How do I resolve conflicting holiday goals?
I'm planning a trip to celebrate holidays, partly with my girlfriend and partly with my mother, and I'm having a communication / conflict issue between the two. Can you help? Details inside... [more inside]
London with the boy (nearly six!)
So I'm about to take my son to London on a father and son trip. We've been once before and loved it. We went on the river bus, to the Natural History Museum (scary animatronic T-rex!), Science Museum and to Grenwich to see the Cutty Sark. We saw the changing of the guard. We had a WHALE of a time. [more inside]
What do I do regarding potential new job and holiday in September?
I had an interview for an exciting startup today and got emailed straight away saying they really enjoyed meeting me and would like to invite me to the final round of interviews on Friday. In September I am going to one of my closest friend's weddings in Japan, and will be away for ten days. I am worried they will not be happy about this, what do I say and when? [more inside]
I need a holiday - where do I go?
I need to book myself a holiday but, never having travelling abroad, I'm a bit at a loss to figure out where I want to go. Given my list of requirements, can the Hive Mind suggest where I should start looking? [more inside]
Vacation recommendations for Corsica
We're going to Corsica for two weeks at the end of September/beginning of October. Recommendations? [more inside]
What kind of holiday works for families with babies?
We've finally saved up enough money to go on a little holiday, hopefully abroad, meaning outside the UK. The thing is, we have a five year old and a one year old, so the things we might like to do to have a relaxing holiday don't really apply as sitting relaxing beside a pool or on the beach with a book or newpaper simply wouldn't work. We also can't go somewhere really hot as our one year old would disapprove. We would never go to a "resort" and stay in a huge holiday complex whether we had young children or not! [more inside]
Somewhere in New England to go camping over 4th of July?
My 4th of July plans seem to have exploded, and I'm trying to make a backup plan. Since it's a 3-day weekend, I'd like to go camping somewhere—but I'm expecting that all the decent campsites are going to be packed and I'd really like to avoid that. Do you have any suggestions for where I could go with a couple of friends to enjoy a little camping without having to deal with too many other people? [more inside]
Where should we go in Greece for 2 Weeks?
My wife and I will be in Greece this summer from June 18-July 9. We're flying in and out of Athens. Aside from staying in the capital for a few days, we're not sure how to narrow down where else to go. If you were us (priorities after the jump), which destinations would you choose? [more inside]
Ah dinnae ken whit ah dinnae ken... aboot Scotland
Campervanning family holiday in Scotland in early May. Yay! I've googled like mad and bought a guide book, but what's really worth seeing? And what aren't they telling me? In other words: what less obvious things, places, foods, sweets, experiences, etc. would you recommend? This is free form, anything goes. [more inside]
A Week in Okoboji
We are set to spend a week in July at Lake Okoboji with my in-laws. We have a toddler. Any tips? [more inside]
Sunshiny, peaceful holiday destination in June?
It's getting colder and darker here in Australia and in an effort to prevent the winter blues I will be taking a two week holiday in early June. Where in the world should I go that is a) sunny and b) not humid? [more inside]
Show Me The Sunny!
I just survived my first Northern European winter. I am originally from the Gulf Coast US. I need some heat. Where should I go? [more inside]
Escapism, For One, For Two Weeks
Between 21 June and 18 July I will have finished school and not yet started work. I want to get away, outside, for some if not most of that time. I am based in Toronto. I like biking, hiking, walking, and being outside. I also like cities and reading books and sleeping in. Hope me please? [more inside]
New Zealand's North Island in 5 days and 5 nights?
I'm going to be spending ~5 days and 5 nights on New Zealand's North Island in the last week of March (after Easter). I'll be there with a friend. Can you help make our trip a little less vague than it currently is? Details under the cut. [more inside]

The digital camera equivalent of a Doro phone
My mum wants to borrow my compact for using when we go on holiday. Sadly, the screen is broken and, as it's nine years old, I'm not sure whether a repair is viable. Can you suggest an easy to use digital camera (ie. for a complete tech novice) which I could pick up new or used cheaply to give to her? [more inside]
Did I miss my window on notifying my new job of a planned holiday?
In late December, I managed to land myself an interview and a new job at an awesome small company (50-60 employees) in the space of 4 days. I start the new position on 1 February, but I've failed to mention that I have a two-week trip overseas already planned for mid-March, around Easter. Have I missed my window on telling my new employer about my holiday? Should I tell them now or wait until my first day? [more inside]
Holiday for exhausted parents in the UK
Hi! Can anyone recommend a holiday in mid January for two exhausted parents of a four year old and a one year old? We were thinking Centreparcs until we remembered it's based on a self-catering model and really could do with being cooked for for 5 days/a week! [more inside]
Only, like, my fifth baking question
Every year, I bake about a billion cookies. Okay, more like two or three thousand, but it feels like a billion. I then deliver and ship them all over the world, to friends and family. Every year, I bake the same 6 cookie types, plus 2 additional rotating types that, if they're good enough, can be added to the repertoire for the following year. I need suggestions for this year's two new types. [more inside]
Offline holiday destinations
Looking for suggestions for holiday destinations, preferably in or near Europe, where we can escape internet access and also, ideally, mobile phone signals. If you can suggest specific accomodation, all the better. We are thinking of going away for about a week, but don't yet have a specific time of year in mind.
When to stop gifting with extended family?
For years I gave gift cards to my nieces and nephews. Then they grew up, married and had kids of their own and I switched to giving to my great-nieces and -nephews. How to stop with minimal awkwardness? [more inside]
And you thought the Grinch would never pay $5.
I'm going to be cranky this Christmas. Assume it's unavoidable and no ghosts will be visiting me to convince me otherwise. What should I watch, read, and do that will help me feel less alone in my crankiness? [more inside]
Hit me with your favorite holiday record!
Having stumbled across the utterly delightful It's A Holiday Soul Party, I'm on the lookout for any interesting Christmas/holiday music. I've searched past questions, but would love to hear from folks this year! Nothing is off limits - we love everything from traditional to Klezmer Nutcracker to Vince Guaraldi to the South Park Christmas record (don't you judge me). Thanks so much!

