ProPublica Appoints Senior Editor
Joe Sexton, an editor and reporter at The New York Times for more than two decades, has been appointed as one of ProPublica's senior editors. Sexton will manage a stable of staff reporters and oversee some of the organization's major investigations.
Sexton joins ProPublica after having had a hand in three recent Pulitzer Prizes – for breaking news, feature writing and investigative reporting. Sexton, who most recently served The Times as its sports editor, ran the paper's metropolitan desk for five years. His work as a sportswriter was also included in The Best American Sports Writing, 1992.
"Joe Sexton is one of the finest editors in the business," ProPublica editor-in-chief Stephen Engelberg said. "His steady hand and inspirational leadership have been behind some of the biggest stories in New York and the world of sports in the past decade. His metro staff's reporting led to the resignation of then New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, and their subsequent work forced Spitzer's successor, David Paterson, to abandon his bid for election. Sexton's tenure as sport editor was marked by enterprise and innovation. John Branch's devastating series on a hockey enforcer, 'Punched Out,' was a Pulitzer finalist last year. And the sports department's work with the paper's graphics and multimedia teams last month produced "Snow Fall", a project that set a new standard for online storytelling. We are delighted to add a journalist with Joe's track record and passion for accountability journalism to our editorial team.'"
"Steve Engelberg is an editor of courage and creativity," Sexton said. "The team he has helped put together at ProPublica has been engaged in some of the country's most distinctive work of ambition and impact. It's an honor and opportunity to join their pioneering efforts."
ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. In 2010, it was the first online news organization to win a Pulitzer Prize. In 2011, ProPublica won its second Pulitzer, the first ever awarded to a body of work that did not appear in print. ProPublica is supported primarily by philanthropy and provides the articles it produces, free of charge, both through its own website and often to leading news organizations selected with an eye toward maximizing the impact of each article.

The Center for Interdisciplinary Mathematics serves as a focus for interdisciplinary studies by faculty, graduate and undergraduate students at the Pennsylvania State University. Its primary aim is to foster scientific interaction and collaborations between the Mathematics Department and other scientific and technical institutes, widening the use and appreciation of modern mathematical techniques as effective research tools among a variety of disciplines.
The scientific activity of its members currently covers a number of core topics:
- Mathematical models of traffic flow.
- Optimal control and game theoretical methods in economics and finance.
- Collective motion and self-organization in living world.
- Pattern formation in evolutionary games.
- Superconductivity and superfluidity.
- Complex fluids and soft matter.

The College of Natural Resources, a department of N.C. State University, is proposing the sale of Hofmann Forest. Does anyone else find this as paradoxical as I do?
To the editor:
The College of Natural Resources, a department of N.C. State University, is proposing the sale of Hofmann Forest. Does anyone else find this as paradoxical as I do?
Mary Watzin, dean of the College of Natural Resources, states on the department�s website that the college is seeking �a more diversified portfolio of investments� and �the college is currently experiencing significant growth and has strong ambitions.�
Maybe the current influx of new students will find cozy new lodging funded by diversified investments and perhaps future students will be taught how the ill-advised and misguided decisions of a few can forever impact the natural resources that affect us all.
The lure of easy money has a very strong appeal and the profits-above-all mindset is to be expected from some; however, it is not the attitude that one would expect to find at a university department that calls itself the College of Natural Resources.
The 80,000 acres of woodland in question comprise one of the largest contiguous land holdings in the eastern part of our state. It also provides a pristine environment for the headwaters of three watersheds, the Trent, New and White Oak rivers. All profit from the area�s lack of development.
I strongly suggest that 80,000 acres of unspoiled and uninterrupted woodlands are a precious and irreplaceable natural resource that should be held for future generations and not sold to the highest bidder.
The idea itself is very troubling and even more contradictory and conflicting when one considers the name of the foundation proposing the sale: the N.C. State Natural Resources Foundation.
A quick Google search of the foundation is very informative and reveals that the Hofmann Forest brought in $4,678,645, according to the foundation�s 2010 tax return. At that rate, in a little over 20 years the forest would have produced funds equivalent to the foundation�s asking price.
The action being considered is shortsighted, irresponsible and reckless. Once the ink dries and the deal is done, the transaction can never be undone. Despite all assurances, promises and handshakes the land will one day inevitably be dotted with Burger Kings, Dollar Generals and squatty subdivisions named after the very trees and animals they have forever erased from existence � Oak Ridge, Deer Run and Quail Haven come to mind.
Perhaps the College of Natural Resources should look into offering a course on how to best name a subdivision or, better yet, how to rename a college.

