Theme's and topics (extensive)
The Concept of the Protective Scope in Private and Public Law
Laura di Bella, Wouter den Hollander
The violation of a statutory provision not only potentially triggers criminal prosecution or some form of administrative sanctioning, but also civil liability. Several EU Member States rely on the so-called Schutznorm doctrine in this respect. So does the Netherlands. Establishing liability for the violation of a statutory provision requires, in addition to a causal link between violation and damage, the damage to be within the protective scope of the violated provision. In the perception of many the Dutch Supreme Court in a way 'misuses' the determination of the protective scope of a violated provision to deliberately shelter public authorities from civil liability. Interestingly, Dutch administrative courts have recently been given the opportunity to decide on the protective scope of statutory provisions as well, while the CJEU decided upon the protective scope of the European Directive on Environmental Impact Assessment (Leth) and the anti-cartel provision of Article 101 TFEU (Kone).
In this workshop, we will discuss the horizontal interaction between civil and administrative courts, and the vertical interaction between the CJEU and national courts. We will focus on the following questions:
- What to think of the criticism on the case law of the Dutch Supreme Court? And what to think about the case law of the Dutch administrative courts in this respect?
- Do the diverging procedural law regimes influence the decision of material law on the protective scope of the violated provision in the civil and administrative courts and what to think about that development?
- What to think of the approach by the Court of Justice of the European Union?
Sector-specific horizontal interaction
Ali Mohammed, Hetty ten Oever, Stijn Voskamp
In this workshop, we will focus on the following questions:
- What are the implications and consequences of embedding a publicly regulated legal relationship into private law?
- What are the problems that will arise? And how can they be solved?
Particularly, issues arise in legal relationships between a private legal person that provides a service of public interest and a similar private entity, public authority or an individual. We will address these questions in the context of (i) the financial relationship between the government and education institutions, (ii) contractual agreements between schools and students and/or parents, and (iii) contractual agreements between health insurers and health care providers.
Enforcement of public and private law
René Hage, Alke Metselaar
In this workshop, we will focus on the following questions:
- To what extent does the insertion of a norm in a particular legal system affects its interpretation and application?
- In order to assess whether unlawful State aid has been granted and under EU Law can be reclaimed, judges of civil courts sometimes rely on a balancing of interests. How can this be explained and is such a trend also discernable (in a different manner) within the area of administrate law?
- The duties of care in the Act on Financial Supervision are derived from the general duty of care in the Dutch Civil Code (7:401 BW). To what extent does the interpretation of the duty of care in administrative law runs parallel with the interpretation of the duty of care in civil law? Is it safe to say that an entrepreneur who acted in compliance with his 'administrative' duties of care, no longer has to fear for 'civil' sanctions as well?
- To what extent can or should core concepts of public and civil law make way for the enforcement of specific norms? What risks are involved?
- To what extent can the concept of nullity be extended in order to reclaim unlawful state aid? What is the relevance of key principles such as party autonomy and what is the role of the courts? Is it possible that an administrative court will intervene, in order to uphold a norm such as article 108 sub 3 TFEU, when annulment is not a possibility?
- Based on art. 12.2. Telecommunications Act, the Authority for Consumers and Markets possesses a dispute settling function. Telecom companies may submit disputes concerning questions such as the degree to which provisions from verbal agreements violate the Telecommunications Act. To what extent should the ACM take the concept of nullity of art. 3:40 and the corresponding jurisprudence into account?
- What are the risks of parallel enforcement through the use of civil and public law?
- To what extent does the insertion of a norm in a particular legal system affects its interpretation and application?
The European Court of Human Rights and Vertical Integration: Demarcating Spheres of Influence and Dialogical Perspectives
Lize Glas, Ingrid Leijten
The vertical relationship between the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR, Court) and the States parties to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is a complicated one. This has become especially clear over the past years, in which the criticism of the Court's judgments by politicians and judges alike has significantly increased. It brings up the question on how the legitimacy of the Convention system can be enhanced. Different answers to this question can be formulated.
- On one hand, it might be useful to delineate more clearly the instances in which the ECtHR has the last word, and the issues that should be left to the domestic authorities. This could for example be done by using a core of rights perspective at the ECtHR level.
- On the other hand, the interaction between the States and the ECtHR (backed up by the Committee of Ministers) might be improved with the help of possibilities for dialogue. These possibilities relate to various procedural aspects of the protective mechanism established by the ECHR and have the potential of smoothening the relation between the Court and the domestic authorities.
Enforcement of EU law on a national level: what role for fundamental rights and principles?
Elsbeth Beumer, Pim Geelhoed
Within the European Union, it is absolutely impossible to regard law enforcement as a policy area for which EU law and the ECHR are irrelevant. That counts for substantive rules, for instance in competition law or relating to drug trafficking, but also for general legal principles and fundamental rights. Their European origin and their binding nature make them an interesting research object. In this workshop, we would like to discuss the law enforcement relevance of general principles of EU law and of the fundamental rights that are enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the ECHR. We will approach that somewhat broad topic by discussing firstly the influence of fundamental rights on the enforcement of competition law at the national level and secondly the meaning of general legal principles for criminal law enforcement by the future European Public Prosecutor's Office. Both discussion points touch upon the (vertical) influence of EU/ECHR fundamental rights and principles on the law enforcement on a national level.
Courts confronted with international and European law: interpreting national law in a multilevel legal order
Judit Altena, Anneloes Kuiper
National courts must interpret their domestic law in accordance with European law, mostly directives. This mechanism of consistent interpretation of national laws differs from the Dutch method for the interpretation of international law. However, the European Court of Justice seems to have imposed a duty for the implementation of European law that extends beyond its international law counterpart. Part of the workshop is devoted to analysing how this European duty of consistent interpretation affects the interpretation of national law. It will be argued that even though the Court of Justice says the duty is embedded in national interpretation, at least interpretation in the Dutch legal system is altered by the duty. Therefore, the question whether consistent interpretation constitutes a method of interpretation raises itself. Next to this question, attention will be paid to the impact of consistent interpretation on the constitutional relations between courts and the national legislature. Does it indeed make, as current legal scholarship suggests, the court more autonomous in its interpretation? This question is further complicated by the confluence of international and European law in Dutch case law, to which the second part of the workshop is devoted. Will the judge give priority to international or to European law in case the two conflict, and why does he do so? Finally, the question will be asked whether this convergance of international and European law can have an influence on the compliance of international regulations by European states.