Christmas Sights and Doin's in Boston
My family will be joining me in the Boston area for Christmas this year, for the first time, for only a few days surrounding the 25th. If we were in NYC, near where I grew up, I'd know exactly what to do - see the windows, Rockefeller Ctr, St. Patrick's, the Grand Central train show...but I don't know what the Boston equivalents of these sightseeing traditions are. One caveat: Boston seems big on performing arts events for the holidays, and we probably aren't going to be able to coordinate schedules for ticketed events. I'm looking for things you can just drop in to. [more inside]
Low effort holiday feasting?
My favorite part of the holidays is the FOOD. I love all the rich, sweet, and special seasonal eats, and I love to make them for my people. Unfortunately, this year, I Just Can't. Thinking about planning and cooking is stressful rather than exciting right now. How can I make nomming as low key as possible in terms of planning/effort, but still awesome? Wanting specific suggestions for Thanksgiving, periChristmas, and New Year's. Family will be visiting at various points. This is in the U.S., and we have a Trader Joe's and a Costco nearby.
How to celebrate the first snow of winter?
This will be my fourth winter living in a place that gets snow every winter. Every year I get VERY VERY excited when it snows for the first time. Other than squeeing joyfully, what is something I can do each year to celebrate the first snow of winter?

Diwali party gifts and etiquette?
Our Indian neighbors have invited my family to their Diwali party on Saturday. I'm unsure of the etiquette that surrounds attending the festivities. Stuff I've read online mostly boils down to "bring a nice gift (not alcohol) and wear your good cloths.". Are there any no-no's that might be lurking so I can prepare myself and my children to be respectful of the holiday? Many of the articles I've read suggest high quality dried fruit as a gift. Are there good alternatives?
Los Angeles Company Holiday Party - You are seriously, my only hope.
We are completely lost for ideas. The last 4 years our non-profit group has held our holiday party at a Thai restaurant, at which, 2 employees couldn't eat because, peanuts. Our budget is around $42 per person (give or take). We are 30 employees. We need a private room. We are located in West L.A. Staff is willing to travel as far south as Culver City-ish. [more inside]
'Tis the Season to be Overqualified
I am about to be interviewed for a part-time seasonal, retail position. This would simply be something to supplement my main income, and very temporary. I have about 15 years of high level retail management experience that I gained prior to the full-time non-retail management position I now have. I heard that the hiring managers sometimes do not want to hire people who are vastly overqualified, so my question is this: Should I reveal how much retail experience I actually have, or should I try to downplay it?

Help Me Gift Myself
I escaped a long-term abusive marriage homeless with a lot of hermit like attributes. It's been about three years of clawing and crawling out of that hole, and while I'm not completely out, I do have an apartment, job, friends, and enough money to feed me and my kid three squares a day. That deserves a celebration and I'm determined that I'm going to spend a long weekend with my best friend in London in December as a combo birthday/holiday gift to myself. I want to see Hyde Park done up for the holidays, do a Jack the Ripper tour, eat in a pub, and visit a museum [more inside]

Name this cake I bought last year. It's not a "piano forte."
Last Christmas season, I went to a restaurant store and bought a cake. It was nicely wrapped, and could easily keep for several weeks. It was not a fruitcake. It definitely had cake like texture, though not light like an angel food cake. It had different flavors, like chocolate, or coffee, or raisin chocolate. It looked like some sort of a bundt cake.

Somewhere warm for the winter
My parents are embracing retirement and planning to escape Minnesota for January and February. They're not too picky about where they stay, as long as it's on the beach and the weather is warm. Complication: they're bringing the cat. [more inside]
work schedule and long weekends
I work Sunday-Thursday. This is a relatively new schedule for me and something just came up that made me curious about how people handle this kind of schedule. In the US many holidays are set so they happen on Mondays. This gives most people a three day weekend. But as someone who works Sunday-Thursday, it just gives me a single day off during my work week. I've been told that Friday holidays can be shifted to the Thursday or the Sunday that bracket the holiday. A coworker works Tuesday-Saturday and when there's a Monday holiday, he takes it on Tuesday. If you've had a similar schedule, how were holidays handled?
Little known American city perfect for a lone woman of colour tourist?
I would like to visit a city in the US that is not commonly thought of as a vacation destination, but still has a lot to offer a tourist. However, as a woman of colour that does not drive and will be travelling alone, I would like a safe and friendly choice. I would like ideas for places with a lot of history and fine dining, which are easy to travel by foot/ public transportation, and friendly towards different looking people. Examples of what I am and am not looking for inside... [more inside]

Movie about German or Swiss man on ski holiday
Trying to remember a film I saw on television years ago. I was either German or Swiss and was about a heavyset man on a ski holiday. I remember it was very nearly silent (but was not a silent movie; it looked relatively modern) and everything was a sort of a disaster for him, and I remember it being unexpectedly sweet, and that's all I remember. Hope me!

