Kenya Bell has not had an easy go on this season of Basketball Wives. Pegged since day one, by Suzie, at least, as a "nutbag," she's endured professional and personal road blocks with all the women on the show, and everyone has had something to say about her. And in this recent interview in Juicy magazine, Kenya has something to say about everyone, too. Here are her thoughts on the women of Basketball Wives, and she definitely is not holding her tongue. What do you think of her feisty take on her co-stars, do they deserve her heat, or is she only now voicing her opinion now that filming for the season is done?
On Kesha:
She's very country and I've heard she's broke, so she needs to stop acting like that $8000 for the club wasn't a lot for her when I personally know it was.
On Suzie:
I'm soooo sick of Suzie at this point, she needs to watch out for my ass at the reunion show.
On Shaunie:
Look, I don't know Shaunie personally, but we have a mutual friend who convinced me to be on the show. She told me Shaunie was cool and I believed her. End of story.
On Evelyn:
EVELYN obviously has a lot of problems right now. To me, she's very up and down. One second she's crying, the next she's screaming, and then she's jumping across tables. Obviously there's something in her life she's not happy about. For me, to throw a bottle at someone for calling you loose is ridiculous. If that's the case you're gonna fight half the world, because I couldn't have been the only person to say that.

What Harold says...
Harold Meyerson says it so I don't have to: Obama blew it with labor law reform.
The only thing I'd add, and that's because I am never going to be invited to any event where Obama is present, is that Obama never intended to keep that promise, and labor union leaders should have known that early on, too. Labor needs to be more careful who it supports this year and serve notice on Obama that if he wants support for his re-election, he better wake up and smell the coffee.
It is good labor unions are seeking to defeat the scorpion Blanche Lincoln (D?-No, R!-AK) in a primary election this year. More please. As Samuel Gompers memorably said a century ago: "Reward your friends and punish your enemies."

On 9 October 2012, Johannes Hahn, Member of the EC in charge of Regional Policy, Laurent Beauvais, President of the Regional Council of Basse-Normandie, gave a press briefing at the European Commission in Brussels in the framework of the biggest annual event in the world of regional and urban policy which marks its 10th anniversary at a crucial time for EU Cohesion Policy. Talks on the EU budget and the future shape of cohesion policy are entering their final and critical phase. Open Days 2012 will bring together some 6000 regional policy practitioners from all over Europe to share best practice and reinforce Regional Policy as the main instrument to realise the growth goals of Europe2020 and supporting the EU's exit from the crisis. Under the banner of "Europe's regions and cities: Making a difference", over 100 seminars and workshops will focus on the priorities for future funding: Smart and green growth for all, promoting innovation/research and development, support for SME's, Territorial cooperation, delivering and measuring results for a more effective policy. OPEN DAYS 2012 took stock of achievements so far and define the future shape of policy.