The financial crisis and the impact of Europe on national parliamentary and stakeholder interests
Michal Diamant, Tom Dijkhuizen, Lynette Janssen
The financial crisis has had a grave impact on financial systems globally and triggered in the European Union a sovereign debt crisis followed by a euro crisis. To counter the effects of these crises and to prevent a future crisis, numerous measures were taken and procedures were put in place at the European level. As a consequence of this new and strengthened European legislation in the field of financial institutions and governments' budgets, many different national interests have been affected.
In this workshop the question addressed will be what is the impact of the strengthened European legislation on these different national interests. This question will be addressed from three different angles:
- What is the effect of the strengthened European economic governance on the position of shareholders with regard to the remuneration of banks' executives?
- What is the effect of the strengthened and expanded European bank insolvency regime on the interests of, inter alia, creditors and shareholders of banks on a national level?
- What is the effect of the strengthened European economic governance on national parliamentary participation with the national budget?
European law and private law: meeting of the minds
Gitta Veldt, Ruben de Graaff
In the current multilevel legal order, private relationships are governed by rules rooted in different international, European and national regimes, with a public or private law character. As a consequence, the outcome of private dispute resolution is not only a matter of balancing the interests of the parties and respecting private autonomy, but will involve constitutional principles, such as hierarchy and supremacy.
Public and private law scholars come from different traditions and approach matters from different perspectives. This raises the question whether a common ground can be found on how to approach matters of European private law. Are there commonly negotiated and shared principles for addressing the overlap and conflict between European law and private law?
In this workshop, we will further explain and discuss the influence of European law on private relationships. Special attention will be given to the area of product safety law and to the overlap and conflict of concurring claims.
The implementation of children's rights for vulnerable groups
Yannick van den Brink, Mark Klaassen
Since the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child twenty-five years ago, the protection of children's rights is firmly rooted in international law. One of the four general principles of the Convention is that the best interests of the child should be a primary consideration in all actions concerning children. There are numerous actions which might affect children. The parties which have ratified the Convention are obliged to make sure that the best interests of children are secured. This is especially relevant in cases in which children are in a vulnerable position. Examples of such situations are children who get involved with the juvenile justice system, get confronted with youth protection programmes or are experiencing problems relating to their immigration status.
In this workshop, the interaction between international children's rights and other legal systems with respect to the protection of the most vulnerable children will be discussed. The discussion will include, but is not limited to, the domestic implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
For our call for blogs, we have formulated the following questions to inspire contributors:
- Do vulnerable groups of children get adequate protection in the light of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child?
- Does the implementation of children's rights differ among different disciplines of law?
- How do international tribunals implement the obligations of the contracting parties arising from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into account in their own case law?
- What are the shortcomings of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child relating to the protection of especially vulnerable children?
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights as an Importer and Exporter of International Norms
Hanna Bosdriesz, Patricia Uribe
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights is a particularly active actor in matters of interaction with other legal systems, both domestic and international. As a producer of new concepts and norms, it has actively sought to export Latin American innovations from its own jurisprudence to other regional and international jurisdictions. At the same time, the Court has also served as a recipient or transmitter of external norms, and as such it has imported international norms developed in other legal systems. It has often transferred those norms directly to the level of Latin American states and encouraged their implementation at state level. In these importing and exporting exercises, the Court has moved beyond the boundaries of traditional human rights law, in particular through the import and transposition of norms from international criminal law and humanitarian law.
This seminar focuses on the role of the Inter-American Court as a transmitter of international norms. It zeroes in on (i) the import of international criminal law norms and (ii) the export of 'new' human rights, like the right to truth and the right to identity. The seminar aims to identify underlying features that characterise the IACtHR in terms of its openness to other legal systems and its willingness to being part of a broader international legal enterprise. In doing so, the seminar also reflects on the broader question of how interaction between legal systems may impact on and possibly improve the quality of substantive norms, and how it may ultimately foster implementation of those norms.
The 'others' amongst 'us': Western societies, 'otherness' and the law
Moritz Jesse
In a time of economic crisis, social divides become particularly visible. They affect notably minorities. Underlying is the fact that minorities at large and immigrants in particular tend to be conceived of as 'others', which raises the question of the construction and effect of 'otherness' in law in our Western societies. Managing increasing diversity in effective ways whilst preserving legitimate interests of all members of society is a real challenge, not merely an academic or judicial question. In this workshop, we will try to chart mechanisms of this otherness in the law of the EU and its Member States. In addition, legislation from other States, such as the USA, Canada, Australia, or Japan will be of interest. We will try to identify what has caused legislative differentiations of immigrants and various groups of immigrants and what the unintended effects of legislative choices can be. Special attention will be paid to the interaction of EU and national legal orders as well as the cross fertilization of socio-legal discussions in all jurisdictions studied. Overall, the objective is to identify patterns leading to similar effects in various jurisdictions and legal cultures.
The workshop will consist of two rounds:
- an expert panel consisting of experts from the jurisdictions mentioned.
- a panel of young researchers.
This call invites papers from young researchers around the world working on immigration related topics and the 'othering' of immigrants through law.