City for a long weekend getaway?
My wife and I have some friends willing to watch our kids and 50,000 Delta skymiles each. We'd like to spend a long, car free weekend in a city that is new to us. We want to have a hotel room from which we can walk to nice restaurants and fun or interesting attractions (we like good museums and parks, for example). We've been to Boston, D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, and New York. Can you suggest somewhere new in the U.S. or Canada that would be fun to visit?
Recommendations for spending 10 days in Scotland this summer
My wife and I are planning a two-week trip to Scotland in early July. Our base will be Edinburgh but we plan a couple of nights in the Lake District (a family link) and then have 10 or so days in Scotland. Interested in hearing from people who have been there recently, what you have done (and avoided). Any advice would be welcome. [more inside]

Travelling in Portugal this summer - do's and dont's
My wife and I are flying to Portugal this summer (last 2 weeks of July), and plan to travel by car from Faro in the south to Porto in the north. We have a couple of weeks and want to get a feel for the country which we know very little about. Any general or specific ideas on what we should see, what we should avoid, etc. [more inside]

hi everyone ...after years of using XP I now have a new computer that is Windows Home Premium 7 (64bit) and am feeling my way around it.
I am not happy with the Crop thingy,
being a bit late to computers I don't really understand complicated stuff.
I am very happy with this computer except for that.
Can anyone recommend something that allows me to crop the pictures to my choice rather than just a downsize to a square of it's choice?
As we love our flower pics I know you will understand my frustration.
Previously I used Office picture manager to do that but I don't know if that is now an upgrade option on this computer.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction.
Windows home premium 7
hi everyone ...after years of using XP I now have a new computer that is Windows Home Premium 7 (64bit) and am feeling my way around it.
What program are you using to crop with ("Crop Thingy")? I don't use Office Picture Manager but I just opened the one on my laptop and the crop tool on it works fine.
A program you can use is MSPaint. It's a little clunky but it does work. In the Search Programs and Files box type in mspaint and hit return. Open your picture by browsing to it or drag the picture from a folder into mspaint. Click on Select and drag a box around the area you want to crop. Click on Crop. Click on the little icon with the down arrow in the upper left hand corner and choose save as, JPEG, and give your new cropped picture a name.
There are lots of free programs you can download as well as some good photo editing programs that don't cost a lot either. Picasa is a freebie, has some basic photo editing, and offers some free web photo storage for example. I use Photoshop Elements and you can pick it up for under $100.
I have to admit... I've never used Paint - in all the yrs having a computer. My kid uses it ... but i never got the knack of it.
I too use Adobe Products; Photoshop on my main computer, and Elements on my laptop [cant afford another copy of Photoshop]
I installed Google's Picasa for my DH on his computer. IT's a freebie, and lots of folks use it... it's pretty user friendly.
There are other free photo editing software out there ... some may be more advanced than what you are looking for ... and there is always the 'learning curve' in learning the software.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Major
Resolution: Done
Affects Version/s: 4.2
Fix Version/s: 4.2.1
Invocations of the XAResource.setTransactionTimeout method are cached by the Oracle driver until a call to the XAResource.start method has occurred.
The Type 4 driver accepts the new value and stores it locally but this does not appear to be propagated except as part of the start method invocation.

This issue has been logged against the Oracle 9i database. I downloaded the 18.104.22.168 version for linux and verified the issue against ojdbc14.jar.
The document shows that it is configurable within WL and shows the reason why (which is what I had previously discussed). There is no one "correct location" to enforce this policy. It is often easier for sys admins to manage this within the TM configuration, particularly in a distributed environment where different interposed coordinators can have different runtime configuration options such as this. Furthermore, not everyone has the ability or the capability to add new XAResource implementations and ensure they are picked up (and driven correctly) by the application server. This does not have to be a global setting: it's configured on a per instance basis - different runtimes can see different values, which comes back to what I said before in the context of interposition.
We can debate this for ages, but I want a configurable option for this. I believe there are good reasons for it and you have yet to prove that the absence of a configurable option is superior to its presence. Yet another benefit is the fact that customers migrating from WL may be using this option within their applications and expect it to be honoured.
I find it ironic that you used the argument "WL does it this way so we should too so it must be right" for the calling pattern, and yet don't accept the same argument back
Actually, my argument for the calling pattern was "WL always makes the calls in this order so we know that they believe it works with all databases they support".
If I remember correctly you rejected this argument yet now you employ it .
If the intention is to support customers migrating from WL then I assume we will also have this disabled by default?
Add the configurable attribute. I'm not that bothered what the default is, as long as it's documented. You make that choice.
The order of the method invocations has been swapped and the setTransactionTimeout is now configurable.
There are two ways to configure this functionality
- specify the com.arjuna.ats.jta.xaTransactionTimeoutEnabled property (defaults to true)
- programmatically using the setXATransactionTimeoutEnabled method on com.arjuna.ats.jta.common.Configuration
(Boolean.TRUE/enabled, Boolean.FALSE/disabled, null/use property value)
Finer grained control of this functionality will be added in a later release

This was great chicken! The marinade goes together very quickly and easily. I doubled the marinade ingredients because I used 4 boneless breasts, 2 thighs and 2 legs. I did add a little brown sugar to sweeten it up a bit. Also, I marinated the chicken for about 6 hours. My family devoured this and gave it 2 thumbs up. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper.
This chicken is to die for! We loved this recipe!! It was so easy to put together and the chicken was moist and bursting with flavor! We will be making this yummy recipe time and time again! Wonderful!! Wow!!

