.
But did lawmakers want a moratorium to better understand the effects of virtual schooling, as some explained, or was this the result of a power grab by influential suburban school districts worried about the prospect of losing students to charters they never before had to fear?
The objection to a single virtual charter application from eighteen Chicagoland districts points to the latter. When a nonprofit group named Virtual Learning Solutions asked to open the Illinois Virtual Charter School @ Fox River Valley, reactions from superintendents in Aurora, Geneva, and other districts ranged from "no" to "hell no" (the school would have been managed by K12 Inc.). Eventually, a Democratic representative...
Charter schools have captured nearly half of the public school market in Washington, D.C., but they have struggled to find suitable buildings to carry out their mission. That changed this week when D.C. mayor Vincent C. Gray announced that the District would give charter schools the chance to lease as many as sixteen former or soon-to-be-closed public school buildings. Charter advocates were pleased.
This move was long overdue. Charters have been attracting more and more of the public school market share in D.C. every year, but they have been grasping for adequate space to accommodate their burgeoning enrollments. Arguably, the D.C. charter sector would be even larger today if the city hadn't hoarded vacant properties, prompting even the best charters to scrounge for makeshift facilities and place students on waitlists due to lack of space.
These challenges are familiar to charter schools in most cities. Despite the surge in charter school enrollments and the support the sector receives from both political parties, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools has documented that charters still commonly rent or own building space that is much smaller than that occupied by their traditional public school peers or that lack kitchens, gymnasiums, libraries, or science and computer labs.
The same could be said of even the best-performing charters in D.C. Until the high-flying Washington Latin Public Charter Schools got the chance to move into a former district school, it had been operating on three different campuses and forcing older students to walk...
Private education as we have known it is on its way out, at both the K–12 and postsecondary levels. At the very least, it's headed for dramatic shrinkage, save for a handful of places and circumstances, to be replaced by a very different set of institutional, governance, financing, and education-delivery mechanisms.

Consider today's realities. Private K–12 enrollments are shrinking—by almost 13 percent from 2000 to 2010. Catholic schools are closing right and left. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia, for example, announced in January that forty-four of its 156 elementary schools will cease operations next month. (A few later won reprieves.) In addition, many independent schools (day schools and especially boarding schools) are having trouble filling their seats—at least, filling them with their customary clientele of tuition-paying American students. Traditional nonprofit private colleges are also challenged to fill their classroom seats and dorms, a situation to which they're responding by heavily discounting their tuitions and fees for more and more students.
Meanwhile, charter school enrollments are booming across the land. The charter share of the primary-secondary population is 5 percent nationally and north of 25 percent in two dozen major cities. "Massive open online...
Over on the Ohio Gadfly Daily, Fordham's Jeff Murray has a meditation on what it's like to lose the school-choice lottery. And it vividly reminds us that despite a flourishing school-choice movement, many families still struggle to access the one school they want for their children—even a public school.
Jeff and his wife have been reaching into their "middle-income pockets" to send their daughters to a "middle-of-the-road" private school because their public school options have been substandard. Until recently. An impressive STEM high school planned to expand to middle grades, and it was just what the Murray family wanted.
So it was for hundreds of others. And so a lottery would pick the lucky few from the many who longed for what Jeff called the Holy Grail, the best possible educational foundation for their kids. "We know we'd found it," he writes. "And we can't get in."
Jeff has left us a lot to ponder, and not just because he has left us a powerful, personal reflection. What happens, he asks, when you don't have the means or the knowledge of the system? What happens when all your choices are bad?
What happens, indeed?
The Justice Department has taken school-voucher policy to unstable ground. Last month, three agency attorneys sent a letter to Wisconsin officials declaring that the Badger State hasn't done enough to protect the rights of students with disabilities who participate in voucher programs in Milwaukee and Racine. But the prescription contained within that letter would effectively entangle religious schools in the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), from which they have largely been exempted.
The trouble started two years ago, when the American Civil Liberties Union and Disability Rights Wisconsin complained to the Justice Department that private schools in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program were violating the ADA. They argued that the schools were failing to accommodate disabled students, discouraging some from attending and improperly expelling others. (NB: These groups did not make these claims under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (i.e., special education); private schools are clearly exempt from its requirements.)
The Justice Department didn't determine whether Milwaukee's private schools had violated the ADA, but its civil-rights attorneys did tell the Wisconsin schools superintendent, Tony Evers, that he "must do more to enforce the federal statutory and regulatory requirements that govern the treatment of students with disabilities who participate in the school choice program." Evers, according to the letter, must also count all of the disabled students enrolled at voucher schools and determine how many of them end up suspended or expelled. And he must advise these schools about all of their ADA obligations (such as...
The Louisiana State Supreme Court, in a lopsided 6–1 decision, declared that Governor Jindal and the Legislature illegally diverted money from public schools to fund the state's voucher expansion. In its apolitical decision, the court said, "we will not per se address the efficacy of the school voucher or similar education programs." The decision was not on vouchers as a matter of public policy but rather on the constitutionality of how the new vouchers are funded.
The legislation in question, Act 2, intended to fund student vouchers with the Louisiana "Minimum Foundation Program" (MFP). But the Louisiana Constitution of 1974 is clear concerning the MFP: It is a funding formula that "shall be used to determine the cost of a minimum foundation program of education in all public elementary and secondary schools as well as to equitably allocate the funds to parish and city school systems." Further, the constitution says, "the funds appropriated shall be equitably allocated to parish and city school systems." This is why Justice John Weimer wrote, "state funds approved through the unique MFP process cannot be diverted to nonpublic schools." Weimer was correct in later describing the constitution's language...