The Neverending Story
Firebird, 1983 - 444 Seiten
Read the book that inspired the classic coming-of-age film! From award-winning German author Michael Ende, The Neverending Story is a classic tale of one boy and the book that magically comes to life.
When Bastian happens upon an old book called The Neverending Story, he's swept into the magical world of Fantastica--so much that he finds he has actually become a character in the story! And when he realizes that this mysteriously enchanted world is in great danger, he also discovers that he is the one chosen to save it. Can Bastian overcome the barrier between reality and his imagination in order to save Fantastica?
"An instantaneous leap into the magical . . . Energetic, innovative, and perceptive"--The Washington Post
"A trumpet blast for the imagination."--Sunday Times

The hedge trimmer attachment makes your VersAttach powerhead into a heavy duty hedge trimmer suitable for both residential and commercial use.
Whether you're shaping small bushes or taming tall hedges, the Versattach hedge trimmer attachment is right for the job. It includes an adjustable joint that pivots both left and right, to ensure comfort and maneuverability.
The hedge trimmer's blades are double sided, making it easy to cut and sculpt by moving it left or right.
The hedge trimmer attachment is part of Honda's exclusive VersAttach System. It is interchangeable with any of 5 other options: trimmer, edger, pruner, cultivator, and blower.
The hedge trimmer attachment connects with either Honda VersAttach powerhead for instant power.
The innovative SureLoc joint locking system makes it easy to connect attachments with confidence. Just push and click to lock your attachment in place. No tools are required! SureLoc takes the guesswork out of knowing if the attachment is properly secured to the powerhead.
Every VersAttach attachment comes with a handy hook for easy storage. The cap also prevents dirt and dust from building up in the spline.
Honda's unique 360 degree inclinable engine can be used, rotated, and stored in any position.
Designed to take on tough jobs without bogging down. Strong low-end torque characteristics allow many jobs to be performed at partial throttle, increasing fuel efficiency.