Civil Rights in American Law, History, and Politicsby Austin Sarat
Civil Rights in American Law, History, and Politics charts the ambiguous and contested meanings of civil rights in law and culture and confronts important questions about race in contemporary America. How important is civil rights in America's story of possibility and change? How has it transformed the very meaning of citizenship and identity in American culture? Why does the subject of race continue to haunt the American imagination and play such a large role in political and legal debates? Do affirmative action and multiculturalism promise a way out of racial polarization, or do they sharpen and deepen it? Are there new and better ways to frame our commitment to equal justice? This book brings together the work of five distinguished scholars to critically assess the place of civil rights in the American story. It offers different ways of talking about civil rights and frames through which we can address issues of civil rights in the future.
Civility, Legality, and Justice in Americaby Austin Sarat
Throughout American history, the discourse of civility has proven quite resilient, and concern for a perceived lack of civility has ebbed and flowed in recognizable patterns. Today we are in another era in which political leaders and commentators bemoan a crisis of incivility and warn of civility's demise. Civility, Legality, and the Limits of Justice charts the uses of civility in American legal and political discourse. How important is civility as a legal and political virtue? How does it fare when it is juxtaposed with the claim that it masks injustice? Who advocates civility and to what effect? How are battles over civility played out in legal and political arenas? This book brings the work of several distinguished scholars together to critically assess the relative claims of civility and justice and the way law weighs those virtues.
The Cultural Lives of Capital Punishmentby Austin Sarat
How does the way we think and feel about the world around us affect the existence and administration of the death penalty? What role does capital punishment play in defining our political and cultural identity? After centuries during which capital punishment was a normal and self-evident part of criminal punishment, it has now taken on a life of its own in various arenas far beyond the limits of the penal sphere. In this volume, the authors argue that in order to understand the death penalty, we need to know more about the "cultural lives"--past and present--of the state's ultimate sanction. They undertake this "cultural voyage" comparatively--examining the dynamics of the death penalty in Mexico, the United States, Poland, Kyrgyzstan, India, Israel, Palestine, Japan, China, Singapore, and South Korea--arguing that we need to look beyond the United States to see how capital punishment "lives" or "dies" in the rest of the world, how images of state killing are produced and consumed elsewhere, and how they are reflected, back and forth, in the emerging international judicial and political discourse on the penalty of death and its abolition.

Dissent in Dangerous Timesby Austin Sarat
While dissent has played a central role in our national history and in the American cultural imagination, it is usually dangerous to those who practice it, and always unpalatable to its targets. War does not encourage the tolerance of opposition at home any more than it does on the front: if the War on Terror is to be a permanent war, then the consequences for American political freedoms cannot be overestimated.
Dissenting Voices in American Society: The Role of Judges, Lawyers, and Citizensby Austin Sarat
Dissenting Voices in American Society: The Role of Judges, Lawyers, and Citizens explores the status of dissent in the work and lives of judges, lawyers, and citizens, and in our institutions and culture. It brings together under the lens of critical examination dissenting voices that are usually treated separately: the protester, the academic critic, the intellectual, and the dissenting judge. It examines the forms of dissent that institutions make possible and those that are discouraged or domesticated. This book also describes the kinds of stories that dissenting voices try to tell and the narrative tropes on which those stories depend. In what voices and tones do dissenting voices speak? What worlds does dissent try to imagine and what in the end is the value of dissent? Where does dissent speak without actually speaking? Where do dissenting voices most often go unheard or unrecognized? Do we find dissent wherever we find discontent? Wherever we find expression? This book is the product of an integrated series of symposia at the University of Alabama School of Law. These symposia bring leading scholars into colloquy with faculty at the law school on subjects at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary inquiry in law.
The Fate of Lawby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Kearns
Midst the rising clamor of voices declaring that the law is dead in the US, five original essays discuss the law's problems and prospects in the context of feminism, postmodernism, and other current movements and theories.
From Lynch Mobs to the Killing Stateby Charles J. Ogletree Jr. Austin Sarat
Since 1976, over forty percent of prisoners executed in American jails have been African American or Hispanic. This trend shows little evidence of diminishing, and follows a larger pattern of the violent criminalization of African American populations that has marked the country's history of punishment.In a bold attempt to tackle the looming question of how and why the connection between race and the death penalty has been so strong throughout American history, Ogletree and Sarat headline an interdisciplinary cast of experts in reflecting on this disturbing issue. Insightful original essays approach the topic from legal, historical, cultural, and social science perspectives to show the ways that the death penalty is racialized, the places in the death penalty process where race makes a difference, and the ways that meanings of race in the United States are constructed in and through our practices of capital punishment.From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State not only uncovers the ways that race influences capital punishment, but also attempts to situate the linkage between race and the death penalty in the history of this country, in particular the history of lynching. In its probing examination of how and why the connection between race and the death penalty has been so strong throughout American history, this book forces us to consider how the death penalty gives meaning to race as well as why the racialization of the death penalty is uniquely American.
Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penaltyby Austin Sarat
"How enviable a quiet death by lethal injection," wrote Justice Scalia, in a concurring opinion that denied review of a Texas death penalty case. But is it quiet? Renewed and vigorous debate over the death penalty has erupted as DNA testing has proven that many on death row are in fact innocent. In this debate, however, the guilty have been forgotten. In his new book, Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty, renowned legal scholar Austin Sarat describes just how unquiet death by execution can be. If we assume a death row prisoner is guilty, how can we be sure that we are fulfilling the Supreme Court's mandate to ensure that his execution is "the mere extinguishment of life" and not a cruel and unusual punishment? Gruesome Spectacles is a history of botched, mismanaged, and painful executions in the U. S. from 1890#150;2010. Using new research, Sarat traces the evolution of methods of execution that were employed during this time, and were meant to improve on the methods that went before, from hanging or firing squad to electrocution to gas and lethal injection. Even though each of these technologies was developed to "perfect" state killing by decreasing the chance of a cruel death, an estimated three percent of all American executions went awry in one way or another. Sarat recounts the gripping and truly gruesome stories of some of these deaths#151;stories obscured by history and to some extent, the popular press.