Can You Have Fun at Under 200 Horsepower?
For a vast majority of us, we will never drive a car that is our own that has over 200 horsepower. There are a few reasons we are going to be left out of the high-powered class of vehicles. First of all, most of us will certainly scoff at the idea of spending the money on a car that offers a high horsepower number because the shear price tag turns us away. Second is the lack of need, what will this additional horsepower be for and where can we drive it, so with practicality in mind it just doesn't make sense. Third is fuel mileage. Less power typically equates to better fuel mileage, making it an easy choice between the two as we don't want to be pumping gas 3-4 times a week for our power hungry V8 beast.
Because of all these reasons doesn't it make sense to have something fun to drive that falls in our range of driving? Certainly many car manufacturers feel that way and offer several models that are both fun to drive and fall in the under 200 horsepower club to give us the fuel mileage (at least most of them) that we desire.

Saw one of these at a gunshow yesterday (new), and it was a beauty. Nice hooded front sight, beautiful wood and bluing. The asking price was I think $935. I'm thinking this is about a perfect Canada/Alaska rifle, with the recoil of the cartridge being tamed somewhat by the semi action, nice irons, and quick follow up shots available if dangerous game is coming after you. I want one at some point. Please tell me about your BAR if you have one - thanks.

We begin our night at House of Blues. The foxy members of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club laze about the stage, all tight jeans and shabby shirts. They look as if they should be onstage at CBGB. Well, sort of—something's off. Something's off because they appear sober and lucid, their pants a touch too clean, their vocals a bit too clear. We look around and realize we are standing in a space as clean and clinical as an operating room.
It's hard to put a finger on it. The show is fine. The show is great, in fact. BRMC does its job, churning out garage rock that should be sloppy but is tight and professional instead. We are having a fine time, dancing gently to the music, eyes riveted to the bright stage, but something is missing. We're a little...bored.
So we leave early, not a bit remorseful at missing the late half of the show and what we are sure will be a perfectly acceptable encore. The valet attendant lays a palm face up and we slap our ticket into his hand and the Buick is retrieved, and we pile in and we are off. Through Victory Park (embarrassing how the specter of the Mavericks' mortifying collapse still taints the air) and eastward toward Deep Ellum.