All year long, Scott Ross, Scott Huver, and Sasha Perl-Raver work the Hollywood trenches to bring you movie reviews, star and filmmaker interviews, and buzz-filled dispatches from the outer reaches of the movie industry, so who better to handicap this year's Oscar field?
The resident experts of PopcornBiz will now take you through the major categories (here's the complete list, if you need a refresher) and let you know who they think is going to take home a golden statue, and who they think will be getting the shaft from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. All we ask in return is that you split your inevitable Oscar pool winnings with us.
U.S. & World
ROSS: Of the 10 films nominated, none will be watched and talked about more in the future than Christopher Nolan's epic achievement, "Inception," but the Academy seems to hate him for some reason or another. Despite the late push by "The King's Speech," this is still "The Social Network"'s race to lose.
Should win: "Inception"
Will win: "The Social Network"
HUVER: Oscar un-Friended early frontrunner "The Social Network" quicker than if it's campaign included a Farmville invite. The Industry's choice is clear and without pause: "The King's Speech."
Should Win: "The Social Network"
Will Win: "The King's Speech"
PERL-RAVER: Up until a few weeks ago, "The Social Network" seemed to have this bad boy locked up, but after the DGA, PGA and SAG Awards, "The King's Speech" has edged into the lead. Since Fincher doesn't understand the meaning of the word "campaign," "The Social Network" has lost its goodwill faster than Myspace.
Should win: "The Social Network"
Will win: "The King's Speech"
ROSS: Not since Steven Spielberg has a director been treated as shabbily by the Academy as Chris Nolan, who couldn't even get nominated.
Should win: Chris Nolan
Will win: David Fincher
HUVER: Of the 82 Best Picture winners, their directors have won 60 times – but three recent disruptions occurred in 2005, 2002 and 2000. Place your bets accordingly.
Should Win: Christopher Nol...um, I mean, David Fincher
Will Win: Tom Hooper
PERL-RAVER: It's a crowded field of bad boys with Fincher, Russell and Aronofsky, all known for hijinks that include 100-take scenes and throttling movie stars. The Academy could stick by old faithfuls, the Coen Brothers, but chances are they'll go with the kindest, gentlest gentleman in the bunch.
Should win: David Fincher (only because Nolan wasn't nominated)
Will win: Tom Hooper
ROSS: Javier Bardem rolled deep in "Biutiful," as a Barcelona street hustler trying to get his kids taken cared of before he dies of cancer. But Colin Firth has this so wrapped up there's no point in discussing it further.
Should win: Javier Bardem
Will win: Colin Firth
HUVER: Colin Firth will be deservedly coronated. But wouldn't it be kinda cool to see Oscar host James Franco one-arm the trophy away?
Should Win: Colin Firth
Will Win: Colin Firth
PERL-RAVER: Colin Firth will surely receive the recognition he deserves for his role in "A Single Man." I mean, "The King's Speech."
Should win: Colin Firth
Will win: Colin Firth
ROSS: Michelle Williams in "Blue Valentine" laid bare the very darkest parts of her soul for our entertainment. But unless voters were totally put off by her Golden Globes acceptance speech, Natalie Portman will win, and will be hard to begrudge her the statue.
Should win: Michelle Williams
Will win: Natalie Portman
HUVER: Call me crazy, but despite Oscar's penchant to go to both transformative A-list glamour girls AND moms-to-be, Natalie Portman's pre-Oscar sweep and repetitive speeches are a Black Yawn compared to the momentum-gaining dark horse: widely admired Annette Bening may end up all right.
Should Win: Annette Bening
Will Win: Natalie Portman
PERL-RAVER: Is there any doubt at all that Natalie Portman will win for her role in "Rosemary's Ballet Baby"?
Should win: Natalie Portman
Will win: Natalie Portman
ROSS: Jeremy Renner was pretty awesome in "The Town" as a trigger happy bank robber, but Christian Bale in "The Fighter" did all the things the Academy loves: sported prosthetics, lost weight, and talked funny, and he did them all amazingly well.
Should win: Christian Bale
Will win: Christian Bale
HUVER: Man, I REALLY wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the possible tirade directed at Christian Bale's campaigners if he doesn't win.
Should Win: Christian Bale
Will Win: Christian Bale
PERL-RAVER: At the start of "The Fighter," Christian Bale's character describes himself as "squirrely." What unfolds is a master class in backing that up.
Should win: Christian Bale
Will win: Christian Bale
ROSS: Folks have been turned off by Melissa Leo's self-funded campaign for the prize, opening up an opportunity to recognize Hailee Steinfeld's star-making turn in "True Grit." Unfortunately, not enough folks appreciated Jacki Weaver's work in "Animal Kingdom," which was a clinic in the slow reveal. She was as horrible a mother as you've ever seen on film.
Should win: Jacki Weaver
Will win: Hailee Steinfeld
HUVER: Melissa Leo = Brilliance. But when has a performance made you perk up and stake notice more than Hailee Steinfeld's? Plus, Oscar loves making stars of underage ingénues (that may sound creepier than intended).
Should Win: Hailee Steinfeld
Will Win: Melissa Leo
PERL-RAVER: Melissa Leo seems the sure bet but the Academy loves bestowing promising young performers with early Oscar gold which could mean that Hailee Steinfeld is this year's Anna Paquin. Or Tatum O'Neal. Only time will tell.
Should win: Jacki Weaver
Will win: Melissa Leo
ROSS: It was the only animated film nominated for Best Picture, so it stands to reason there's only one way for this race to end, despite what Sasha thinks.
Should win: "Toy Story 3"
Will win: "Toy Story 3"
HUVER: Duh. You know where the Buzz is.
Should Win: "Toy Story 3"
Will Win: "Toy Story 3"
PERL-RAVER: "Toy Story 3" has this one in the bag, but "The Illusionist," despite Ross' vehement hatred, was a strong contender and "How to Train Your Dragon" was the most magical experience in recent cinematic memory.
Should win: "How to Train Your Dragon"
Will win: "Toy Story 3 "
ROSS: "Dogtooth" was one of the most visually arresting and thought-provoking films we saw in 2010, but "Biutiful" was a genuine triumph by a truly great director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and actor, Javier Bardem, and not nearly as weird.
Should win: "Dogtooth"
Will win: "Biutiful"
HUVER: The Bardem of it all pushes "Biutiful" to the forefront.
Should Win: Geez, I gotta see more foreign films.
Will Win: "Biutiful"
PERL-RAVER: To be totally honest, the only film in the field that I've seen is "Biutiful" so I'm not knowledgeable enough on this category to make an assessment. Whatdayawant? I'm an American; you know how we feel about reading subtitles. Kidding!
ROSS: "Exit Through the Gift Shop" was inventive and entertaining, but the Academy is no doubt terrified of Banksy, and eager to celebrate "Inside Job," a "important" film about how the global financial meltdown happened.
Should win: "Exit Through the Gift Shop"
Will win: "Inside Job"
HUVER: The Academy may fear that "Exit Through the Gift Shop's" anonymous anarchist Banksy will either send a Sacheen Littlefeather to accept in his place or sneakily graffiti up its golden icon. We'll go with the brainy money movie.
Will Win: "Inside Job"
Should Win: "Waste Land"
PERL-RAVER: Don't we all want "Exit Through the Gift Shop" to win just to see how Banksy handles making or not making an appearance?
Should win: "Waiting for Superman" or "The Tillman Story," neither of which are in contention, sadly.
Will win: "Inside Job"
ROSS: Having just listened to all four nominated songs, we feel a strong need for a drink--thank god they overlooked "Burlesque."
Should win: "I See the Light," from "Tangled"
Will win: "I See the Light," from "Tangled"
HUVER: And are ANY of these on your iPod? Let's guess that prior winner Randy Newman takes it, so he can have Oscar bookends – and further distance himself from "Short People."
Should Win: You tell me.
Will Win: "We Belong Together" from "Toy Story 3"
PERL-RAVER: Whaaa? No nomination for "Burlesque"? But the HFPA association said—oh, never mind.
Should win: "I See the Light"
Will win: "We Belong Together"
ROSS: We're a little surprised "Rabbit Hole" didn't get a nod, but it wouldn't have mattered—Trent Reznor and Attcius Ross (no relation) have this thing sewn up.
Should win: Trent Reznor and Attcius Ross, "The Social Network"
Will win: Trent Reznor and Attcius Ross, "The Social Network"
HUVER: Academy under-50s will vote for Trent Reznor for his NiN cred; over-50s will think it's hip to vote for the Facebook movie's music (just don't ask them how to download it).
Should Win: "The Social Network"
Will Win: "The Social Network"
PERL-RAVER: Joining the esteem ranks of former winners, including Hans Zimmer, Alan Menken and John Williams, is…the guy who wrote the lyrics, "I want to f--- you like an animal"? Hey, if Three 6 Mafia can win--
Should win: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Will win: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