After twenty years of charter schooling, the research literature is voluminous, but much of it is contradictory and confusing—not to mention politically motivated. With this in mind, Columbia University professor Priscilla Wohlstetter and her colleagues set out to separate the empirical wheat from the ideological chaff and review more than a decade of charter school literature to show how charters have progressed. While the authors can, through their synthesis of high-quality studies, tell us much about accountability (more schools close due to mismanagement than from their failure in the marketplace) and the unintended consequences of charters (re-segregation, but not widespread, and not unanticipated), the book is important especially for telling readers what we still don't know about the charter sector. Consider the key issue of performance: Most charter research analyzes student achievement, but it generally consists of student snapshots and is devoid of the large-scale, random-control studies that are the gold standard. As a result, we're left with contradictory evidence on how well charter students perform and inconclusive findings on how various factors like autonomy affect school outcomes. But by identifying this gap of knowledge, the authors map out new possibilities for research: How are charters using their autonomy, and what keeps them from exercising their freedom? Which academic programs are most successful at raising student achievement, and do they differ much from those offered at traditional schools? Now that charter movement is older and larger (2.3 million children currently being educated), questions such as these will become...
The Louisiana Supreme Court may have ruled that Governor Bobby Jindal and the Legislature cannot fund the state's voucher program with the same "minimum foundation" constitutionally reserved for public schools, but that doesn't mean that Jindal has to scrap his effort. Just after the 6–1 decision Tuesday, Jindal pledged to keep the program alive by funding it elsewhere in the budget. About 8,000 children had already been promised vouchers for next year.
But it's hard to imagine how the program could grow much more than that if the governor has to find budgetary leftovers to fund it. Every year since 2008, the governor and lawmakers have had to scratch and claw for funds to bankroll the New Orleans voucher program, which was the precursor to the statewide voucher effort. In 2011, the New Orleans program got $9 million from the general budget, which amounted to less than $5,000 per student then.
By contrast, Louisiana's K–12 public schools received $3.4 billion from the Minimum Foundation Program (MFP) in 2011, which came to an average $8,763 per pupil.
And that helps explain why Jindal sought funding for the statewide voucher program through the MFP. The governor can't fund reform adequately if he has to seek out dollars—and struggle annually with state lawmakers—that don't go into the entitlement spending for school boards.
Moreover, he shouldn't have to. Students receiving the Louisiana voucher have to take the same standardized tests as those administered at public schools, and the schools they attend can...
When the Ortonville Montessori charter school outside of Flint, Michigan, offered to buy a vacant building from the Brandon school district for $100,000, district officials weighed whether it made more fiscal sense to take the money now or demolish the building as planned and avoid losing possibly more students—and more state funding per pupil—to the charter. Last week, the Brandon Board of Education opted for demolition.
It didn't matter that the building has sat empty for years and that the district has tried unsuccessfully to sell it to other buyers. It didn't want to sell to the Ortonville charter because, as Brandon superintendent Lori McMahon casually told a local reporter, "It would be competition for us."
While extreme, the challenges facing Ortonville focus attention on the struggles for adequate facilities that still bedevil most charter schools. Now twenty years old, many charter schools still commonly rent or own building space that is much smaller than that occupied by their traditional public school peers or that lack kitchens, gymnasiums, libraries, or science and computer labs.
That's the assessment of a survey of charters in ten states released last week by the Charter Schools Facilities Initiative, a joint project of the Colorado League of Charter Schools and the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. The Initiative has sought to highlight the persistent capital needs of charter schools and their inequitable treatment and has developed policy recommendations to provide long-range and systemic solutions.
Despite the surge in charter school...

Earlier during the festival, Jakey's one-time BFF Matthew McConaughey was also in Park City. Remember when they used to bro-down all the time on their bikes with Lance Armstrong? It was 2006. Full Story
Sheryl talks about Lance but doesn't
Have you noticed that all of Lance Armstrong's loves look the same? Or, more precisely, they all look very similar to Kristin Armstrong, his first wife? Sheryl Crow and Tori Burch in particular have the same face. Lance is a very, very good liar and bully, but you know what he doesn't get enough credit for? Lance, amazingly, fell exclusively for very discreet women. Full Story
NYE Waste of Money
Denise Richards and Lance Bass co-hosted a party at Prive Planet Hollywood in Vegas. Like, who would hire Denise Richards? And… who would actually GO to an event hosted by Denise Richards??? I would rather grab takeout at McDonalds – quarter with cheese, supersized fries, AND a filet fish to wash it all down – in my jammies, with greasy hair and a face full of pimples, and wine dispensed from a spout on a box than waste a good dress and an even better pair of shoes ringing in the new year with Denise Richards. Full Story
The Players Played Out
Disappointing…but really no surprise. Three months is about right for lust to wear off anyway. In the end, the battle between two practiced players ended in deadlock. Us Weekly is reporting that the summer romance between Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong is over. Full Story
Singles and Doubles Tennis Hotness
My cousin Cat spent part of the day yesterday texting me about Rafa Nadal. She's a hardcore tennis fan and has been a hardcore Rafa quiverer forever. Needless to say, Cat was bursting with pride for her boyfriend…along with all of Spain. Rafa returned home today to a hero's welcome. Full Story
Six Weeks…
And still together. Evidently both Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong are still enthralled with the game. And, of course, with each other. The two are currently in LA, all like domestical and sh*t, going to a bakery in the morning, picking up household items in the afternoon, and then heading out for dinner last night. Full Story
