Academic s Freedom can bring a simple rush of relief, like shedding an overloaded backpack. Or it can bring a complex kind of joy: the freedom to fill you r own pack, the responsibility to make your own map, and the satisfaction of heading out on your own terms. Academically, Brown challenges you to take charge o f your own education and actively define the person you will become. Wheth er you major (what we call "concent rate») in engineering or english, your requirements will be as definite and d emanding.s you would e:'l. 'ect from any 1 leading un iversity. But beyond those requirements, you ma)' venture where , er your curiosity and passion inspire you to go. When eveq• student in every class really wants to be there - well, honestly, could there be a more intense or delightful way to learn? (Jow you know why surveys show Brown students as so unaccountably happy.) T AKING CHARGE, TAKING RISKS At Brown, we want )'O U to take bold intellectua l r isks, and we'll help )'OU do that. Y will ou experiment with different class schedules at the beginning of each semester during "Shopping Period. Y may also de, lop Independent Study Projects (ISPs) and Group Independent Study » ou e · Projects (GISPs), collaborating with a professor on a subject of your choosing. Finall}'. you can take "irtually any class under ou r "Satisfactoryl:o Credit" (S/NC) Option. If you could escape the burden o f being graded, what subjects wou ld you dare to explore? SPECIAL PROGRAMS / INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING Hunt fo r the most exciting ideas of your generation - and rou will find most of them glinting in the unattended spaces that divide academ ic disciplines. At Brown, we offer a spectacular number of these cross-disciplinary programs and concentrations - from "Business, Entrepreneur ship, Organizat ions" to "Community Health," from "Urban Studies" to "Science and Society." !any evoh· d from independent concentrations that students proposed themselves: if you don't see e one you like, hammer out your own. 2
On a certain hill in Providence, c1ever1y disguised by mossy brick and ancient trees, hums the most constructively irreverent thinking machine in America. Inspired by their professors, emboldened by each other's ambitions for change and fueled by their own sense of purpose, our students ask the kind of questions that propel them to provocative intellectual destinations. They are eager to absorb every nuance of the known - and burning to create the new. And they persistently drive themselves to create meaningful change in the world, in the company of a un iversity that does the same. If 1ill that sounds like}1111,you 'w come to the right place.
For those interested in pursuing a career in medicine, you may choose to combine the open curriculum concept of Brown (the College) and the competency-based cu rriculum concept of the Warren Alpert t.ledical School in our eight-year Program in Liberal l'>edical Education l · (PLME, pronounced PLEE-mee). Brown shares College Hill with the Rhode Island School of Design (RISO, pronounced RIZ-dee). one of the nation finest schools of art and architecture. For decades, Brown and RISD have 's expanded their students' options by allowing them to cross-register for classes. Student s also have th e opt ion to pursue a joint AB/ BFA degree through the five-year Brown/RISO Dual Degree Program . And a recent addition to Brown campus, the Perry and Marty Granoff Center for the Creative 's Arts serves as a catalyst for collaboration between and among the arts, sciences and humanities. Within the Center, creative thinkers from across disciplines can come together to work collaboratively, exchange ideas, and create new art forms. 4
Research Once, the people most aware of a professor's research were often the tenure committee. Today, to the great delight of our faculty and the unending benefit of our students, faculty research is a team sport, and Brown students can't wait to get out on the field. Through the Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards program (UTRA, known loving!}' as 0 0 - t r a ), you can earn a summer or term -time stipend for helping a professor conduct research, develop a new course, or teach it. "Through GRPs, or Group Research Projects, you earn course credit instead. And because Brown has fewer graduate students than many majo r universities, even the underclassmen can find themselves working with leading professors. Since UTRA began in 1986, it has engaged more than So% of Brown faculty and more than 1,800 students - bringing new life and intensity to the classroom, deepening understanding, preparing students for careers tn research and incidentally, offering vivid new knowledge to the world. ULTRA UTRAS + Characterizing Martian Analogs on Earth: Climate Studies for the Red Planet + Archaeology of the Ancient World: Tongobriga Excavation + Brown International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) + Radio Astronomy at Brown: The 21em Radio Telescope + War and Society: An Annotated Collection of Sources on Greek and Roman Warfare and Its Impact on Society + People Without History: Race and Redevelopment in the Modern US City + Brain Representation of Visual Information Across Eye Movements + Black Holes, Trumpets, and Turduckening 6
ADVISING ANO SUPPORT Y will find at Brown the freedom to build your own flying machine. But if you ever need help ou with the blueprint s, you will also find a lot of interesting people eager to help you get off the ground. As a first-year student , you're assigned both an academic advisor from the faculty and an upperclassman (your "Meiklejohn") to help you make the most of the curriculum . By sophomore year, you may choose your own faculty advisor. Because Brown prizes teaching, our professors are strikingly accessible; most students graduate with close and lasting connections to Brown faculty. Y dorm is an equally rich source of support. Each living unit has at least a Resident Counselor, a our Women's Peer Counselor, and a Minorit y Peer Coun selor. They serve not as the Voice of Authorit y, but as an open-door resource. And for practical matters - from getting a flu shot to getting a job Brown offers a host of resources, easily accessible on the web. 8
SerYing the V orld Al 146 acres, the Brown campus is plenty big - and the ambitions of our students make it even bigger. At Brown, community service is something you do because it feels right - and also because it is inevitably a personal education. And although many students can't imagine leaving the intellectual pleasures of Brown for a term or two, many others find study abroad a satisfying complement to their menu of choices at Brown. OUT OF THE CENTER Brown is not a "have to" kind of place - so it's especially meaningful that a majority of Brown students pursue community service. Yfany wor k through the Swearer Center for Public Service, which tra ins paid student coordinators to direct teams of student volunteers, serving schools and agencies throughout Providence, RI. Brown students teach kids to read, inspire teenagers to create their own radio shows. help adult pr isoners express themselves thro ugh theatre, work with cancer patients to heal their psychological scars, and much more. And if you have another idea? The Swearer Center can help you make it fly. A BROAD HORIZON I f you tug hard enough at our open curriculum, it gets as big as the planet. Approximately onethir d of Brown students spend a semester or a yea r abroad, and your financial aid travels with you! The University itself sponsors programs in Brazil, China, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Y can also choose from approved alternative programs in more than three dozen countries. ou And if your dreams drive you somewhere beyond Brown established bo nds, we urge you to 's build a bridge yourself. 9