Valet parking—again!—and a few steps across Elm Street and we are inside the cave-like coziness of Club Dada. The place is packed and buzzing with happy energy, like a birthday party. In fact, it is the birthday of some band member or other.
Airline is playing, and, man, do they sound good. We have heard them play a few times, at the Barley House and other such places, but never in the dark, beer-soaked confines of Dada, a place where you just can't help but feel rock 'n' roll. Yes, Dada's legendary sound man Bobcat has finally abandoned his place behind the knobs, but still, maybe it's the air in there, or maybe it's the fact that Dada now stands as the cornerstone of a gasping neighborhood, but Airline has never sounded better. The group is pounding away, blasting tight country-tinged rock across the room. They sound the kind of good that makes us stop mid-conversation and cock an ear toward the stage.
And they are not even the headlining band. The headliners are Hendrick. We have mixed feelings about Hendrick, but they win us over this night. They win us over as they kick off their set with a straight-up rendition of "Where the Streets Have No Name," then move on to a series of their signature power pop songs. They win us over because they are loud and tight, because they are crowding the stage, because they wouldn't want to be anywhere else on earth. We grin through the haze of cigarette smoke; we instinctively take a few steps toward the stage, our tennis shoes reluctantly releasing their grip on the sticky floor. We are proud to be here.
And then it's over. We spill out of the club and onto the sidewalk, back across Elm Street and to the car. We pile in, giggling, and the engine starts and the car crawls down the asphalt toward home. Normally, we are a cynical bunch, but as we slowly drive by the cops busting some kids outside Blue, we wonder how it is a neighborhood can just up and die. How a collection of streets that is so important to so many people, people who once filled those same streets, could gradually become empty. And we wonder aloud whether resurrection is possible, or whether the death blow will be swift and sudden or continue its steady, purposeful pace. And on this night, as the air hangs humid and heavy in that Texas way, we chat quietly as the hip-hop station plays in the background, and we are happy at least that we decided to go out.

Next time you're about to go under the knife, you might want to ask what your surgeon was up to the previous night.
Hungover surgeons are more likely to botch the job even if they have no detectable traces of alcohol in their blood, a study has found.
Researchers in the United Kingdom told eight surgeons and 16 medical students to go out partying, and then measured their surgical skills the next day on a virtual-reality system that mimics laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). The surgeons who indulged made 50 per cent more errors than usual, even though only one had measurable blood-alcohol levels, Reuters reports.
"It is likely that surgeons are unaware that next-day surgical performance may be compromised as a result of significant alcohol intake," writes Anthony Gallagher of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and colleagues in the Archives of Surgery.
That's a "well, duh!" conclusion for high-performance athletes and students cramming for final exams.
But surgeons are more prone to hazardous drinking than other physicians, according to a 2005 Norwegian study. And researchers at Yale University found that alcohol is the most common addiction among physicians overall.
But booze isn't the only thing to worry about before you go out cold.
Sleep deprivation impairs co-ordination and precision as much as alcohol consumption does, Business Week reports. Inadequate shut-eye affects surgeons' clinical performance so much that authors in the New England Journal of Medicine recently advised doctors to not perform surgery unless a patient gives written consent after being informed of their sleep-deprived status.
For surgeons, is it time for full disclosure?
Should surgeons have strict guidelines to control their sleeping and drinking habits? How would you go about asking whether your surgeon was partying the night before?
Editor's note: An earlier version of this blog post incorrectly stated that hungover surgeons made twice as many errors as usual. This version has been corrected.

It was NT$1650 including delivery to my local 7-11. Not too bad of a price considering it was a USA import (it has the ESRB rating on the cover). Usually I don't like to pay more than NT$999 for a game but in the case of SSX I'll make an exception.
Yep, used these guys as well. Mass Effect 3 was delivered to the 7-11 down the road, and the two Prototypes were sent to my house, but I had to pay using the electronic kiosk at the local Family Mart. Weirdly, Prototype was advertised at over 2 grand, so I thought I'd skip it. Then when I ordered Prototype 2 there was a link to Prototype for 700NT.
Finished off Mass Effect 2 over the weekend. Fantastic stuff, even managed to keep my whole team alive, but did lose half the crew.
Now I'm charging through Prototype, close to finishing the story, but there are loads of other challenges. Was a bit disappointed at first until I'd got a bunch of upgrades and started seeing how things really do click together very nicely. Although I understand what the developers meant when they said they regretted making the game not just difficult, but unfairly difficult in places. The gore and violence is just comically absurd.
Got a bunch of half-finished games to work on next before getting stuck into Mass Effect 3.