The Players Play Tennis
Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong all over each other this weekend on a tennis court in Brentwood yesterday, clearly still fuzzy in the head from all the love they've been making. Seems like summer makes her especially boy crazy. Last year she had a hard time keeping her hands off of Dax Shepard in a grocery store, remember? Love this love match. Full Story
The Anti-Owen
He's a pompous prick but they do look good together, non? Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson, continuing to love it up all over NYC, photographed last night for the first time holding hands. I can totally see the attraction. Have you read his books? There's something about his arrogance, it's dangerously sexy. Full Story
Kate & Lance: Family Weekend
It's been almost a month since word got out that they're dating but it looks like player vs player has turned into something more serious. At least that's the assumption considering they're not just f&cking, they're also spending some quality family time. First – a few days together Full Story
Kate Shampoo
Kate Hudson heading to The View today in a gorgeous off white dress looking blonde and bubbly. Kate's been pimping her own line of organic shampoo around town – ad is attached. Stella McCartney, one of Kate's besties, also has her own line of animal friendly skincare though my friend and producer Laura tried it out and said it turned her face all wonky. Full Story
Kate & Lance spotted
Just today at lunch. Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong in NYC having lunch with his kids... Thanks Christine! Full Story
Kate Supporting Stella
They've been friends for a long time. You know that Oscar monstrosity Kate wore to the Oscars was designed by Stella who was with Chloe at the time, right? Do you remember? Now that is true friendship. So it was no surprise to see Kate Hudson yesterday at the Stella McCartney Spring 2009 presentation in the West Village. Full Story

I fail to see what the Montana Democrat's problem is. Why not give them the polling stations? I admit Montana is larger than many countries and long, long drives are a normal part of existence there, but still, 100 miles seems pretty damn excessive.
You and I often disagree, M.S., but I have to say I purely enjoy this line:
"and Ottoman documents are irrelevant because you know, satraps and harems or something"
Though I note a fair few on the Left seem to say that the Founders' words should have little or no weight because of this or that injustice that we can today afford to dwell on.
This is a matter of the difficulties involved in trying to square the circle of "might makes right," of trying to bring physical force within the ambit of civilization. I think it's a ridiculous attempt, frankly. Law is generally pretty ridiculous when its efforts at intellectual consistency go too far and unduly tie the hands of civilized people in dealing with uncivilized, violent ones.
Forcing undesirables to drive 100 miles to vote is not a problem, it was the solution. Same as red-lining or gerrymandering. The intelligent design of malevolent, racist, aristocrats.
Except as the article said, they aren't really "undesirables" for Democrats considering they would almost certainly vote Democratic, which is why the situation is especially bizarre.
I did catch that bit in the article but thanks for pointing it out :)
Wow ! Seriously. Straight from the hip clarity.
The Economist regularly does Linda McCollochs on issues opposing global banks and indigenous taxpayers who pay the bankers' bills. "Voting on the reservation" is a universal title.
Why would you think that Native Americans are democrats. The only Native Reps I remember were republicans. And historically it was the republican part that was pro-Indian.
Certain tribes religious rights to use peyote?
Catch 22 isn't it? Darn I keep falling into these today!
Religion = republican
Drugs = democrat
Of course, historically it was the Republican Party that was pro-blacks. And very much vis versa.
Which just demonstrates that, these days, looking at party histories before 1970 is a waste of time. The parties today simply aren't what they were in the first half of the 20th century (and before).
For what it's worth, I remember Tom Daschle's survival in the senate being explained by high support among Indians and Ben Campbell was a Democrat wasn't he?
English has a useful distinction: "peoples" versus "persons". A people may have lived on some land for 500 years, but no person ever has.
It's uncontroversial that persons have rights. But does a people have rights, above and beyond the rights of each individual person? The latter concept is much more nebulous, which partly explains the moral complexity of cases like Palestine, Ireland, and Native American tribes in the US.
There are hundreds of thousands of Palestinian individuals who live on land which their specific family has resided on for centuries. I'm not talking about the generalised rights of a people to a territory; I'm talking about an individual Palestinian woman having the Israeli army uproot the olive trees her family has been farming for hundreds of years, confiscating the land for Jewish settlements, and saying the Palestinian woman has no claim to the land because she can't prove title with any document that an Israeli magistrate will accept.
Ok, if you're talking about settlement grabbing right now then I completely agree it's not morally complex at all.
I don't like public officials opining on the record on matters outside their jurisdiction. If it's true that Montana's Secretary of State has no authority to establish election offices on reservations, maybe she's right to want to stay out of it. The DOJ can opine if it believes federal law was violated. I think it was wrong for Holder to state yesterday that Stand Your Ground laws should be repealed.
Having said that, I find it hard to believe that an elected official failed to take a popular stand because of a principled belief in the separation of powers. So I agree that the Montana official left the impression that she had something to hide.
The only thing I can think about Holder's comment is that it is a retirement pre-announcement.
Maybe she's just, as confused as I am, about the whole set up :-D.
You'd think if you're going to take peoples land and put them on reservations you'd at least be more clear about there voting rights within the state in which you've put them.
Of course public officials shouldn't opine publicly on matters outside their jurisdiction. But the DOJ is responsible for upholding federal law, which includes civil rights. If, for instance, the AG believes Stand Your Ground laws lead to violations of civil rights, he can and should say so.
In that case, he's a bad lawyer and should resign.