Beyond the Classroom Question: Why does the official University seal show four open books? Possibly because Brown students are virtually always doing at least four things al once. Beyond academics, we could call them "extracurriculars;' but that would make them sound more "extra" than they are. Frankly, as a Brown student, you can help instigate, cook up, corral, finagle, leverage. critique, steer or refurbish just about anything in the vicinity that matters - experiences that will leave you with a highly tuned sense of how to get things done in the actual world. We expect you might enjoy yourself, too. STUDENT ACTI VITI ES To connect with the hundreds of student activity groups that give the campus its buzz, one place to start is the Student Activities Office. Another is your own head. Although Brown is home to groups covering virtually every inch of the artistic, literary, theatrical. musical, journalistic, political, international, environmental , religious, and ethnic spectrum, we'd be delighted to know if you think we've left something out. For students who relish highly competitive Division One Intercollegiate pla} we field 37 varsity teams. For those ', who take their sports more lightly, we offer a wide range of intramural, recreational and instructional options. And if you prefer to perspire individually, the state-of-the-art Nelson Fitness Center debuted in 2 0 1 2 . When you're almost 250 years old, you're expected to have a certain dignity and grandeur, and we do. But we also have the first university band that performs on ice skates, a club that will happil}' teach you to juggle flaming torches, an a cappella group that sings only pirate sea shanties, and a long tradition of unconnected antics all ascribed to Josiah S. Carberry, legendary profe,ssor of psychoceramics (the study of cracked pots). 12
Residential Life and Community l n college as in life, you want a balanced djet: a rich variety of coursework. Some nice fresh research. A tangy salad of activities. The comfort food of friendship. And maybe something hot and sweet, as well. What holds it all together? The sturdy platter of everyd ay (jving - places like the new Stephen Robert ' 6 2 Campus Center where you eat, sleep, study, hang, play games and every now and then do absolutely nothing at all. At Brown, you'll live on campus for at least your first six semesters. As an incoming student, you'll share a "Freshman Unjt" with 4 0 - 6 0 members of your class. (Like all our dorms, each Freshman Unit includes at least one Residential Peer Counselor, one Minority Peer Counselor, and one Women Peer 's Counselor, and a faculty fellow, as well.) Sophomore and ju nior years, your living options open up: alone or with your friends, you can enter the lottery for University housing. You can join one of Brown i o fraternities, sororities and co-ed Greek societies. Or you can find your place in one of the 's nine "theme» houses that focus on shared interests, from a specific language and culture to art, literature, faith, technology, or the environment. (Theme houses tend to have a lot of personality.) As a senior, you'll also have the option of living off campus; a little over half of seniors do. Visit reslife.brown.edu for more information. L EMONGRASS AND P IZZA I f you're looking for a meal on campus, you could ask for the Sharpe Refectory or the VerneyWolley Dining Hall - but you'll sound like a native if you ask for the Ratty or the V-Dub. All freshmen enroll in the meal plan, which offers kosher and vegetarian options with every meal; you can use your meal credits at our snack bars as well, open until 2:0 0 AM. I f you have more specific cravings, the neighborhood boasts an array of small restaurants - or you can use your dorm's kitchen to whip up something tasty yourself. A word of advice? Don't bring your car. Y won't need it, and you'll go nuts trying to find a ou place to park! 17
vT orld and T ork Together with your classmates, on a certain day in early summer, you will pour through the Van fickle gates into the arms of the world. Together, you will zoom and stroll and stride off to an exh ilarating number of adventures - the kind you get paid for and the kind )'OU don't. Together, you will discover that not everyone embraces the world with the intrepid curiosity of you and your friends from Brown. And whatever trail ) OU cut - through the underbrush of ordinary expectations to the ver y height of your abilities - it will belong to nobody but you. College can be a series of individual experiences, endured for a stack of good-looking grades. Or it can be much, much more than the sum of its parts, a kaleidoscope of interlocking insights and connections that reveals the beautiful, dynamic patterns of a meaningful life - in a dazzling shade of Brown.