I'm not sure the Reds' are a top 15 lineup without the Votto/Choo OBP. A bunch of .250 hitters hitting in a band box, yet are 18th in SLG.
What about that screams "crap shoot" over a 3-4 week period?
Sure it's more of a "crap shoot" now than it was prior to the wildcard/expansion/rampant free agency, but to diminish the WS titles of teams is silly, by basically calling it "luck or chance."
This Reds' team has little chance of advancing, for the 3rd time now, because they still have an incomplete lineup. They do not have the bats to overcome good/great pitching over a month's time, they simply don't, they get dominated and shut-down quite easily.
So yeah - sorry for sounding argumentative - I agree that unless they can advance this year, it's time for a change in direction and team management, to say the least.
3 runs in the last 27 innings, 6 in the last 37. (which is a repeated pattern this season and not an exception)
That isn't going to win anything, even if they get hot for a game or two (which will happen, maybe as soon as tomorrow and Sunday).

guarding an expression
Oftentimes, I want to make some computation, apply the result to a predicate, and if it passes, return that result. If the predicate does not succeed, I usually want to return some other value. I've run into this situation before, with no satisfying resolution. My code usually ends up looking like so:
(let [value (some-computation x y z)]
(if (check? value)
Which is overly verbose, even for Clojure, if you ask me. There's a
let and
value appears 3 times for a fairly straightforward idiom. I think what I'd like to write instead is:
(guard check?
(some-computation x y z)
The following macro does the trick of expanding to the verbose form I've been writing:
(defmacro guard [pred then else]
`(let [x# ~then]
(if (~pred x#)
Now, the awkward thing about the above is that unlike an if-statement, the order in which you read things is not the order in which they get executed in. Reading it, the execution happens on line 2 first, line 1 second, and then possibly on line 3. My question to the blogosphere is, does Clojure already have something like this lurking in a lib somewhere? Or is there a blindingly obvious solution to this that I'm overlooking?