But to run for what, I wonder. That's what usually seems to happen, and Holder doesn't seem too old.
RIght. All I really think about his commentary on stand-your-ground is that I can't remember another USAG commenting on state laws that were constitutionally affirmed. It seems like such a weird thing to do that I figure he's decided to go.
Smart insight, too. It does have a ring of platform to it, doesn't it? All I can offer is whatever he runs for, I betcha it's as a Democrat.
The mental picture of him trying for the Republican nomination for something with that commentary makes me grin.
Got some clarification. Reservations votes are counted in the district in which they reside for the House and the State for the Senate and they do pay federal taxes.
On the other hand I'm still kind of fuzzy on how the states are separate from reservations but also represented by there respective representative. It seems like a conflict of interest in situations where the state and reservations are at odds. Nothings perfect I guess... D.C. I'm looking at you.
Also, this is my favorite kind of M.S. post. Long on philosophy and deep in intuition. Smart. Thank you.
Apparently, we still have the three comment limit. For the record, I'm a troll not a spambot.
Damn the comment limit. And I always considered you more of a giant lobster.
La Chèvre! Good to hear from you, young man!
Good to be heard, old guy! I just couldn't resist the opportunity to clumsily swipe at you.
Bounces right off my carapace.
Any friend of Doug's is a friend of mine. (Though I can't help asking, do you come with le cracker?)
Well, I'd say this is in some ways about the post-ethnic state which is arguably only about 50 years old and how the mechanisms for maintaining traditional ethnic states have grown obsolete.
Also, I think when people feel their cause is just, their weapon is something small and simple like a sword, pitchfork or ballot. When people know their cause is unjust the weapon is a complex sophistry delivered in a meeting or on a blog.
If Ms. McCullough were a hateful woman, she would have suggested a conference on voting rights for the native peoples of Montana. At least give her credit for not sponsoring a conference.
I'm just thinking about the implications of this situation and what they might be. By a tribe being granted voting rights within a state for state elections they would voluntarily be giving up the self determination that they've been granted. I keep feeling like I'm completely missing something.
As for the three comment limit. They hit me on my first post. You think TE is trying to tell me something?
At least the disenfranchisement of DC residents is acknowledged as a partisan issue. No idea what the actual justification could be. I think it's allowed in Idaho, so not sure what the difference is.
DC residents still pay federal taxes don't they? This is a fun post by M.S. that should prove to be very enlightening!
Yes they do, and are actually directly governed by Congress, which makes their lack of representation all the more galling.
"directly governed by Congress"
~ That seems like a blessing and a curse! :-D
Where's the blessing part?
Well... Congress controls the purse strings. Theoretically DC has an unlimited access to the printing press.
Well, technically Congress can do the same for any other city. Only DC actually needs Congressional approval for its own local budget (raised entirely from local taxes). Double taxation without representation, if you will.
Point well made!
I haven't finished reading and I'll probably be back with a different comment but for now I want to say M.S. is wrong: The most interesting thing about that video is that the defendants are a Custer, a Frankenstein and Robert E. Lee. How could they lose?
I honestly thought the names were a joke. I thought MS was being hyperbolic too but then I read the link to the article which contains a quote from Linda McCulloch not shown in the video. Maybe MS thought it was in the video.
"I care that the people at this table have equal access, and what is in my power as secretary of State to do, I can do. What I do not have the authority over is establishing county clerk offices. That authority belongs to the county governing body, the county commissioners. We will support and assist any county whose governing body has made a decision to open a second county clerk election office that can offer services such as registering voters and issuing absentee ballots. You have my unwavering commitment to that."
A technical excuse masking something else? Maybe. It's debatable.
Yeah, I thought I must have missed the hypertechnical excuse. But the overall post is pretty valid.
I'm probably wrong so forgive me but doesn't the BIA handle the logistics of this sort of thing? Indian Reservations have tribal sovereignty so, as is my understanding, the reservation doesn't exist in Montana the state but as an independent entity in the continental United states.
I know that voting is carried out in tribal facilities where I'm from and I thought that was coordinated through the BIA by the tribal council itself. After all, tribes can create there own laws. Why wouldn't they be able to set up there own voting booths? Again, my understanding could be wrong.
I guess I haven't really thought this threw thoroughly with the electoral college and all...
"At the foundation of the constitutional status of tribes is the idea that tribes have an inherent right to govern themselves—the power is not delegated by congressional acts. Congress can, however, limit tribal sovereignty. Unless a treaty or federal statute removes a power, however, the tribe is assumed to possess it.[22] Current federal policy in the United States recognizes this sovereignty and stresses the government-to-government relations between Washington, D.C. and the American Indian tribes.[23]"
After reading this, it seems to me that the relationship is still evolving and pretty complex. For example, this says that because they aren't represented they aren't taxed. But I know for a fact that taxes are taken out of there pay checks. Maybe that's because the Native Americans I know live outside the reservation even though they work for the reservation.
So does that mean that Native Americans are being taxed without being represented? If my views on privacy haven't set off alarm bells I'm certain that the comment I'm making now will. que sera sera...
I think the issue here is for tribe members who are Montanans.
I'm going to take a crack that under the 14th amendment to the constitution that while the reservations might be federal and autonomous, the people living in them are citizens of the U.S. and the state in which they reside.
Reservations are a little weird though; tribes are considered autonomous from the state and court cases between state citizens and tribal citizens must be tried in federal court for that reason.
My own understanding is confused but I think that's because the current status between tribes, states and the federal government are still confused.