Really enjoyed it, but Uncharted 2 is far and away the most enjoyable game I've ever owned, except for maybe Conquests of Camelot (back in about 1990 - although I do have it again now, playable through that dosbox application wotsit).
What's the Vita like? Never owned a handheld console, thinking hard about this one.

Halos in thick of expanded playoff format
Halos in thick of expanded playoff format
The extra berth could mean an extended life for the Angels this season, though it also means there are more teams vying for a spot in the playoffs.
"I think any time you put more teams in the running, it becomes a little bit more difficult," catcher Chris Iannetta said. "It's very tough to overtake more than one team. If you're looking to overtake one team and you play them a few times, the path is a little bit more manageable. When there are a lot of teams in front of you, it's a little tougher. So it definitely makes it more interesting when there's a lot of teams involved."
Manager Mike Scioscia had his own take on how the changes are playing out.
"I don't know if I would use the word interesting," Scioscia said. "There's definitely an extra life line that could give a team at least an opportunity to play their way into the playoffs. I think what we're seeing is what we expected: a whole new division that opens up the last month of the season. I don't know if it's good or bad that we're in that division, because you'd certainly like to be leading your own division as opposed to trying to get your way into have an opportunity to win and make the playoffs. But we are where we are. You're still in the hunt."
And what of the new one-game playoff between the two Wild Card winners?
"Coming down to one game is better than staying at home," Scioscia said.

Pott disease, also called tuberculous spondylitis or tuberculosis of the spine, disease caused by infection of the spinal column, or vertebral column, by the tuberculosis bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pott disease is characterized by softening and collapse of the vertebrae, often resulting in a hunchback curvature of the spine. The condition is named after an English surgeon, Sir Percivall Pott, who described it in a monograph published in 1779. The infection begins in the body of the vertebra (the most common site of bone tuberculosis) and spreads slowly to contiguous structures. Abscesses may form and drain into soft tissues adjacent to the spine, causing pain in sites distant from the infection. Occasionally the spinal nerves are affected, and paralysis may result. Affected persons complain of pain on movement and tend to assume a protective, stiff position. The course of the disease is slow, lasting months or years. Treatment includes chemotherapy against the M. tuberculosis bacillus and orthopedic care of the spinal column. Modern treatment has made Pott disease rare in developed countries, but in less-developed countries it still accounts for up to 2 percent of all tuberculosis cases and particularly affects children.

It is no secret, most people trading stocks lose money, especially new traders. I was certainly no exception.
The reason for this is often a lack of understanding of the stock market basics. It's important to take your time to learn about different brokers, different trading styles, risk management, strategy and much more.
I was all too eager to get started trading at first, I didn't spend anywhere near enough time learning how to trade stocks. I had to learn from my mistakes but you can learn from me and prevent making the mistakes I made!
This webinar's aim is to provide you with insight and education
on the stock market basics to help you get started. After the webinar, you'll have more information so you can make an informed decision as to whether stock trading is for you longer term. If so, you may choose to enroll in our 1-on-1 stock trading program to build your skill.

A MNC brand might spend millions on advertising to push their products, to improve their brand recall etc. But the power of a single blog post like this one beats all that IMO.
You just cannot afford to piss off a popular blogger cos' in effect you are screwing up so much else. And when a well-known blogger writes a post this about his/her problems with something there is a chance it'll get mentioned about, linked to by her readers, followers (and fans) on their sites, blogs (Now this complaint might be about a simple broken AC.. but, if it had been a seriouser problem there is a good chance it might've gotten micro-viral).
And at a time when most buyers do all their product research online, a simple screw up by the local dealership in responding to a service call/complaint might cost it a lot of business.
The brands might soon have to find a way to make sure such 'people with big voices' are taken care of well (of course the easiest way out of this would be to provide good support to all their customers).