|neighbor cat posted on my wall
I caught a glimpse of him moving across the yard at dusk, a black streak silent in the grass.
After the dust storm, he left a message for me written on the window of the car that I would drive if I didn't commute by bicycle every day. Snapped a picture, rushed inside to get inside and cool off. Didn't look closely or think, didn't have time.
Later popped the card into the slot and reviewed the photos. Came across this one: whoa? What the heck? I didn't recognize it at first, so abstract, some kind of Cartesian grid with...oh yeah, my car window with dust and pawprints.
He came, he saw, he scampered, leaving a few pawprints in the dust, heading off to new directions and adventures, not looking back, not giving it a second thought. It sounds like a good idea: leave a few pawprints in the dust, a message no one reads, scamper off to new adventures, don't look back, don't give it a second thought.
Pawprints in the dust once read, once remarked, then forgotten.

Photo Gallery: Dreamy White Cottages
See these modern and country spaces.
White panelling and shutters have classic appeal.
The homeowner of the weekend home in Quebec installed practical storage closets along one wall of the main entry, which feels spacious and light thanks to a coat of white paint. A weathered wood console, vintage-look mirror, and exotic Persian rug add interest in the space.

Delicate prints are pretty and charming.
This guestroom gets plenty of natural light, the young family that lives in this cottage year-round chose a variety of soft blue and white printed linens and pillows to keep things bright. A white bedside table, lamp and window seat blend in with the walls and let the gorgeous Muskoka views take centre stage.

White is the ideal backdrop for mixing styles.
Youssef Hasbani, owner of Toronto home store L'Atelier, regularly escapes to his lakeside cottage in the Kawarthas. Its crisp white interiors allow Youssef's collection of vintage and modern finds to shine, like this 18th-century bergere chair and mid-century modern Paul McCobb table.

An all-white interior makes this room feel larger.
Youssef Habani — of Toronto shop L'Atelier — had special windows installed in his cottage's guest bunkie to let in fresh air and create an indoor-outdoor feel. Guests can enjoy the view from a white bed and admire the unique trusswork overhead. An exotic end table adds a hit of visual interest in the all-white space.

An all-white palette creates an airy feel.
In Cory and Catherine DeFrancisco's Muskoka lake house, crisp white panelled walls look rustic yet fresh. In their dining room, chic slipcovered chairs set the tone, while oversized glass pendant lights make a statement over the table. During dinner parties, barn doors can be pulled across to close off the kitchen and create a more intimate environment.

Rustic accents give this kitchen a charming look.
Anne Côté, design director at House & Home's publication Maison & Demeure, had been renting cottages in Quebec's Eastern Townships for years before she purchased this 111-year-old farmhouse. To add some French country charm to her new galley-style kitchen, Anne installed a farmhouse sink and a Parisian street plate on the wall.

Bright white ceilings and built-ins look fresh.
To make the architectural features really pop in the white space, Cory and Catherine painted the back of these built-ins in a dark grey tone. A subtle striped rug and printed throw pillows add pattern to the pale space, while still keeping the overall effect airy and light.

A painted floor adds impact to a white space.
In this Laurentians, Que. cottage, a cramped mudroom feels larger thanks to white paint and a teal painted floor. Homeowner Heidi Smith installed the hooks and shelving herself for convenient storage.
Visually expand a space with white.
The narrow kitchen of the same cottage seems wider due to the white cupboards, simple backsplash and uncluttered storage. Views to the lush surroundings can be enjoyed while washing dishes.
Soft shades of white add a relaxed feel.
Heidi's seating area has a subdued palette that evokes a laid-back, beachy vibe. Leaving the ceiling beams natural draws the eye upward, making a stunning pendant light the focal point.
All-white beams make the ceiling appear high.
Heidi Smith's Laurentians, Quebec cottage is open and airy, and she made the most of the open-concept living space by assigning different corners different functions. Banquette seating in the corner allows a tighter fit for the dining table, while a separate seating area is the perfect spot to curl up with a book.

A soft, almost-white green on the walls lends a serene vibe.
Heidi chose another standout pendant light for the principal bedroom, drawing the eye upward toward the beamed ceilings. White bedding with hints of subdued pattern is in keeping with the neutral palette of the cottage.
Used rugs and tapestries add texture, pattern and warmth.
Cottage owners Juli Daoust and John Baker hired a contractor to paint the ceilings white, creating a uniform look with the walls and floor. Sliding glass doors, high ceiling and tailored furniture make the room feel light and airy. The unusual daybed sofa is a Shaker-inspired piece that's carried at their store, Mjölk — a Japanese and Scandinavian lifestyle boutique in Toronto.