Human Rights: Concepts, Contests, Contingenciesby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Kearns
Today the language of human rights, if not human rights themselves, is nearly universal. Human Rights brings together essays that attend to both the allure and criticism of human rights. They examine contestation and contingency in today's human rights politics and help us rethink some of the basic concepts of human rights. Questions addressed in Human Rights include: Can national self-determination be reconciled with human rights? Can human rights be advanced without thwarting efforts to develop indigenous legal traditions? How are the forces of modernization associated with globalization transforming our understanding of human dignity and personal autonomy? What does it mean to talk about culture and cultural choice? Is the protection of culture and cultural choice an important value in human rights discourse? How do human rights figure in local political contests and how are those contests, in turn, shaped by the spread of capitalism and market values? What contingencies shape the implementation of human rights in societies without a strong tradition of adherence to the rule of law? What are the conditions under which human rights claims are advanced and under which nations respond to their appeal?
Identities, Politics, and Rightsby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Keams
The subject of rights occupies a central place in liberal political thought. This tradition posits that rights are entitlements of individuals by virtue of their personhood and that rights stand apart from politics, that rights in fact hold at bay intrusions of state policy. The essays in Identities, Politics, and Rights question these assumptions and examine how rights constitute us as subjects and are, at the same time, implicated in political struggles. In contrast to the liberal notion of rights' universality, these essays emphasize the context-specific nature of rights as well as their constitutive effects. Recognizing that political disputes throughout the world have increasingly been cast as arguments about rights, the essays in this volume examine the varied roles that rights play in political movements and contests. They argue that rights talk is used by many different groups primarily because of its fluidity. Certainly rights can empower individuals and protect them from their societies, but they also constrain them in other areas. Frequently, empowerment for one group means disabling rights for another group. Moreover, focusing on rights can both liberate and limit the imagination of the possible. By alerting us to this paradox of rights--empowerment and limitation--Identities, Politics, and Rights illuminates ongoing challenges to rights and reminds us that rights can both energize political engagement and provide a resource for defenders of the status quo.
Imagining New Legalities: Privacy and Its Possibilities in the 21st Centuryby Austin Sarat Lawrence Douglas Martha Umphrey
Imagining New Legalitiesreminds us that examining the right to privacy and the public/private distinction is an important way of mapping the forms and limits of power that can legitimately be exercised by collective bodies over individuals and by governments over their citizens. This book does not seek to provide a comprehensive overview of threats to privacy and rejoinders to them. Instead it considers several different conceptions of privacy and provides examples of legal inventiveness in confronting some contemporary challenges to the public/private distinction. It provides a context for that consideration by surveying the meanings of privacy in three domains--the first, involving intimacy and intimate relations; the second, implicating criminal procedure, in particular, the 4th amendment; and the third, addressing control of information in the digital age. The first two provide examples of what are taken to be classic breaches of the public/private distinction, namely instances when government intrudes in an area claimed to be private. The third has to do with voluntary circulation of information and the question of who gets to control what happens to and with that information.
Is the Death Penalty Dying?by Austin Sarat Jürgen Martschukat

Justice and Injustice in Law and Legal Theoryby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Kearns
Running through the history of jurisprudence and legal theory is a recurring concern about the connections between law and justice and about the ways law is implicated in injustice. In earlier times law and justice were viewed as virtually synonymous. Experience, however, has taught us that, in fact, injustice may be supported by law. Nonetheless, the belief remains that justice is the special concern of law. Commentators from Plato to Derrida have called law to account in the name of justice, asked that law provide a language of justice, and demanded that it promote the attainment of justice. The justice that is usually spoken about in these commentaries is elusive, if not illusory, and disconnected from the embodied practice of law. Furthermore, the very meaning of justice, especially as it relates to law, is in dispute. Justice may refer to distributional issues or it may involve primarily procedural questions, impartiality in judgment or punishment and recompense. The essays collected inJustice and Injustice in Law and Legal Theoryseek to remedy this uncertainty about the meaning of justice and its disembodied quality, by embedding inquiry about justice in an examination of law's daily practices, its institutional arrangements, and its engagement with particular issues at particular moments in time. The essays examine the relationship between law and justice and injustice in specific issues and practices and, in doing so, make the question of justice come alive as a concrete political question. They draw on the disciplines of history, law, anthropology, and political science. Contributors to this volume include Nancy Coot, Joshua Coven, Robert Gorton, Frank Michelin, and Michael Tossing. Austin Sarat is William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science, Amherst College. Thomas R. Kearns is William H. Hastie Professor of Philosophy, Amherst College.
Law and Liesby Austin Sarat
Law has a strangely complicated relationship to deception. Though it sometimes takes a hard line on behalf of truth - 'the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth' - competing values often cause law to look the other way. How and why is lying alternately accepted, condemned, or prosecuted? What are the government's interests in allowing or disallowing lying? Law and Lies is the first book to thematically address the role of lying in the American legal system. Undercover police agents are permitted to lie in the name of catching criminals, and government officials are permitted to lie in service of national security. In the case of the military's 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy, lying was not only permitted, but actively encouraged. A range of illuminating case studies reveal that the government's tolerance of deception is rarely as simple as the 'whole truth'.
Law and the Humanitiesby Austin Sarat Matthew Anderson Cathrine O. Frank
Law and the Humanities: An Introduction brings together a distinguished group of scholars from law schools and an array of the disciplines in the humanities. Contributors come from the United States and abroad in recognition of the global reach of this field. This book is, at one and the same time, a stock taking both of different national traditions and of the various modes and subjects of law and humanities scholarship. It is also an effort to chart future directions for the field. By reviewing and analyzing existing scholarship and providing thematic content and distinctive arguments, it offers to its readers both a resource and a provocation. Thus, Law and the Humanities marks the maturation of this "law and" enterprise and will spur its further development.
Law and the Strangerby Austin Sarat Lawrence Douglas Martha Merrill Umphrey
The six papers presented in this collection "explore the ways in which law, particularly liberal legal regimes, identifies and responds to strangers within and across their borders, both historically and in the present day," to quote the editors (all of Amherst College). Specifically, the papers explore and critique Immanuel Kant's ideas on neighborliness and hospitality in relation to contemporary transnational migration; the ways that the historic relative legal equality of citizens and aliens in the United States has been undermined in recent years by "war on terror" policies and curtailments of public assistance to immigrants; jurisdictional boundary-drawing in the Israeli trials of Azmi Bishara, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and Knesset member, and Marwan Barghouti, a member of the Palestinian Parliament, both tried for allegedly inciting terrorism and both rejecting the jurisdiction of the Israeli criminal courts over their cases; conflict of laws and the possibility of crafting hybrid rules that blend laws across normative boundaries; George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda and the definition of rights and privileges of Jews, women, and illegitimate children in English law; and illiberalism and antilegalism in utopian literature.