Commentary: Why Berlusconi Should Help Fiat Shrink
By Gail Edmondson
The June 10 dismissal of Fiat Chief Executive Paolo Cantarella is the surprise ending to a sad chapter in the Italian auto maker's history. During his 12-year tenure, the 57-year-old engineer presided over a steady decline in the fortunes of flagship Fiat Auto (FIA ), which has lost $2.6 billion over the past four years and an additional $403 million in the first quarter.
Now it has reached the point where Fiat is not just an investment catastrophe. It is a political emergency of the first order. For all his preaching in favor of the free market, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi does not want to preside over the collapse of Italy's most revered industrial icon, or see it fall into the hands of foreigners.
But Berlusconi is in a fix. A big old-style government bailout is not an option, as long as EU competition watchdog Mario Monti sits in Brussels. So the best that Berlusconi's people have come up with so far is a proposal to grant small tax breaks designed to stimulate purchases of new cars.
There's one strategy Berlusconi could pursue to help both Fiat and Italy: support a radical downsizing of the Turin-based carmaker that gives it a shot at survival. Fiat has a manufacturing capacity for 2 million units but sold only 1.4 million cars last year. Its market share has dropped from 13.8% in 1990 to 8.3%, and analysts say there's little chance of it recouping much.
That means Fiat desperately needs to cut capacity and jobs to rein in costs. "What Fiat needs more than anything else is Berlusconi's support for closing production and layoffs," says Karl Ludvigson, a London auto-industry consultant and former Fiat executive. Newly appointed Fiat Auto CEO Giancarlo Boschetti has promised to close three production lines and lay off 3,000 workers. But industry insiders say that's not nearly enough. Production cuts on the order of 15% to 20% would give Fiat a better chance of recovery. And of a total 38,000 employees in Italy, at least 15% should go.
Supporting a layoff of 6,000 Italians sounds like a recipe for political suicide, doesn't it? True, layoffs are political dynamite in Italy. But if he plays his cards right, Berlusconi could yet use the crisis at Fiat to transcend hard-line ideological differences and jump-start a national dialogue on broad-based labor market reforms. Fiat's struggles could also provide the catalyst for policies designed to spur economic renewal rather than defend the status quo.
Picture this: Berlusconi goes on TV to tell the nation the truth about Fiat and why the auto maker needs a massive restructuring to survive as a smaller but healthier company. The Prime Minister vows to support the painful transition with a massive retraining program for laid-off workers. Government officials invite employers in northern Italy, who are desperate for qualified employees, to draft a blueprint of industry's needs.
To further soften the social impact of a radical Fiat overhaul, the government also could provide laid-off workers with unemployment insurance--which is not universal in Italy, though it should be. Nothing for Monti to object to there. The partially government-funded scheme could eventually be extended nationwide--a move that may nudge Italy's hard-line unions to make some concessions of their own. This policy mix has been successfully deployed in economically hard-hit areas such as Dresden and Jena in eastern Germany. Even in Italy, an ambitious retraining program and state-aided layoffs at Poste Italiane have transformed the bankrupt postal service into a profitable company.
On the campaign trail, Berlusconi pledged to lay the foundations for a modern economy that could compete in the era of globalization. Fiat is an object lesson on the perils of old-style Italian protectionism. By helping Fiat shrink to a size commensurate with its capacity to sell cars, Berlusconi could be writing a fresh chapter in the carmaker's troubled history, rather than its epilogue.

Five industry experts scope out the year ahead.
Dundas: It's important to understand that sustainability is a holistic concept that includes not only products and manufacturing practices, but also the policies that define a business organization's internal culture. This is more than just "pie in the sky." For example, ISA member shops in the architectural signage segment already recognize that important aspects of their future prosperity depend on adopting green practices that conform to the operating principles embraced by their clients. Sustainable and eco-friendly practices not only help firms to attract new business, but also help them to save money by eliminating a broad range of inefficiencies.
Florek: If 2007 and 2008 were years of excess hype for sustainable solutions, 2009 might commence a period of inevitable reaction against environmental marketing. Indeed, the use of the term "greenwashing" is already widespread. To my mind, the problem with environmental marketing is similar to the problem with marketing total cost of ownership. In both cases, the numbers can be massaged to such an extent that OEMs can make any product seem to excel in terms of sustainability. It simply depends on the standard one uses.
Marx: Let's take "green" out of the equation for a moment and view sustainability from an entirely different angle. Sure, we all have a sense of what environmental sustainability is, but let's focus instead on corporate sustainability, which relates to keeping your company on track and on an even keel. Fair hiring practices are ultimately a liability issue tied to a regulatory framework, as are discrimination on the job, sexual harassment, worker safety, financial impropriety, etc. A company that has a plan in place to address these issues now, before they become problems, is much less likely to face a lawsuit, and is less likely to pay out stiff fines for regulatory violations or even stiffer court settlements. Protecting the environment, plus protecting your employees, plus meeting your regulatory and moral obligations equals sustaining your business for the long term. Think of it this way: "Sustainability" is people, planet and profit; "green" is environment only.
Is it the "usual suspects" of applications that will remain our market's top applications? Or are there some specific applications that are now on the decline? Any others on the upswing?