This dining table, by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, offers a modern take on antique style.
The chairs, all mid-century Danish Shaker designs by Folke Palsson and Jorgen Baekmark for FDB Mobler Denmark, were bought online for about $100 each. Cottage owners Juli Daoust and John Baker found the black candelabra while rummaging through the boathouse, while the snowshoes belonged to Juli's dad.

Glossy white cabinets add a modern touch in a deconstructed space.
Cottage owners Juli Daoust and John Baker installed the kitchen cabinets themselves and kept the original stove, knowing they would be mostly barbecuing. An under-counter fridge with pullout drawers saves space. "It was a $600 floor model," says John. "We added our own plywood panelling and wood handles."

Canadiana finds add character.
Juli Daoust and John Baker, owners of Toronto's Mjölk, covered much of their Georgian Bay cottage in DIY plywood panelling, adding a raw and casual feel. Although the bedding seems to match, one is a Hudson's Bay blanket found in Sweden, the other is from a vintage shop in Toronto. Other finds, such as the bearskin rug and First Nations print complete the look.

An all-white palette envelopes a pared-back space.
Photographer Paul Massey's London home has an enviable rusticity that seems effortless and casual. A white painted floor and white industrial-style light fixtures are the perfect grounding elements for grey Gustavian chairs and colourful wildflowers.

Low windows maintain views even while seated.
This Quebec country home — designed by Scott Yetman — has expansive views to the greenery outside, and he designated this veranda for casual dining. Pairing casual folding chairs with weighty armchairs allows the space to function as both an eating and reading area.
See more white cottage photos in our gallery.
A white bench, walls and shelving keep this room simple, uncluttered and spacious in feel.
The mudroom of the same Quebec country home follows the same white theme as its veranda. Framed prints of fish add some colour.
Bleached-pine floorboards brighten up this small space.
To complement the region's northern light, owner Monique Waqué decided to decorate with pale colours evocative of Danish style. Check fabrics in a mix of colours and scales are used as the home's primary pattern. Monique furnished rooms minimally, buying many items at auctions in Denmark or Germany. Much of it is Scandinavian or French, and small in scale to suit the cosy dimensions.

Wide clapboard-style siding — usually reserved for the outdoors — is making its way inside.
When painted white, siding offers a more casual alternative to formal panel moulding. When paired with black accents and contemporary bedding, the room takes on a youthful cottage-chic look.
Old wood panelling was removed to reveal stunning fieldstone walls.
Once a room in an old schoolhouse, this dining area is now warm and inviting. The woodsy table was built by owner Carmen Dunjko with a wooden plank wrapped in artist's canvas and birch stumps, reflecting the home's Eastern Ontario pastoral setting. Sleek beech and rush dining chairs by Italian designer Vico Magistretti offer contrast and polish.

Bleached panelling imbues a classic cottage.
Large- and small-scale florals and stripes give this room a cohesive look. Decorating on a budget? A covered night table, painted bench and mismatched lamp bases demonstrate the charm of thrift store finds. A bench at the foot of the bed provides a space to store books.

Diverse pieces create a charming look.
In this dining room, mix-and-match chairs attest to the owners' sense of humour. While the corrugated metal wall is a reference to siding used liberally on agricultural buildings in the area, it takes on a distinct glamour when paired with a vibrant work by Justine Fernie, iconic Ghost chairs by Philippe Starck and an ethereal chandelier.

Painted, rough-cut pine panels offer rustic charm.
Simple window treatments and plenty of natural light give the bedroom in the same home an airy feeling. The black accents on the bed ground the space, while the twig bed frame, antlers and woolly carpet add warmth and texture.
An affordable sisal remnant is a smart choice that adds texture to this entrance.
A large black mirror, a steal at $50, visually doubles the space of this area and fits perfectly above a narrow table. The roman blinds throughout the main level are inexpensive linen attached to tension rods and held open with black ribbon.
A colourful antique rug purchased on eBay brings this space to life.
The cheery hues in the rug add drama to this black and white palette. Three contrasting dark brown velvet pillows on the sofa, and the repurposed toolbox used as a magazine holder, are simple yet elegant accessories. The rustic coffee table is actually two benches placed side by side.
See more photos in our White Cottages gallery.
Flea-market finds, vintage pieces and heirlooms mix in this cosy space.
Exposed rustic planks and beams give this cottage kitchen a dramatic sense of height. The darker wood farm table and Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs break up the monochromatic palette. The overall 'unfinished' vibe of the kitchen, complete with linen curtains covering lower shelves instead of closed cabinets, offers even more character.