Law and the Utopian Imaginationby Austin Sarat Lawrence Douglas Martha Merrill Umphrey
Law and the Utopian Imagination seeks to explore and resuscitate the notion of utopianism within current legal discourse. The idea of utopia has fascinated the imaginations of important thinkers for ages. And yet#151;who writes seriously on the idea of utopia today? The mid-century critique appears to have carried the day, and a belief in the very possibility of utopian achievements appears to have flagged in the face of a world marked by political instability, social upheaval, and dreary market realities. Instead of mapping out the contours of a familiar terrain, this book seeks to explore the possibilities of a productive engagement between the utopian and the legal imagination. The book asks: is it possible to re-imagine or revitalize the concept of utopia such that it can survive the terms of the mid-century liberal critique? Alternatively, is it possible to re-imagine the concept of utopia and the theory of liberal legality so as to dissolve the apparent antagonism between the two? In charting possible answers to these questions, the present volume hopes to revive interest in a vital topic of inquiry too long neglected by both social thinkers and legal scholars.
Law and Warby Austin Sarat Lawrence Douglas Martha Merrill Umphrey
Law and War explores the cultural, historical, spatial, and theoretical dimensions of the relationship between law and war#151;a connection that has long vexed the jurisprudential imagination. Historically the term "war crime" struck some as redundant and others as oxymoronic: redundant because war itself is criminal; oxymoronic because war submits to no law. More recently, the remarkable trend toward the juridification of warfare has emerged, as law has sought to stretch its dominion over every aspect of the waging of armed struggle. No longer simply a tool for judging battlefield conduct, law now seeks to subdue warfare and to enlist it into the service of legal goals. Law has emerged as a force that stands over and above war, endowed with the power to authorize and restrain, to declare and limit, to justify and condemn. In examining this fraught, contested, and evolving relationship, Law and War investigates such questions as: What can efforts to subsume war under the logic of law teach us about the aspirations and limits of law? How have paradigms of law and war changed as a result of the contact with new forms of struggle? How has globalization and continuing practices of occupation reframed the relationship between law and war?
Law as Punishment / Law as Regulationby Austin Sarat Lawrence Douglas Martha Merrill Umphrey
Law depends on various modes of classification. How an act or a person is classified may be crucial in determining the rights obtained, the procedures employed, and what understandings get attached to the act or person. Critiques of law often reveal how arbitrary its classificatory acts are, but no one doubts their power and consequence. This crucial new book considers the problem of law's physical control of persons and the ways in which this control illuminates competing visions of the law: as both a tool of regulation and an instrument of coercion or punishment. It examines various instances of punishment and regulation to illustrate points of overlap and difference between them, and captures the lived experience of the state's enterprise of subjecting human conduct to the governance of rules. Ultimately, the essays call into question the adequacy of a view of punishment and/or regulation that neglects the perspectives of those who are at the receiving end of these exercises of state power.
Law in Everyday Lifeby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Kearns
The subject of law in everyday life is timely in theory and in practice. The essays collected here are stimulating for the very different ways in which they reconfigure the meanings of 'the law' as cultural practice, and 'the everyday' as a cultural domain in which the state expresses a range of interests and engagements. Readers looking for an introduction to this topic will come away from the book with a clear sense of the varied voices and modes of inquiry now involved in sociolegal studies, and what distinguishes them. More experienced readers will appreciate the book's meticulous reconsideration of the instrumentalities, agencies, and constructedness of law.
Law in the Domains of Cultureby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Kearns
The concept of culture is troublingly vague and, at the same time, hotly contested, and law's relations to culture are as complex, varied and disputed as the concept of culture itself. The concept of the traditional, unified, reified, civilizing idea of culture has come under attack. The growth of cultural studies has played an important role in redefining culture by including popular culture and questions of social stratification, power and social conflict. Law and legal studies are relative latecomers to cultural studies. As scholars have come to see law as not something apart from culture and society, they have begun to explore the connections between law and culture. Focusing on the production, interpretation, consumption and circulation of legal meaning, these scholars suggest that law is inseparable from the interests, goals and understandings that deeply shape or compromise social life. Against this background, Law in the Domains of Culture brings the insights and approaches of cultural studies to law and tries to secure for law a place in cultural analysis. This book provides a sampling of significant theoretical issues in the cultural analysis of law and illustrates some of those issues in provocative examples of the genre. Law in the Domains of Culture is designed to encourage the still tentative efforts to forge a new interdisciplinary synthesis, cultural studies of law.
Law without Nationsby Austin Sarat Lawrence Douglas Martha Umphrey
As the editors (all of Amherst College) explain in their introduction, how one conceptualizes the idea of "law without nations" depends very much on how one theorizes "the nation." A Hobbesian view of the nation as the state suggests that there can be no such thing as "law without nations." The development of doctrines of international crimes such as genocide suggests that law can exist above and beyond the nation, however defined. Understanding "the nation" either in the sense of the German concept of "das Volk" or as an expression of social solidarity (without, necessarily, the exclusivist connotations of "das Volk") can lead to an understanding of the law as embodying and expressing "matters of tradition, affect, belief, and ultimate values," and thus "law without nations" suggests either an impossibility or the imposition of artificial legality from the outside. Finally, in liberal legality, which sees law as the creator of social solidarity and the vehicle for promoting social justice, "law without nations" can be understood as the culmination of the liberal ideal. It is the tensions between these different ways of understanding "law without nations" that animate the six essays presented here, which explore such specific topics as the legal relationship between the nation-state and a globalized world as pertaining to the punishment of crime and the waging of war; issues of comparative constitutionalism (the US Supreme Court citing decisions of foreign domestic national courts, for instance); the conceptual development of Jewish law in the absence of a state for the nation; the recent development of Islamic Sharia Law as a form of supranational legality arising out of the void of failing states; international law as a facilitator of ethnic displacement and exclusion; and law within a liberal multinational empire.