Hi y'all!
This month, the area I am going to be focusing on is my home office. Our office is currently located in the basement, in a nice, big room. My hubby and I each have our own desk and computer (poor Americans!), and a walk-in closet to house the stuff I sell online. Well, our college girl is not going to be living on campus this year. Rather, to save us tuition money, she is moving back home and into the basement, and our current office will become her new bedroom. Our new office space will be moved upstairs to the nice, small guest room.
My hubby's L-shaped desk, bookcase, file hutch, his desk chair, one of the computers, and the printers and scanner (we are getting an all-in-one Canon PIXMA) will be sold on Craigslist. What IS going back in the room is my L-shaped desk, my desk chair, a bench, and a smaller etagere' as a bookshelf. That's it. Oh, and no walk-in closet for my on-line selling stuff.
So, naturally, I am searching catalog sites, blogs, and Pinterest for ideas to maximize the space on the walls of the 9′ x 10′ room. I have found a plethora (I sound so intelligent when I use this word; don't I?) of magnificently amazing ideas! I am not sure I can use all of them, so I thought I'd share them with you.
What I love about this space is that the desk isn't pushed into the corner. This room belongs to Marsha at The Savvy Photographer Blog. Not only does Marsha have a beautiful office, she has a wonderful eye for photography! Her husband is in the Navy and they just moved to Japan.
This wall pocket and chalkboard wall comes to us via Better Homes & Gardens in a series called Ideas for Strategic Organization and Storage. Our office will have these. I like being able to catch the school papers, mail, coupons, and paper bits in each person's own pocket so THEY can manage their own ephemera.
Kathryn Bechen's office is simply beautiful! With a slip-covered chair, a French-ish desk, and lots of organizing boxes and baskets that hide paper, this space is cozy and composed!
One of my biggest pet peeves and hardest thing to figure out how to hide is all the cords that come with all office equipment. Are yours laying on the floor under or next to your desk? Mine, too! Melissa, of Seagrass Interiors says about her pet peeve area: "From a standing position you can see one outlet with a single chord. We built a track system that sits right below the desk top. It's almost like a trough that cradles all of our chords." This solution will be implemented in my office.
The front of our desk's file drawers are covered in wainscoting, but, if they were plain and flat and ugly, like this…
I would do this to them.
Isn't that pretty? Anaglypta wallpaper, trim, and paint is what Ally at Laughing at the Days used. She shows you how in THIS POST.
What if all you have is a spare closet to make an office from? This is what Deb Nelson did for a client of hers. Brilliant!
Blogs and coffee. Favorites of mine. So is etsy, and this print from Jennifer Ramos will find its way into a frame and onto one of my shelves.
How about you? Could you use any of these ideas?
I actually don't mind having to switch spaces with Miss College girl. I am looking forward to re-making our space so it is organized, simplified, and prettified!
If you'd like to see more office ideas, I invite you to visit my Pinterest page.
Happy Home Making!

I am trying to create a hash (I can use any algorithm) but I need only alphanumeric codes in the resulting string. I can do this in Java but I can't come up with a way to do the same thing in PHP. Can someone help? TIA.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
Depends on the hashing algorithm, but if you have binary output then bin2hex() or base64_encode() are the best solutions.
base64 returns only alphanums, so just base64 the resulting hash