Like voters in the District of Columbia?
I'll have to dust off some Tony Hillerman and get back to you with a scholarly response.
Thanks for that! :) I admit I have no idea how all this works and I'm afraid I'd need to spend quiet a lot of time trying to untie this knot if I wished too. Now I understand why my father gets paid so well and I should probably shoot him an email to figure it out. I'm sure he'll respond something like, "leave it alone son; ambiguity of the law is a good thing for the interests of the tribe.".
They're taxed if they work in the US. If they work on a reservation however, they are not taxed. The same applies to property taxes, sales taxes, etc.
Reservations occupy an unusual place in US law as all Indians are considered US citizens despite technically living in a sovereign state and despite the land not being part of the US, it is still considered "American" for purposes of natural birthrights.
Reservations also have some nice exemptions from state (and many federal laws) that many bright tribes have taken advantage of -- for example, in jurisdictions where gambling is illegal, massively profitable casinos are based on tribal land. There are some tribes where every member receives annual checks upwards of $100,000 from communal profit-sharing.
DC is another weird situation because the federal capital was deliberately established outside of any state to preserve its autonomy, but in doing so, the founders failed to address what to do if the capital itself became a large city.
Maybe, just maybe, Linda McCulloch is aware of at least some of the legal minefield surrounding the status of Reservations, and that this particular issue may open a wholly unexpected can of worms...
I checked with a Director on the reservation and I was informed that they do pay federal taxes but not state. However, even if they work on the reservation but live outside the reservation then they're required to pay the state taxes.
Are you sure this applies at every reservation? I could have sworn that for people living and working on reservations, at no point do they have to pay taxes to the US government at any level. If they live or work outside though, they do.
I could be mistaken though, but I was always under the impression it was treated as a sovereign country for tax purposes.
I'm not sure of anything really. The man I'm asking does payroll for a government agency within the respective tribe so I trust that he knows the tax system. He's also involved in the legislative system, BIA and congress so he knows far more than I.
As far as other tribes go I'm not sure why one would be taxed while another is not so again I don't really know. All I know is that the individual I've asked has stated that tribal members do have to pay federal taxes.

It's hard to believe it's been nearly three weeks since Bri returned home to Cleveland, Ohio. She was the first-ever Fight Boredom zine resident and I kinda just want her to come live with me forever. The first day of the residency was basically a dream date – we shared cupcakes, drank sodas by the canal, went on a trip to the post office, dyed our hair together, and indulged in some girl-talk late into the night. The kind of friendship we have, I can't even explain it. She was one of the first people that I became close to when I started making zines, and we've been pen pals for something like eight years now. Even though it's extremely rare that we see each other in person, we're still the kinda pals that can finish each other's sentences. So you can just imagine what it's like when we get together – the huggin' and gigglin' and silliness. And we're not afraid to cry together, either.
It took us a few days to really get going on things. All we wanted to do was hangout hangout hangout forever. Together, we tidied up the Tulip Farm and picked up an old desk from Claire, which now sits in the living room (aka the residency bedroom) with a typewriter on top. We talked about zines and capitalism and riot grrrl and misandry and punk shows and relationships and Tumblr and all that important stuff. We hung out at the canal a lot (you can seriously find me there most days) and were just really happy to be together. Then we'd realize it's the end of the day and oh shit we better work on our zines.
This is the first-ever zine to be created as part of the Fight Boredom Zine Residency. Bri spent two weeks with me in Montréal, where she wrote on the themes of family, grief, and loss. This issue begins with a piece on taking a not-so-guilty pleasure in listening to My Chemical Romance (more specifically, the concept album The Black Parade, whose songs are centered on themes of death and afterlife), which leads into more heavy musings on the death of her father. I'm not gonna lie, I got a little misty-eyed the first time I read it. Bri writes on losing her father at thirteen years old, and the realization that from here on out, she will have lived more of her life without him than with him. She writes of childhood weekends spent in Detroit, where her father's drug addiction was hidden from her only until she'd threatened to move away from her mother in Cleveland. Typewritten family histories accompanied by photographs, and a closing piece on bein' a lady at a certain punk venue in the city, which I also wrote about here. This is everything that I want out of a perzine, and I'm not just saying that because Bri is my bestie.
On June 21st, we held a launch party for Bri's new zine – the Summer Bummer Twee Picnic & Reading. We'd been writing about nothing but total downers and decided to make something cute and fun out of it. It was definitely the most hectic day of the residency – we were still folding and stapling zines five minutes before the event was meant to start! And it was the hottest day ever and we'd been baking cookies and cupcakes for hours and it was just totally silly. The Tulip Farm was basically an oven. But we got our things together, packed a picnic and headed down the street to the park. There were already a few people gathered on benches and lounging in the grass. We chose a nice spot under a tree and everyone joined us and sat in a circle.
I agreed to read first, but I was really nervous and kept putting it off. I hadn't yet decided what to read. In keeping with the theme, I was gonna read about a total bummer of a breakup (see Culture Slut #25), but upon re-reading, I realized there was no way I could say any of that aloud. I would cry for sure. Instead, I read about med studies, and then I read a piece en français, which actually wasn't written by me but for me. A rejection letter, which I'd previously written about here. I will one day include it in a zine. I've been thinking about crushes and vulnerability and feminist oversharing and that kinda junk and it was kinda fun to put myself in such a weird position. Vulnerability on so many levels. I was essentially reading a letter outlining the reasons someone had rejected me as a partner, and I was doing it in a second language that I am not (yet) perfect at. It was awkward and adventurous.