«Brown's distinctive approach to education demands that students take responsibility for their own intellectual and creative development. As a result, our graduates are prepared to thrive as independent, innovative leaders in a wide range of careers.» - PRESIDENT C H R ISTIN A PAXSO N 2 0
• Boston Providence * BROWN e New York New England The crocuses come out first. Then the flip-flops. Then a green mist of hopeful leaves and the blush of the magnolias. (Technically they're false magnolias, but we'll take what we can get.) Frisbees arc by like the official Universi ty bird. Just for contrast, the occasiona l suited administrator hurries past. At a certain lime of year, you turn onto the Main Green and there's no point in resisting the slowmotion loveliness, the sense of arriving at the happiest, most welcoming un-party you e ever seen. 'v Perched at the top of College Hill, the University is blessed with first-rate sunsets and centuries of beautiful buildings. It nestles among the most gracious neighborhoods in Providence or, frankly, anywhere. From the top of the Science Library, you can actually see the Bay. For an eclectic mix of funky shops. upscale boutiques, independent movie theaters, cool bookstores, ethni c restaurants, and cafes - the unique and the pleasantly corporate - stroll to nearby Thayer Street. (Please note that at Brown, any place in Rhode Island deser ves the term "nearby.") Just down the hill, Providence proper boasts ambitious new restaurants and one of the largest, hip- pest malls in New England. By train, bus or car, Boston is an easy day trip (just over an hour), and you can plug into the cultural and professional intensity of New Y ork in less than three and a half. Really, what more could you ask than to go to school at the intersection of Hope and Power streets? 22
Applying to Brown brown.edufgofadmission Brown is a member of the Common Application Consortium, and first-year applicants may apply for admission under Early Decision or Regular Decision. Early Decision is a plan under which students apply by No"ember 1 and receive an admission decision by mid-December. This is intended for students who consider Brown their top choice and therefore are willing to make a binding commitment to attend Brown if admitted. Early Decision is reserved for applicants who have not applied to any other Early Decision program. Under our Regular Decision plan, students apply by January 1 and are notified of their decisions by April 1. Regular Decision applicants may appl)' to multiple schools at the same time, and ha'e the opportunity to choose Brown among other options, if admitted. FI NAN C L A ID AT BROW N A I financialaid.brown.edu Brown's financial aid policies are designed to enrich our campus community by ensuring that no student who has earned the opportunity to be at Brown will encounter cost as a barrier. Brown's need-blind admission policy means that an applicant's ability to pay for education will not be a factor in our admission decision. The policy applies to all freshman applicants who are US citizens o r Permanent Residents. Eligibility for financial aid at Brown is based solely on need, and we are committed to meeting 1 0 0"<> of demonst rated financial need for all undergraduates. Brown, as a member of the Ivy League, does not offer financial aid based on academ ic achievement, athletic ability, or any other form of merit. 23