Increase square footage by turning a garage into a guesthouse and studio.
In a three-week-long painting spree, the homeowner painted the entire space white (she even painted the floor) to transform this once-dingy building into a welcoming, functional space. An antique rope-bed with a tufted mattress serves as a makeshift sofa during the day. A pair of bergere-style chairs are an elegant touch.

Colourful pillows and organic textures brighten an outdoor living room.
A mid-century modern sofa and chairs by British designer T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings anchor this airy screened porch. Multiple seating areas provide places to converse or escape, all with slightly different vistas. Sophisticated lighting and side tables elevate the outdoor space.

White beadboard walls and a nautical-inspired round mirror exude country charm.
Function marries form in chunky reclaimed-wood tables that roll on casters, a side table that boasts hidden storage, and a sofa clad in a white slipcover for easy cleaning. Wood accents, sculptural shapes and a bright suzani and throw pillows add warmth and personality.

A tree trunk makes a fun side table.
A cottage bunkie is the perfect place to use a unique colour scheme, different from that of the main cottage. Here, fiery colours contrast sharply with the white painted-wood walls, adding a bohemian vibe to the room.
Try gravel as a deck alternative.
To give a bare garden a focal point, the cottage owner created an outdoor lounge area with basic gravel. A simple white sun sail overhead pulls everything together. Tree stumps painted with white lacquer create unique, textured tables. The pieces are all easily stored in the shed when not in use.

Crisp, clean white is paired with materials like raffia and bamboo for a casual take on oceanside living.
A layered tabletop vignette featuring driftwood, lanterns and pottery helps create texture in the otherwise white room, while darker wood tones help ground the space.
Create a bright, beachy feel with light walls and natural materials.
A low profile, all-white daybed (actually a boxspring and mattress) sets the pace in this living room. The white African Juju hat, vintage lamp and beige-and-white embroidered fabric from Mexico on the throw pillows infuse the room with personality. Teak folding chairs continue the organic, outdoor feel.

To create an eclectic yet cohesive dining set, Jenn paired metal bistro chairs found at a flea market with an affordable picnic bench, and then painted everything out.
Use natural elements to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
A neutral palette exudes serenity and cleanliness. Freelance stylist and creative director Jenn Cranston created a headboard out of a bamboo screen, and unique lights by rewiring two pendants and wrapping the cords in raffia. Throughout her cottage, Jenn uses branches for sculptures and displays grass and leaves from her garden.

Practical firewood adds an artistic touch when stacked to maximum capacity.
Maude Arsenault and Eric Tessier painted the exposed brick in their Montreal home the same colour as the walls to give the room a seamless look, while floating white shelves allow selected objects to stand out.
A neutral colour scheme keeps this room bright.
Painting interiors a crisp white or soft neutral enhances the amount of light coming in from large windows. Here, views of Georgian Bay can be taken in from a comfortable window seat. Pale bedding and open side tables also keep the room fresh and airy.

White walls and high beams enlarge this interior.
Rustic beams draw the eye upward, making the ceiling in this great room look even higher. A peaked roof keeps the room light and airy, and ceiling fans cool the house on hot summer days. A sisal rug and neutral furniture colours keep the space casual and cottagey.
For more inspiration, see our Traditional Cottages photo gallery, Cottages & Country Houses photo gallery, plus more Melody Duron Interiors.
Install wood shutters in a dining room instead of drapery to keep the room relaxed.
Wood shutters are a staple for casual, seaside style. When open, they invite plenty of sunshine; closed, they keep interiors cool. Shiny terracotta floor tiles add Mediterranean warmth, while a raw-wood pedestal table and X-back chairs slip-covered in linen add to the cottage theme.
For more beachy and nautical rooms, see our Seaside-Inspired Interiors photo gallery.
A bright dining area.
Work your style and floor plan around the structure of your space, not the other way around. Part of the appeal of this sunny cottage breakfast room is the uneven beadboard and knotty wood floors. Designer Anne Hepfer kept these elements intact and simply transformed the look with white paint, casual decor and a fresh blue and white palette.
How To
Study a room before you buy or move around furniture. Don't automatically arrange seating the same way you had it in your last place. Consider the light, surfaces and the room's function and let those elements direct your choices.
For more inspiration, see our Seaside-Inspired Interiors photo gallery, Traditional Cottages photo gallery, Cottages & Country Houses photo gallery, and Beautiful Sunrooms photo gallery.
Painting the walls and ceiling white brightened an old wood cottage.
This great room — designed by Anne Hepfer — has two sitting areas, an ideal setup for weekends spent entertaining. The huge mirror (custom-made in Bali with tiny seashells) balances the fireplace at the other end of the room. The ottoman is made of antique mats from Borneo. Keeping the backdrop and major pieces neutral means the owner can add bold colour and pattern in easy-to-update accessories.