Claire read next, from Unicornzine (which I will totally distro the moment it gets photocopied again). I was already in love with the zine, but hearing those words out loud was so much more powerful. Anxious queers forever.
Finally, it was Bri's turn. I'd already read the rough draft of Motor City Kitty and let's be honest, it made me cry a tiny bit. I wondered how she'd react to reading it aloud. I knew it would be difficult. I tried to send encouraging vibes her way and was probably just smiling like a total dork. She read, and we listened intently. More and more people showed up throughout the reading. The circle got bigger. By the time she looked up, there were nearly fifty people gathered in the park. We stuck around for an hour or two, talkin' to friends and strangers, givin' away zines, and encouraging everyone to come dance with us at Squalor later on.
The next day, we borrowed my cousin's van, filled it up with punks, and headed to Toronto for the anarchist bookfair. There were a few minor disasters, but I've chosen to remember the free coffee, tasty food, and awesome hangs. And check out our sweet ride below!
Bri took the Greyhound home from Toronto and since then we pretty much send each other messages every day to say, "I miss you!" and "Why don't we live in the same city?" We have a theme song now. She is an absolute doll and I love her.

The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect public health. (From EPA's AIRNow)

Kokoschka et la musique
La liaison entre la peinture et la musique dans l'œuvre de Oscar Kokoschka Pendant toute sa vie Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) a fréquenté les musiciens les plus célèbres de son époque tels que les compositeurs Arnold Schönberg et Alban Berg, le chef-d'orchestre Wilhelm Furtwängler ou le violoncelliste catalan Pablo Casals dont il a fait de nombreux portraits. La Bibliothèque Centrale de Zurich conserve d'innombrables échanges de lettres entre Kokoschka et ses amis musiciens dont les extraits les plus importants se trouvent pour la première fois publiés dans cet ouvrage. Pour ses amis, l'artiste a conçu d'incroyables décors et costumes pour de célèbres opéras présentés également dans cet ouvrage grâce au concours de la fondation Kokoschka. On retrouve, par exemple, les décors réalisés pour la Flûte enchantée présentée en 1955 à Salzbourg et en 1965 au Grand Théâtre de Genève, une suite de pastels qui sont des projets pour les décors du Bal masqué de Verdi réalisés pour le célèbre festival Maggio Musicale Fiorentino de 1963 et un carnet de croquis pour une mise en scène de Fidelio de Beethoven. Ses textes ont aussi inspiré différents opéras et chants. Son amour malheureux avec Alma Gustav Mahler, par exemple, est à l'origine de sa pièce de théâtre Orphée et Eurydice qui fut mise en musique par le compositeur autrichien Ernst Krenek. Sa peinture, évidemment, est le reflet de ce contexte bouillonnant. Quelques tableaux à l'appui, ce catalogue présente également le sujet favori de l'artiste: la description de l'effet de la musique sur l'âme humaine. 21 x 24 cm, 128 p. 44 ill. couleur et n/b broché avec rabats coédition avec le Musée Jenisch, Vevey 25 euros

Art nouveau
The 'new art' first made itself felt around 1895, in architecture, furniture, glass, ceramics and the other applied arts, and fell into eclipse after World War I, until its rediscovery in the 1960s. Alastair Duncan tells the story of the meteoric rise and fall of Art Nouveau, introducing the main personalities – Mucha, Gallé, Lalique, Tiffany and many others. 21.00 x 14.90 cm Paperback 216pp 170 Illustrations, 32 in colour First published 1994
Interior Design Since 1900
Every style of interior since 1900 is charted in this concise, wide-ranging and indispensable critical survey – from the Arts and Crafts movement to the present day, including discussions of Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, the Modern Movement and Art Deco through to Hi-Tech and green design. Interior design in the twentieth century saw many changes in direction, all documented here, with the emergence of professional 'interior decoration' and its evolution into interior design. Interiors, domestic and other, are explored and placed within their social, political, economic and cultural context. First published in 1990 as Interior Design of the 20th Century, this new and expanded edition is brought up to date with a chapter on sustainable design, focusing on public spaces such as hotels, offices, factories and shops. 21.00 x 15.00 cm Paperback 256pp 217 Illustrations, 72 in colour First published 2008
The Sources of Modern Architecture and Design
The turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging - Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing - with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations - the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.