NM police agency ramps up crisis training
Only about a quarter of the agency's officers have been trained in crisis intervention practices during their careers
Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque Police Department is stepping up the training of its officers.
Only about a quarter of the agency's officers have been trained in crisis intervention practices during their careers. But now the department plans to provide that training to all its officers.
A recent U.S. Department of Justice report critical of the department as having excessive use of force and other shortcomings recommended changes to its crisis intervention training.
The first new crisis-intervention class of 35 officers starts Monday, and the department's goal is to have 100 percent certification within 18 months.
The training includes both classroom time as well as role-playing exercises involving multiple scenarios such as dealing with a potential suicidal jumper.

E.coli found in Woodend water
Relevant offers
North Canterbury
Authorities in Waimakariri are still trying to trace how E.coli got into the Woodend water supply.
A boil water notice was issued in Woodend on Saturday after regular testing of the water supply found low levels of E.coli, an organism which can cause sickness, including vomiting and diarrhoea.
Waimakariri District Council three waters manager Kalley Simpson said investigations over the weekend showed the wells which provided Woodend with its water were clear of E.coli, which suggested the contamination had occurred somewhere within the reticulation system itself.
''It is important we identify the source so we can prevent it happening again,'' Simpson said.
Investigations into possible sources were continuing but in the meantime the pipes were being flushed in an attempt to remove all traces of E.coli.
Tests on Sunday suggested the flushing was working but the boil water notice would remain in place until the water tested clear for three consecutive days.
About 1000 homes are connected to the Woodend water supply.
It is the latest Canterbury township to be hit by water quality issues.
In May Rolleston residents were advised to boil water after a higher than recommended E.coli level was found in a bore 195 metres deep in the Izone business park.
It was one of a spate of E coli outbreaks in the Selwyn District in the past 12 months.

"I chose the Mounted Wall Art because I needed something simple without an enclosed glass frame. It was a very solid piece of Wall Art but not to heavy or to flexible. The floating wall mount gave the picture a 3D look that made the picture look like it was an expensive wall hanging. The final product was exactly what I was looking for. I was worried about the picture I was using because it was from 1944. I followed the sizing tips provided by Shutterfly and it turned out even better than I had hoped. I will definitely use the Mounted Wall Art frames for more of my photo projects."
"I took a chance ordering the Mounted Wall Art since I wasn't exactly sure what it was! I was going to order canvases, but the mounted wall art was less expensive and the sample pictures looked like they would give a similar look. Thanks to Shutterfly's 50% off sale, I was able to order 5 pieces of wall mounted art at a reasonable price. They look awesome! I think they are a better look than the canvases would have been. I am extremely happy with them and definitely would recommend them."
"I have purchased a number of products from Shutterfly over the years and this is by far my favorite. The quality is fantastic and it is such a beautiful piece to display my family photos. Thanks Shutterfly!!"
"This is the fourth mounted wall art I've purchased. They are always awesome! Look great, easy to hang, lightweight so no wall stud necessary. Make great gifts!!! Good job shutterfly! I'm happy as always with your work :)"
"I have ordered over 20 mounted wall art photos. The color and clarity are amazing. It is easy to do and makes a statement on any wall."
Showcase your favorite photos with Mounted Wall Art. The frameless design of Shutterfly Mounted Wall Art gives your photos a clean, modern look. Choose from stylish backgrounds and layouts for one or more photos. Your photos are displayed in full color, black and white or sepia tones—it's up to you. Mounted Wall Art comes in nine different sizes, so there's one to fit any space in your home. For more modern wall art options, check out our Canvas Prints.