Legal Responses to Religious Practices in the United Statesby Austin Sarat
There is an enormous scholarly literature on law's treatment of religion. Most scholars now recognize that although the U.S. Supreme Court has not offered a consistent interpretation of what 'non-establishment' or religious freedom means, as a general matter it can be said that the First Amendment requires that government not give preference to one religion over another or, although this is more controversial, to religion over non-belief. But these rules raise questions that will be addressed in Legal Responses to Religious Practices in the United States: namely, what practices constitute a 'religious activity' such that it cannot be supported or funded by government? And what is a religion, anyway? How should law understand matters of faith and accommodate religious practices?
Legal Rights: Historical and Philosophical Perspectivesby Austin Sarat Thomas R. Kearns
The idea of legal rights today enjoys virtually universal appeal, yet all too often the meaning and significance of rights are poorly understood. The purpose of this volume is to clarify the subject of legal rights by drawing on both historical and philosophical legal scholarship to bridge the gap between these two genres--a gap that has divorced abstract and normative treatments of rights from an understanding of their particular social and cultural contexts. Legal Rights: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives shows that the meaning and extent of rights has been dramatically expanded in this century, though along with the widespread and flourishing popularity of rights, voices of criticism have increasingly been raised. The authors take up the question of the foundation of rights and explore the postmodern challenges to efforts to ground rights outside of history and language. Drawing rich historical analysis and careful philosophical inquiry into productive dialogue, this book explores the many facets of rights at the end of the twentieth century. In these essays, potentially abstract debates come alive as they are related to the struggles of real people attempting to cope with, and improve, their living conditions. The significance of legal rights is measured not just in terms of philosophical categories or as a collection of histories, but as they are experienced in the lives of men and women seeking to come to terms with rights in contemporary life.

CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) - The search is narrowing for a new site where the second trial in a black man's dragging death will be held.
The FBI and Jasper County prosecutors discussed Monday with leaders in the Coastal Bend whether the Nueces County Courthouse would be a suitable venue for the trial of white supremacist Lawrence Russell Brewer Jr., 32, of Sulphur Springs.
District Attorney Carlos Valdez said a decision is expected by the week's end.
Last month, state District Judge Monte Lawlis in Jasper approved prosecutors' request to move the proceedings away from the East Texas town where James Byrd Jr. was dragged to death June 7.
Lawlis, presiding judge in the case, said the trial likely will be rescheduled for late June or early July so arrangements can be made for the change of venue. Corpus Christi probably will be one of several cities on a list Lawlis said he plans to present to prosecutors and defense attorneys in the case.
The judge said he has not yet compiled the list. But he said he will not choose a county where officials do not want the trial.
The case had been scheduled to begin on May 17.
Touring the Corpus Christi courthouse Monday were Jasper County District Attorney Guy James Gray, Jasper County Sheriff Billy Rowles and FBI agents from Houston and Corpus Christi.
County Judge Richard Borchard said he is not eager for the trial to come here but would support it if Lawlis thinks Corpus Christi is the best place for Brewer to get a fair trial. Jasper County would pay for costs relating to the trial, Borchard said, but Nueces County would be responsible for providing extra security.
"The county is not volunteering to have the trial here, but if it's selected, we'll do what the law allows to make it safe," Borchard said. He said Jasper officials met with City Manager David Garcia and other city and county officials at City Hall.

Beijing Bubble, Beijing Bust: Inequality, Trade, and Capital Inflow into China
This paper explores the relationships between inequality, trade, and capital flows into China since the early 1990s and particularly in the first years of the present decade. We show that the rise in economic inequality in China has more to do directly with the activities associated with China's financial and building boom, notably in Beijing, than with the massive growth in manufacturing employment and in Chinese exports since China joined the WTO in 2001. Nevertheless, it is likely that a flow of profits from the export boom did feed the speculative fires in the capital and elsewhere, and therefore it should be no surprise that the fall of one should be linked to the fall of the other, in a particularly painful reduction of economic inequality.