- Das Zustandspassiv : grammatische Einordnung – Bildungsbeschränkungen – Interpretationsspielraum (2008)
- Eventualities and different things : a reply (2005)
- "Comments are very welcome!" This basic attitude and the many ways of implementing it contribute immensely to the fascination of engaging in scientific research. I am grateful to Theoretical Linguistics for providing a public platform for this kind of scholarly exchange and I thank all commentators for their thoughtful, stimulating, and often challenging contributions to my target article. My response will address two main issues that are raised by the commentaries. The first issue is shaped by a cluster of questions relating to ontology. The second issue concerns questions of methodology pertaining in particular to the problem of judging data.
- On Davidsonian and kimian states (2004)
- Davidsonian event semantics has an impressive track record as a framework for natural language analysis. In recent years it has become popular to assume that not only action verbs but predicates of all sorts have an additional event argument. Yet, this hypothesis is not without controversy in particular wrt the particularly challenging case of statives. Maienborn (2003a, 2004) argues that there is a need for distinguishing two kinds of states. While verbs such as sit, stand, sleep refer to eventualities in the sense of Davidson (= Davidsonian states), the states denoted by such stative verbs like know, weigh,and own, as well as any combination of copula plus predicate are of a different ontological type (= Kimian states). Against this background, the present study assesses the two main arguments that have been raised in favour of a Davidsonian approach for statives. These are the combination with certain manner adverbials and Parsons (2000) so-called time travel argument. It will be argued that the manner data which, at first sight, seem to provide evidence for a Davidsonian approach to statives are better analysed as non-compositional reinterpretations triggered by the lack of a regular Davidsonian event argument. As for Parsons´s time travel argument, it turns out that the original version does not supply the kind of support for the Davidsonian approach that Parsons supposed. However, properly adapted, the time travel argument may provide additional evidence for the need of reifying the denotatum of statives, as suggested by the assumption of Kimian states.
- On the limits of the Davidsonian approach : the case of copula sentences (2005)
- Since Donald Davidson's seminal work "The Logical Form of Action Sentences" (1967) event arguments have become an integral component of virtually every semantic theory. Over the past years Davidson´s proposal has been continuously extended such that nowadays event(uality) arguments are generally associated not only with action verbs but with predicates of all sorts. The reasons for such an extension are seldom explicitly justified. Most problematical in this respect is the case of stative expressions. By taking a closer look at copula sentences the present study assesses the legitimacy of stretching the Davidsonian notion of events and discusses its consequences. A careful application of some standard eventuality diagnostics (perception reports, combination with locative modifiers and manner adverbials) as well as some new diagnostics (behavior of certain degree adverbials) reveals that copular expressions do not behave as expected under a Davidsonian perspective: they fail all eventuality tests, regardless of whether they represent stage-level or individual-level predicates. In this respect, copular expressions pattern with stative verbs like know, hate, and resemble, which in turn differ sharply from state verbs like stand, sit, and sleep. The latter pass all of the eventuality tests and therefore qualify as true "Davidsonian state" expressions. On the basis of these empirical observations and taking up ideas of Kim (1969, 1976) and Asher (1993, 2000), an alternative account of copular expressions (and stative verbs) is provided, according to which the copula introduces a referential argument for a temporally bound property exemplification (= "Kimian state"). Considerations on some logical properties, viz. closure conditions and the latent infinite regress of eventualities, suggest that supplementing Davidsonian eventualities with Kimian states may yield not only a more adequate analysis of copula sentences but also a better understanding of eventualities in general.
- Review of Regina Pustet : Copulas: universals in the categorization of the lexicon: (Oxford University Press 2003; 262pp) (2007)
- The renowned Grimm Dictionary (1854-1961) makes the statement that the German copula sein (to be) is "the most general and colourless of all verbal concepts" (der allgemeinste und farbloseste aller verbalbegriffe). A more concise summary of the linguistic issues surrounding the copula is hardly possible. These two properties (and the latent tension between them!) make copulas a particularly interesting and vexing subject of linguistic research. Copulas appear to be almost colourless, i.e., devoid of any concrete meaning, thus leading to the question of why such expressions exist at all, not only in German but in the majority of the world's languages. And at the same time copulas presumably provide the best window into the core of verbal concepts thereby telling us what it actually means to be a verb – at least in a language like German or English. While there is a rather rich body of research on copulas in philosophical and formal semantics including several in-depth studies on the copular systems of individual languages, copulas have received comparably little attention from a typological perspective. The monograph of Regina Pustet sets out to fill this gap. She presents an extensive cross-linguistic study of copula usage based on a sample of 154 languages drawn from the language families of the world. The analysis is embedded in the theoretical framework of functional typology. The study aims at uncovering universal principles that govern the distribution of copulas in nominal, adjectival, and verbal predications. Its major objective is the development of a "semantically-based model of copula distribution" (p.62) by means of which the presence vs. absence of copulas can be motivated through the inherent meaning of the lexical items they potentially combine with. Drawing mainly on the work by Givón (1979, 1984) and Croft (1991, 2001), who provide a functional foundation of the traditional parts of speech, Pustet identifies four semantic parameters which, if taken together, are claimed to support substantial generalisations on copula distribution – within a given language as well as crosslinguistically. These parameters are DYNAMICITY, TRANSIENCE, TRANSITIVITY, and DEPENDENCY. Pustet goes on to argue – and this is in fact the driving force behind the overall monograph – that the distributional behaviour of copulas, in turn, yields a useful methodology for developing a general approach to lexical categorization. Thus, in the long run Pustet aims at contributing to a better understanding of the traditional parts of speech, noun, adjective, and verb by defining them in terms of "semantic feature bundles, which can be arranged in [a] coherent semantic similarity space" (p.193).