Six things to watch for on Selection Sunday
Mar 16, 2014, 7:00 AM EDT
Practiced started almost six months ago. The first games were played more than four months ago. In that time, 351 Division I basketball teams played 31 game regular season schedules and 31 of the 32 conferences across the country have held their conference tournaments; we'll turn the Ivy League to the darkside at some point.
It's been a long, fun ride, but finally …
Selection Sunday is here!
MORE: Today's bracket update | Get to know all of the automatic bids
And while it may seem crazy, half-a-year's worth of work will be boiled down to a committee of ten bracketing out the 68 teams that will participate in this year's NCAA tournament. A good draw could yield a Final Four. A bad draw could cost a Cinderella their dancing shoes.
Here are the six most important things that we will find out on Selection Sunday:
1. Who gets the fourth No. 1 seed?: Florida has been a virtual lock to be on the top line for about a month now. Wichita State locked up a No. 1 seed when they moved to 34-0 with a title in the Missouri Valley tournament. Arizona lost to UCLA in the Pac-12 title game, but the Wildcats are likely still head for a No. 1 seed.
And who else? If Florida's in the South, Wichita State is in the Midwest and Arizona is out West, who is going to be the top seed in the East?
RELATED: Get to know the potential No. 1 seeds
Villanova looked like the favorite heading into the weekend, but they lost in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. Wisconsin looked like a contender, but they were beaten in the Big Ten semifinals by Michigan State. Can Virginia earn that No. 1 seed by beating Duke in the ACC title game? What about Michigan, who takes on the Spartans in the Big Ten title game? If they lose, is there any chance that Louisville can get the honor?
2. Whose bubble will burst?: Providence did themselves a favor. They went out and won the Big East's automatic bid on Saturday night, knocking off NBCSports.com's National Player of the Year Doug McDermott and Creighton. They won't be sweating out Selection Sunday, but a number of teams will.
The way I see it, there are ten teams vying for six at-large spots. If I had to make a prediction, Tennessee, Dayton, Nebraska, Xavier, SMU and BYU (in that order) are in while Missouri, Cal, Minnesota and Florida State (in that order) are out, but I hope I'm wrong and the committee decides to extend an invitation to Green Bay.
3. Where will Kansas be seeded?: The Jayhawks have played one of the toughest schedules in the history of college basketball this season. They also suffered nine losses against that schedule and were absolutely shredded defensively in two of their last three games. Star Jayhawk center Joel Embiid was out of the lineup in all three of those games. He has a stress fracture in his spine and is not expected to return to the lineup until at least the second weekend of the tournament, if at all. How do they get seeded? How does the committee value the schedule that Bill Self put together? How much of a factor will Embiid's injury be?
4. Just how high of a seed will Louisville get?: The Cardinals are playing as well as anyone in the country right now. I'd argue that they are one of the five most likely teams to win a title. But thanks to a complete lack of quality wins in non-conference play, the Cardinals simply don't have the kind of resume that would support a No. 1 seed. As of Saturday, they were a No. 3 in Dave Ommen's bracket, and others had the Cards slotted as a No. 4 seed. I wouldn't want to be the No. 1 seed in that region if the Cards get a No. 4 seed.
RELATED: The Cardinals look like a National Title contender
5. Where will Syracuse go?: The seed for Syracuse isn't quite as important as the region they are sent. There are games in Buffalo the first weekend of the tournament. The Sweet 16 and the Elite 8 will be played at Madison Square Garden. Syracuse fans travel as well as anyone, and they certainly will be able to fill arenas in Buffalo and New York City. That's quite an advantage for Jim Boeheim's club. When the Orange were the No. 1 team in the country four weeks ago, that path seemed like a foregone conclusion. But now, can the committee really give the Orange that kind of an advantage when they aren't even the top seed in their region?
6.Who ends up in Wichita State's bracket?: It's crazy when you think about it, but the lack of any real challenge on their schedule means that Wichita State's season for the ages will be determined by their performance in the NCAA tournament. If they are "for real", they will make another run. If they aren't, they'll lose early. It's dumb, but reality isn't always smart.
Here's the issue: there are some talented, top ten-caliber teams that had their seeds get dropped because of poor stretches during the season. This is a legitimate possibility for the Shockers: they could play No. 8 seed Oklahoma State in the Round of 32, No. 4 seed Louisville (or Michigan State) in the Sweet 16 and No. 2 seed Kansas (with Embiid back) in the Elite 8. Let's hope that's not the case.
- greej1938l - Mar 16, 2014 at 9:23 AM
I am not sold on Wichita state. And I don't think selection committee will be either. Yes. They will get. Number one. But I think it's gunna be a hell of a challenge to get out of there bracket.
- bigmeechy74 - Mar 16, 2014 at 10:08 AM
It's gonna be tough on every #1 seed. The 8/9 games will all be quality teams. You realize Wichita St made the final four last year, and was beating louisville most of the game, right? They are even better this year. But that being said, they could easily lose in the second or third rounds
- jaydm84 - Mar 16, 2014 at 9:55 AM
Kansas should be thrilled with a 3 seed.
- greej1938l - Mar 16, 2014 at 10:15 AM
That's my point. We will see when they play the big dogs