Ornament and the Grotesque - Fantastical Decoration from Antiquity to Art Nouveau
The discovery of Nero's Domus Aurea in Rome at the end of the 15th century revealed an unfamiliar, playful style of classical ornament that captured the imagination of Renaissance artists. For the first explorers it was like entering a series of caves or 'grottoes', which is why they called the style of the painting on the walls and ceilings 'grotesque'. The first book to reveal this vast treasury, Ornament and the Grotesque brings the story up to the late 19th century and shows how it led eventually to Art Nouveau. Far removed from the formal language of traditional classical ornament, what they saw was something essentially decorative and only semi-serious: parodies of classical mythology, fantastic hybrid monsters, men hatching out of eggs, images of perverse eroticism, impossible architectural visions, giant butterflies, mischievous putti, monkeys, sphinxes and nightmare insects - a repertoire of uninhibited imagination where nothing was taboo. Inspired by this discovery, Italian artists, including Perugino, Signorelli and Mantegna, immediately started to copy the style. Raphael's decoration of the Vatican Logge in the early 16th century made the grotesque into a Europe-wide fashion, and it soon became an integral decorative feature of the most lavish residences, incorporating ceramics, textiles and tapestries. 32.50 x 26.80 cm Hardback 308pp 246 Illustrations, 242 in colour First published 2008
Art Nouveau Jewelry
Jewelry was one of the purest, and most successful, expressions of Art Nouveau style, using sensuous organic forms to create a vast range of objects of exceptional beauty and inventiveness. Leading expert Vivienne Becker provides an account of the movement that spread through Europe and the United States, acquiring different decorative characteristics in England, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Russia and Spain. For the collector, comprehensive biographies on more than 300 designers are included, followed by a guide to identification, with over 200 makers' marks and signatures. Each part of the book is richly illustrated with plate sections of dramatic illustrations, from the sinuous elegance of the French masters - Vever, Lalique and Fouquet - to the linear, geometric designs of the Viennese - Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser. 30.20 x 22.60 cm Paperback 240pp 456 Illustrations, 156 in colour and 214 makers' marks First published 1998
Gaudí - Builder of Visions
Antoni Gaudí and his inimicable fluid, organic style will be forever linked to Barcelona. His spectacular buildings – among them the Güell Palace and the monumental La Sagrada Familia – have come to symbolize the city. This exciting book invites the reader to explore the visual richness of Gaudí's creations in scores of well chosen illustrations. As well as revealing the architect's working and building methods, the author also discusses Barcelona's social and cultural background and the city's heritage as the capital of Art Nouveau. 18.00 x 12.50 cm Paperback 128pp 106 Illustrations, 65 in colour First published 2002
Pre-Raphaelite Drawing
The most comprehensive survey to date of the drawings, watercolours, prints and designs of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, providing a fresh and intimate picture of the most popular and enduring group in the history of British art The book is illustrated with the most important Pre-Raphaelite drawings from public and private collections around the UK, including striking works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and Edward Burne-Jones that have never before been exhibited or reproduced. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of radical young artists who banded together in London in 1848, revolutionized British art. This book explores the vital role played by drawing and design, in all its variety, in the work of the Brotherhood and their associates. Alongside studies for paintings of religious, literary and medieval subjects are the group's portraits, self-portraits and caricatures, often exchanged as gifts; meticulous depictions of nature by John Ruskin and his followers; captivating drawings of the iconic Pre-Raphaelite models Lizzie Siddal and Jane Morris; and original designs for stained glass, textiles and ceramics. Art historian Colin Cruise explores the emergence of the Brotherhood's graphic style, their theories of naturalism, their radical promotion of new subjects, and their highly original use of watercolour as a drawing medium. He also demonstrates the impact that Pre-Raphaelite drawing had upon turn-of-the-century British art movements such as Aestheticism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau, and explores the role of drawing in the work of leading Arts and Crafts designers such as William Morris, William De Morgan and Florence Camm. 28.00 x 24.00 cm Paperback with flaps 248pp With 313 illustrations First published 2012
20th Century Ceramics
Many of the surveys to date have discussed factories or potters or artists as if they were completely disassociated from the times in which they were living, and as if they were completely unaware of their contemporaries. Rather than producing a survey in which only a shooting gallery of iconic pots or famous artists are presented I have tried to reveal the contexts in which these ceramics were made and why they were made.' Anyone concerned with art and creativity in the modern era, including schools, art colleges and collectors, will be grateful for this introduction to one of the most popular and challenging art forms of our time. The profusely illustrated book charts the development of ceramics in the modern age, from Art Nouveau, Art Deco, the Bauhaus and Futurism, through Abstract Expressionism, Pop and Performance, to Land Art and Installation Art. There are clear introductions to pioneering techniques, glazes and approaches, in context and in practice, from Orientalism and colour theory to Modernism, Postmodernism and the profuse diversity of the end of the twentieth century. A practising potter and writer of international note, Edmund de Waal examines the increasing cross-fertilization between ceramics and other disciplnes, such as painting, sculpture and architecture, and provides detailed and compelling analysis of individual pieces in context. 21.00 x 15.00 cm Paperback 224pp 178 Illustrations, 77 in colour First published 2003
Jewelry from Nature
With more than 350 illustrations, Jewelry from Nature is a fresh, sensitive look at natural materials magically transformed by masters of fine jewelry. The vast range of materials is impressive: coral, amber, horn, ivory, shells, pearls, wood, tortoiseshell, and such exotica as feathers, shagreen and bog oak – with origins from all over Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and the Far East. Their beauty often belies their age – amber (65 million years old) and mammoth ivory (10,000 years old). Here, lavishly displayed, are superb works made by the world's finest jewelers of the past two hundred years. Every major jeweler has created pieces of exceptional beauty, importance and style: Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, JAR, Cartier (their Art Deco coral bangles are icons of the period), Tiffany, Boivin, Verdura (whose seashell brooches studded with fine stones have long been collectors' items), David Webb, Schlumberger, Lalique (whose name enbodies the best in Art Nouveau), Suzanne Belperron and Hermès. Scores of modern designers are also featured (Andrew Grima, John Donald, Noma Copley) as well as artists today such as Patricia Von Musulin, Ted Muehling and Liv Blåvarp, whose exquisite objects show great respect for natural materials. Including masses of information, each chapter explores the inspiration of a different material, with special profiles on designers, themes, or style icons such as Princess Grace of Monaco, Chanel and the Duchess of Windsor. 25.00 x 22.00 cm Hardback 224pp With over 350 colour illustrations First published 2010