Introducing the 21 Must-Read Books for Fall

Ted Vaill: Mitt Romney, the Republicans' default choice for President no one really likes, deserves to be asked the hard questions such as those directed by Jeff Daniels to the panel of GOP candidates in Adam Sorkin's "Newsroom",
"Sluts" Tell Moralistic Busybodies to Pound Sand
Julie Driscoll: I'll be damned if I'll get my boss' permission to be a slut on my own time. If I start having sex on my office desk, then maybe it's his business – until then, stay out of my bedroom.
Latino Conservatives? GOP Hopes Misplaced
Victoria DeFrancesco Soto: The GOP, however, shouldn't hold its breath. The idea that Latinos are social conservatives akin to white evangelicals is simply off-base.
God's Body, God's Plan: The Komen Foundation Furor and Abortion as Black/Latino "Genocide"
Sikivu Hutchinson: Religious Right charlatans who preach an anti-government mantra are vociferously opposed to progressive health care, birth control, foster care and school discipline policies, as well as to repealing racist sentencing laws and prisoner reentry policies.
Republicans Ramp Up War on Women
Tanya Somanader: Republicans in Congress and across the country are introducing a variety pack of extreme anti-abortion bills — including personhood initiatives, heartbeat bills, and fetal pain bills — that saw some success last year.
The GOP's 10 Most Extreme Attacks on a Woman's Right to Choose
Tanya Somanader: 10 bills stood out as particularly perturbing and far-reaching efforts to stymie women's access to abortion services, birth control, and vital health services like breast cancer screenings.
Dangerous Distortions: Anti-Abortion Fascists and Third World Allies
Sikivu Hutchinson and Diane Arellano: As with the abortion-as-black-genocide billboards unleashed by the far right Radiance Foundation, the Latino billboards evoke reductive hyper-religious narratives of sinning promiscuous bad women and "breeder" good women.
Time for a Pro-Quality-of-Life Movement
Tina Dupuy: The wedge issue of abortion is a red herring. It's a giant distraction – a shiny thing we all focus on and a drain on resources which could actually be going to making "life" better for American children.
Abortion Foes Don't Care About Women's Rights or Civil Rights
David Love: Meanwhile, theocratic GOP members of Congress are proposing the crudely worded "The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." Current law allows for federal funding of abortions only in the case of rape or incest.
Canada's Prime Minister Finally Exposes His Christian Right, Anti-Abortion Agenda
Charley James: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper always swore he had no interest in changing Canada's pro-choice laws and abortion availability. But in recent days, he revealed his true, anti-choice, hard right, nature.
Pass the Health Care Bill: Then Improve It
Peter Dreier: It is incredibly irresponsible for some radicals and progressives to call for killing the health care bill. It is important to push for changes that would improve the Senate version of the bill. For example, the House funding plan (a tax on families with incomes over $1 million) is much better than the Senate version (a tax on so-called "Cadillac" health insurance plans). That's what the labor movement, liberal and progressive Democrats in Congress, pro-choice advocates, and others will be doing in hopes of putting a better bill on President Obama's desk, as Harold Meyerson discusses in his latest Washington Post column.
Forty More Days
As long as the Democratic leadership insists on being directed by the supposed wisdom of this advice, they will continue down their present path to an electoral train wreck next November as bad or worse than the one they suffered in 1994, when they played their cards the same way.
Sotomayor and the Republicans
Put on your seatbelts. Many Republicans have been itching for this fight. They figure if they can make Sonia Sotomayor appear "too liberal," "too activist," or "intemperate" — and cause Obama to withdraw her nomination, or if they can defeat her outright — they can slow the Obamomentum that's leading to universal health care, cap-and-trade, […]

Seven years ago Daniel, Mario and Luc founded the EDOlounge. Today we have almost 250 members. In the beginning there were only a few communities in the broad field of "experience design", but today they are numerous communities, conferences and networks.
We have organized events, reported about conferences, met interesting people and a lot more. Now it is time for us to realize new ideas. In three months we will close the EDOlounge, but we invite you to stay in touch with each other and to connect through Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Flickr and so on.
Below we have listed a number of interesting groups and networks. Perhaps we will see you again there soon.
First of all we want to thank you for your interest in EDO, the exchange and your participation in events and field trips and we hope EDO was a stimulating inspiration to you.
Thank you very much!
With best regards,

What's wrong, thujonzzkelleeyzexperience? Do you have any evidence to support trashing GME at every turn? Or are you just afraid of how high GME is going and you have to try to keep it down by badmouthing GME so you will not lose big on your shorts?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
$2.25 billion, YES BILLION, NOT MILLION in liabilities. jeezus christ! dying bizzness model. meh
I am going to explain something to you, and give you a little business education.
First off, GME total liabilities are approximately 2.5 billion dollars. Of that, 2.3 billion are current liabilities. Current essentially means short term. I borrow $10 to buy an item today, payable in 30 days. Tomorrow I sell the item for $13. I have $13. I have a liability of $10 that I must pay in 30 days. I will not pay it now, because I have use of all $13 for the rest of the 30 days. But the $10 is a current liability.
GME has over $2.4 billion in current assets. The last I checked, over $2.4 billion is greater than $2.3 billion. Also, their total assets are $5.4 billion and their stockholder equity is almost $3 billion. GME is quite solvent. However this could change if they do not adapt to a changing business environment. It appears that they are adapting.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! Your "evidence" is rejected. Try again if and when you learn something about business, other than being a short-seller.

The more Albert Pujols talked about St. Louis, the more he smiled. Next Tuesday at Anaheim, Pujols will play against the Cardinals for the first time — in the regular season, in spring training, in anything other than an intrasquad game. When I asked what it will feel like to stand at home plate and see his close friend Yadier Molina crouching behind it, Pujols thought back on 11 years of faces, names and championships.
Cardinals Remain Part of Pujols