A rugby referee has been king-hit by a spectator holding a baby, after a controversial end to a game in Auckland.
The attack happened during a Samoan United Rugby Shield game between the Auckland Eagles and Laulii Liona at Williams Park in Mangere at the weekend.
Auckland rugby referees manager Mike Elliott confirmed the incident and said it was being investigated by the disciplinary committee.
Tournament organiser Moe Mata'afa said the event happened after the Eagles scored the winning try in injury time before one of the Laulii players made a late tackle.
As the referee spoke with the Laulii captain after he awarded the Eagles a penalty, he was allegedly abused by one of the Laulii team's support staff and ended the game.
Mr Mata'afa said that, soon after, as the referee stood in the officials' tent talking to some of the players, the man - understood to be a spectator - entered the tent and punched the referee from behind. The man then fled.
"The players of the team that lost were very experienced players and they know the referee... they were talking to him in the tent and someone just from nowhere punched the referee."
"But it wasn't a real [bad punch] because he had a baby in one hand."
He believed the incident was sparked by the referee's decision to end the game won by the Eagles 14-12, early.
Mr Mata'afa said they had called police but the unidentified man had already fled.
He said the incident was the first of its kind in the tournament's six-year history.
The tournament is played following the regular rugby season and consists of teams made up by players from the same villages in Samoa.
It was made up of Auckland and Counties Manukau club and secondary school rugby players.
Mr Elliott said the referee had not suffered any serious injuries and would referee again this weekend.
"We would like to find the culprit but a member of the public is pretty hard to find when they disappear into the woodwork."
Otahuhu Senior Sergeant Laurie Culpan confirmed the assault but said they had not located the offender.
"Police were called but obviously by the time we got there the spectator had disappeared, which is fairly common for these sort of things," he said.
Mr Culpan said since it was not a serious assault, the enquiries were being left to the Auckland Rugby Union, with police to act on any information provided by them.
"As you can imagine from our perspective, everybody's gone, there are that many lines of inquiry for a minor assault, it would chew an inordinate amount of police time."
He said the rugby union had measures they could take such as bans on individuals or standing clubs down in order to get the person to come forward.
"That said, if the offender was apprehended there and then of course we would be making an arrest."
The attack is the latest in a series of assaults on sports referees this year.
In April, Waikato rugby player Taylor Anae Sione, 28, hit Hamilton referee Roly Bolton in the face after he was red-carded for knocking out an opposition player.
In May, South Canterbury soccer player Vinny Dias was suspended for six games after he verbally abused a referee.
Also, in the same weekend in South Canterbury Darren Bolt, 18, was suspended from rugby for two years after he intimidated and manhandled a referee who had given him a yellow card.