French Style and Decoration
Drawing upon an impressive array of original sources, this profusely illustrated book offers sketches, engravings and printed patterns, representing French interior design and decoration from the Baroque, Rococo, Louis Seize and Empire periods through the 19th century to Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Modernism. Many of the designs have never been seen in published form before, making this sumptuous volume an invaluable treasury of new ideas and inspiration for designers, decorators, restorers and craftsmen. • An unrivalled sourcebook of French design and decoration for designers everywhere. • Reproduces a wealth of artistry and technical ingenuity, including the work of such designers as André-Charles Boulle, Pineau, Meissonier, Percier, Fontaine, Majorelle, Lalique and Ruhlmann. • Runs the gamut of the decorative arts, from Sèvres porcelain, Gobelin tapestries and Baccarat crystal to traditional printed cottons from Provence, silks from Lyons, glass by Gallé and Daum, and furniture and interior design by Guimard and Ruhlmann. 24.20 x 18.10 cm Hardback 248pp With over 600 designs, patterns and settings in colour and black and white First published 2008
The Iconic House - Architectural Masterworks Since 1900
One hundred of the most important and influential architect-designed houses in the world. See a list of architects whose work appears in 'The Iconic House' See an interview with Dominic Bradbury about the writing of the book With seminal works from such icons as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, as well as modern-day greats including Tadao Ando, Rem Koolhaas and Herzog & de Meuron, this book presents a stunning array of the past century's architectural masterpieces. International in scope and wide-ranging in style, the houses share a remarkable sensitivity to site and context, appreciation of materials and local building traditions, and careful integration of clients' needs. Each, however, has a unique approach that makes it groundbreaking and radical for its time. Every house has a history, and this book tells the often intimate stories of these remarkable buildings and their architects and clients. Concise, informative texts and fresh, vibrant illustrations, including specially commissioned photographs and a wealth of floor plans and drawings, offer detailed documentation, while a bibliography, gazetteer and list of houses by type offer further information. Whether Arts and Crafts or Art Nouveau, Modernist or Minimalist, High-Tech or vernacular, these iconic buildings from around the world and across the decades will inspire and delight students and professionals, design aficionados and anyone who dreams of building a house of their own some day. 28.00 x 26.00 cm Hardback 352pp 638 Illustrations, 559 in colour First published 2009
An Illustrated History of Interior Decoration - From Pompeii to Art Nouveau
The appeal of this extraordinary book lies in its obsession with the details of the domestic interior, borne out in a wonderfully rich collection of pictures. These charming paintings and water-colours, mostly dating from 1770 to 1860 and coming from all over Europe, Russia and America, record with faithful accuracy the shape of a room, the pattern of a carpet, the furniture, pictures, fabrics and wall coverings, the hang of the curtains. The pictures find their place in a complete survey of domestic – and some more palatial – interiors portrayed in art from the ancient world to the late 19th century, and including works by Vermeer, Hogarth, Dürer, Degas and Vuillard. The text goes beyond scholarly commentary to present an evolving picture of men and women in relation to domestic surroundings, full of human interest, wit and wide-ranging cultural references. 30.30 x 23.00 cm Hardback 396pp 400 Illustrations, 64 in colour First published 1982
Victorian and Edwardian Furniture and Interiors - From the Gothic Revival to Art Nouveau
The furniture designs of William Morris, C. R. Ashbee and Charles Rennie Mackintosh are even more popular today than in their own lifetimes. The work of other figures, such as William Burges and Christopher Dresser is also being avidly collected. Jeremy Cooper's survey contains an astonishing range of photographs and drawings: nearly 700 illustrations offer a uniquely comprehensive coverage of nineteenth-century furniture. Every major designer is represented, and the choice of pictures includes little-known pieces from private collections. Rare contemporary photographs of Victorian and Edwardian interiors show how the furniture formed part of complete decorative ensembles. Extensive commentaries on the illustrations and detailed text provide the essential background – wherever possible using the actual words of the designers, architects and critics themselves. 29.90 x 21.70 cm Paperback with flaps 256pp 683 Illustrations, 74 in colour First published 1998

A problem exists with PHP3 and PHP4 scripts regarding RFC 1867-based file uploads. PHP saves uploaded files in a temporary directory on the server, using a temporary name that is referenced as the variable $FOO where "FOO" is the name of the file input tag in the submitted form. Many PHP scripts process $FOO without taking measures to ensure that it is in fact a file that resides in the temporary directory. Because of this, it is possible for a remote attacker to supply an arbitrary file name as the value for $FOO by submitting a standard form input tag by that name, and thus cause the PHP script to process arbitrary files. The vulnerability exists in various scripts, and not necessarily with PHP itself, as the script determines what actions to perform on the uploaded file. The new versions of both PHP3 and PHP4 make it easier to secure scripts from this particular vulnerability. They include a new function that makes it easy to determine whether a certain filename is a temporary uploaded file or not: /* Text whether a file is an uploaded file or not */ is_uploaded_file($path); While there is no security vulnerability with PHP3 and PHP4, this upgrade is offered as a convenience because it includes the above illustrated method of file testing.

This is a Weston back-end. So this has to be implemented for every compositor over and over again?
It's a back-end. So, it's not clear to me if this allows me to take control of a session that is already running on a local display through another back-end. I checked the makefile, and it says the following:
$(x11_backend) \
$(drm_backend) \
$(wayland_backend) \
$(headless_backend) \
How does that make any sense? Is Weston capable of running on DRM or X11 directly??
Furthermore, it was mentioned (link!) that the main developer was working on this. Is this for Wayland itself??