I assume you mean base64_encode. That is what I am using but it returns alphanumeric and special characters.
I am using the MD5 algorithm.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
Unless you pass a true value as the second argument to md5, the value it gives you is going to be alphanumeric already. By default the function returns a hex representation of the hash.
If the binary hash is coming from some external system, you could either hash it a second time to get an alphanumeric value, or you could manually convert it to a hex representation using pack and substr.
The maximum safe integer size in PHP is 4 bytes, and a binary md5 hash is 20 bytes, so you won't be able to pass it through either pack or bin2hex in one pass. However, I don't think bin2hex will pad the returned value, while I'm pretty sure pack does.
base64 encoding using non-alphanumeric characters, but any encoding under base62 would work.
Last edited by E-Oreo; October 2nd, 2012 at 06:40 PM.
I started out that way and was getting 32 bytes (I thought I read it was supposed to be 40). Essentially I am trying to get the hash size to a minimum. If I have to I will live with 32 but I'd like to have 20. This does not have to be a strong encryption. Strong obfuscation is sufficient.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
Sorry 20 was a mistake, md5 is actually 16 bytes. However, the ASCII character hex (ie base 16) representation of a 16 byte string is 32 bytes long. Each raw byte requires two ASCII characters to represent in base 16, and each ASCII character is 2 bytes.
sha1 is 20 bytes raw, 40 bytes represented in ASCII base 16.
The absolute minimum representation would be base 62 I think, given that there are only 62 alphanumeric characters. I don't believe there is a built in method for computing base 62, but it's possible to do in user-space and there are probably libraries for it already. Also since you know the length will always be exactly 16 bytes you could omit the padding characters.
Base encoding is hardly obfuscation, I definitely would not classify it as strong. It's pretty easy to recognize base encoding from the padding characters that often follow it.
Last edited by E-Oreo; October 2nd, 2012 at 07:25 PM.
Base 62 will take just as much space as base 64: it requires 5.95 bits and you can't have a fraction of a bit. But it might compress slightly more (given an appropriate algorithm) due to the bias towards certain bits being on or off (eg, the 2^5 bit will be off the most at 51.6% of the time).
The next step up would be base-128 but that's just crazy.
The two extremes:
1. You care more about space than representation, in which case you should stick with the binary form. But you don't want this.
2. You care more about the representation, in which case base 64 is the best compromise between encoded size and character set: printable and pretty-much-everything-safe characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and / and + (IIRC), with only a 33% increase in length. For comparison bin2hex() will give you only a-z, 0-9 but the output is twice as long.
Got it. Thanks.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
Yeah the point of using base62 would not really be to save space over base64, it would just be to eliminate the need to use non-alphanumeric characters. Base62 may actually end up taking more space than base62, but less than base 16.
Actually, base62 should take the same amount of space as base32 I believe, for the reasons mentioned by req, and it may be easier to find a base32 script than a base62 script.

Located in the very heart of the UT campus, the Hindi Urdu Flagship offers a unique environment in which to study Hindi and Urdu. A dedicated team of instructors, teaching assistants and administrators, augmented by the many Hindi-Urdu writers, scholars and professionals who visit us, gives HUF students unprecedented opportunities to study and use the two languages, and to develop a well-informed appreciation of the culture and society of South Asia.
Our goal is to bring students to a high level of proficiency in Hindi and Urdu, enabling them to use their language skills in diverse professional contexts. In order to achieve this, we have developed new pedagogical approaches and a new curriculum, immersing students in language much more deeply than is possible within a conventional undergraduate program. Following the Language Flagship mandate to 'create global professionals', the Hindi Urdu Flagship program is designed to develop students' linguistic skills to the highest possible level, with each student pursuing specializations of his or her choice.
Moving Beyond 'Language and Literature'
While traditional 'Language and Literature' programs focus primarily on artistic and cultural uses of language, the Flagship has the additional aim of developing linguistic skills in disciplines and areas directly relevant to students' long-term professional ambitions; thus each student is taken through an appropriately designed curriculum based on compatibility with his or her major, with close attention being paid to the individual student's development.Our students represent a wide variety of majors. Such diversity brings a broad spectrum of linguistic needs that we address through several essential approaches:
- A high number of hours of language study (10-12 credit hours in both the first and second year).
- Small classes, in which each student has ready access to the instructor and plays an active part in all class activities; each student's progress is carefully and continuously monitored, with additional tutorial help being offered whenever necessary.
- Extensive one-on-one tutorial attention from teaching assistants outside of the classroom.
- An extended period of language immersion in India, combining intensive language study with a professional internship related to individual students' majors.
- Specific themes and focuses in language classes: for example — ecological and environmental issues; current world and South Asian events as reflected in the Hindi and Urdu media; the use of Hindi and Urdu in the field of medicine; 'Hinglish' and linguistic change; biographical writing portraying important figures from South Asia; social themes such as gender and class; social etiquette and conventions; the distinctions of language register used in conversation, literature, formal writing, film, and other media; and the technical lexicons relevant to the worlds of science, development, and public administration.
- Opportunities to hear and engage with distinguished Hindi and Urdu writers and artists who are invited to visit UT and work with our students.
- The development of innovative authentic learning and teaching materials, many being designed for self- study through such media as podcasts and web-based video.