Bruce Chatwin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Unimprovable (and unstoppably readable)"
--Pico Iyer, Time
"Moving and elegant...A superb portrayal of the restless and randy travel writer brings us as close to his hidden heart as we're likely to get."
"Shakespeare's engrossing bio does exactly what Chatwin's fans have longed to do: get beneath the alluring but elusive quality of his persona and prose. [Grade]: 'A'"
--Entertainment Weekly
"Immensely readable... Shakespeare portrays a man of colossal energies and intellect in perpetual conflict, whose life was a web of contradiction, controversy, and conundrum.... Shakespeare artfully synthesizes what could have been cacophonous voices into an impressively rendered and remarkably coherent portrait."
"Quite simply, one of the most beautifully written, painstakingly researched, and cleverly constructed biographies written this decade. Shakespeare has a quite extraordinary empathy for his subject, whom he portrays with humor, warmth, and an eye for telling detail, creating a book almost as original, intelligent, and observant as those by Chatwin himself."
--William Dalrymple, Literary Review (London)
Bruce Chatwin burst onto the literary landscape in 1977 with In Patagonia, which quickly became one of the most influential travel books of the twentieth century. The books that followed--The Viceroy of Ouidah, On the Black Hill, The Songlines, and Utz--confirmed his status as a major writer able to reinvent himself constantly. And the life he led successfully established him as one of the most charismatic and elusive literary figures of our time.
Beautiful to behold, charming, intelligent, a writer of exquisite prose, Chatwin was welcome in every society--from the most glamorous patrons of Sotheby's, where he held his first job, to the remote tribes of Africa. He was a thinker of striking originality, a reader of astonishing breadth and depth, and a mesmerizing storyteller. Salman Rushdie claimed that "he had the most erudite and possibly the most brilliant mind I ever came across."
And yet for all the adoration he received, when Chatwin died of AIDS in 1989, he died an enigma, a panoply of apparently conflicting identities. Married for twenty-three years to his American wife, Elizabeth, he was also an active homosexual. A socialite who loved to regale his rich and famous friends with uproariously funny stories about his travels and the people he met on them, he was at heart a single-minded loner who explored the limits of extreme solitude.
Award-winning novelist Nicholas Shakespeare spent eight years traveling across five continents in Chatwin's footsteps. He was given unrestricted access to Chatwin's private notebooks, diaries, and letters, and has gathered evidence from Chatwin's peers, his friends, his family, his hosts, his enemies, and his lovers. The result is this masterful biography, rendered in a graceful narrative that brilliantly leads us into Chatwin's world--across all the vast geographic, social, and emotional expanses that he traveled--and into his psyche.
Includes bibliographical references (p. ) and index.
About the Author
NICHOLAS SHAKESPEARE is the author of The Vision of Elena Silves, winner of the Somerset Maugham Award; The High Flyer, for which he was nominated one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists in 1993; and The Dancer Upstairs, chosen by the American Library Association as the Best Novel of 1997.

Groupe de Chow de dimension zéro des fibrations en variétés de Severi–Brauer
We study here the O-dimension Chow group of some particular smooth varieties which are fibrations over curves (i.e. are equipped with a proper, surjective morphism over a smooth curve). We obtain finiteness results for fibrations, whose generic fibres are Severi-Brauer varieties of squarefree index, when the group field is a number field (or in some particular cases a finitely generated field over Q).
Key Words: Chow groups; algebraic cycles; arthmetic finiteness theorem; Galois cohomology.

Appearing to be a blend of Steve Buscemi and Nick Cave, Noah Taylor made his name playing Danny Embling, a young man juggling inner torment and sexual anxiety in John Duigan's The Year My Voice Broke (1987) and Flirting (1991). In 1996, he gained further international recognition and respect for his role as the younger version of piano prodigy David Helfgott in Scott Hicks' Shine.
The son of journalists, Taylor was born in Melbourne, Australia, on September 4, 1969. Although he spent his early years wanting to be a spy or a commando, he began his acting career at the age of 16 when he left school and joined the city's St. Martin's Youth Theatre. His work with the theater led to his casting as Danny Embling in The Year My Voice Broke. Following the critical success of both Year and its sequel, Flirting, Taylor became known as one of his country's most promising actors. His widely praised performance in Shine further solidified this status, and he was able to do steady work in a number of diverse projects both at home and abroad. In 1998, Taylor starred in Ben Hopkins' acclaimed period drama Simon Magus, and the following year he starred alongside Daniel Auteuil in Michel Blanc's Mauvaise Passe and won a coveted role in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, the semi-autobiographical tale of an aspiring teen rock journalist. Taylor would work again with Crowe the very next year, taking a role in the director's remake of Alejandro Amenábar's Open Your Eyes, entitled Vanilla Sky. Heading into action territory with the high-profile video game-to-screen adaptation Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001, Taylor straddled the line between big-budget excess and independent credibility with an appearance in the little seen but curiously titled He Died With a Felafel in His Hand that same year.
In 2002, Taylor gained notable media attention for his controversial portrayal of Adolf Hitler in the independent drama Max. The film presented an intimate view of the future Nazi leader as a young aspiring artist, leading numerous groups to protest its humanization of such a feared and monstrous figure. Though the reviews of the film itself were generally fairly positive, Max soon disappeared from arthouse screens with Taylor's performance going largely unseen. If audiences had missed Taylor in Max, however, they would no doubt have a chance to catch him on the screen the very next year in the Tomb Raider sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Taylor next showed up in the anticipated Wes Anderson adventure comedy The Life Aquatic alongside an all-star cast, including Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston, and Willem Dafoe.

... them out of timber - many of these barracks are still standing. A large number of them were burned, leaving only brick chimneys and a low wall through which the heat from the fire was supposed to flow. In one of these timber barracks, we were told how the fires were rarely lit, as there was insufficient wood to fuel them. With large gaps between the walls and the floor, the inhabitants would clearly have had very little protection from the elements. ...

The circular tower is accessed through low and narrow stairs within the thick outer walls and the steps have been polished smooth from centuries of foot traffic.

The tour also took us to the Barbican, that protected the city walls and was the only side of the city to never be successfully invaded. When Poland was divided and came under Austrian rule they wanted to destroy the city wall. The Polish didn't like this and claimed it was part of their history. The Austrians rejected this argument ...

With one minute remaining the ball went out for a corner and tom commented to me "imagine the scenes if this goes in" and as it had been a fairly boring game so far this didn't seem likely. But with the final kick of the game Krakovia had scored! The crowd went wild and started hugging and kissing each other while Tom could hardly believe it!

CameraLabs felt the pulse of Canon's new APS-C flagship, the EOS 7D Mark II. It's an exhaustive review that covers every aspect and feature of the 7D2.Final score is of 87/100.
In the conclusion they write:
There's a lot to like here. The headlining 65-point AF system and 10fps continuous shooting really are a powerful combination, especially when coupled with evaluative metering. Configured to deploy intelligent tracking and recognition, the 7D Mark II enjoys an uncanny ability to find the desired subject, focus on it, meter correctly and effectively track it as you're firing bursts. I tried it for wildlife, sports and event photography, and in each case came home with a high hit rate. I was particularly impressed how much I could trust the AF, metering and recognition to identify and correctly meter for people regardless of the lighting, their position on the frame or if they were wearing hats or scarfs. The broad spread of the AF array also means you can more confidently let the camera do the hard work with subjects closer to the edges than before, especially if you're used to shooting full-frame.
Once more, the EOS 7D Mark II is compared to the high-end EOS-1D X:
[…] the 7D Mark II will give you most of [the EOS-1D X] handling performance in a smaller, lighter and much cheaper package. Indeed it'll also throw-in AF in lower light, effective focusing for movies and a built-in GPS receiver.
CameraLabs' review comes with sample movies and pics, and plenty of useful information.
Read more about the EOS 7D Mark II's highlights: the excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too). All our coverage on the EOS 7D Mark II can be seen here (and there is a lot).

Canon EOS-1D C (Adorama | B&H Photo)
It appears the Canon EOS-1D C saw a price drop around $1,000 by Canon Hong Kong, where it is now selling for approx. $7,000 ($12,000 in USA). There are speculations these may mean something, like a replacement coming soon (don't think so).
EOSHD writes:
According to EOSHD forum member Fabuloux, whose local dealer now sells the 1D C for HKD 54,000 ($7000 US dollars) the low price is a result of Canon lowering the official list price to $61,999 HK dollars. Sure enough you can view the new price on the official Canon Hong Kong website here. That is now MUCH closer to the RRP in Hong Kong of the plain old 1D X, which sells for $44,000 ($5700 US dollars).
A difference of approx. $1,700 to the EOS-1D X is an interesting point. Given the price in Hong Kong you may want to have a look on eBay to see if you can grab an EOS-1D C for $7,000.[via EOSHD]