Painted beams add old-world charm to this space.

The owners of this historic Muskoka cottage installed a clawfoot tub and brushed-nickel faucet in the bathroom to keep with the old-fashioned theme. Beadboard walls, sun-dappled blinds and an all-white palette create a serene atmosphere. A wall-mounted shelf and convenient side table allow for easy storage, too.

Carved lanterns, Pucci-style printed pillows and seashells add pattern and texture to an all-white space.
Because this cottage only has one bedroom, multifunctional pieces in the living room make sense. Painted bamboo daybeds can be pulled apart to create two beds, while the "coffee table" is actually a camp cot. White terrycloth upholstery is easy to clean and swimsuit-friendly.

Wicker, raffia and rattan accents offer texture and a casual, beachy note.

A sea of white creates the perfect casual retreat.
In this boathouse's narrow upper-level bedroom, designer and owner Michelle Lloyd installed floating ledges flanking the bed. "Having no tables or table lamps lends ease to a tight space," she explains. The antique French sconces, which the couple had owned for years, were painted white and capped with elongated contemporary shades.

White ceiling beams add height.
This expansive cottage play area — designed by Carol Stephenson — features a whitewashed floor and rafters that make the room seem extra-vast. Large windows open views to the tree-filled property, and make the space seem more like a patio. Furniture covered in aqua vinyl is kid-safe and low maintenance.

Country style with nautical charm.
This cosy sleeping area is nestled at the bottom of the boathouse's T-shaped layout. A vaulted 12-foot ceiling, tongue-and-groove panelling and exposed painted beams add character.
Mixing and matching styles redefines country living.
With its bare wood floors, comfy seating and a palette of white, ocean blues and sunny yellows, the screened porch off the family room has a breezy "coast of Maine" aesthetic. Ideal for dining, gathering with friends or simply curling up with a book, the homeowners of this weekend home spend every moment they can in this cosy space.
Antiques dealer Youssef Hasbani has a flair for mixing styles and cultures in his lakeside retreat.
Youssef's cottage is like a lodge, filled with the beautiful objects he loves and collects. In his rustic dining nook, he showcases four vintage hurricane lamps above a rough, nature-inspired cedar pedestal table. Making use of every square inch of the space, he built an L-shaped banquette seat, covered in white terry cloth, which he also uses for storage.

I'm glad we picked up a DE, but my hope would have been that he would have been a bit bigger (he's only 275lbs). It's interesting, the more the draft plays out and the more I think about the Pack's roster, the more I wonder if they are going to use a somewhat improvised 3-4 line-up. I am wondering if they are thinking about pairing Raji with Pickett and Jenkins on the line and going with 4 LBs. It would be a bit different from other 3-4 line-ups in that either Raji or Pickett (probably Raji), whoever plays DE, would be quite a bit bigger than most DEs in a 3-4. I also wonder if Capers' system will be much more of a hybrid 3-4/4-3 that has a bunch of sub packages – one that brings a ton of different looks.
We do have future needs at CB so I don't mind grabbing one here.

Ever since the beginning of President Trump's campaign, trade issues have been at the forefront of the public policy conversation. Much has been made about the ongoing trade relationship with China, but we can't let it overshadow some of the truly impressive wins the president has scored when it comes to trade.
For years, Middle East countries have been subsidizing their airline industries and openly attacking our domestic air carriers through their expansion into international flights. Earlier this year, Trump scored a win by getting Qatar to agree to better enforcement of the open sky agreement between their country and ours; and just a few weeks ago, scored a similar win with the United Arab Emirates.
These wins have led to greater financial transparency with these airlines that have operated for years as quasi-government owned entities. This will lead to a rollback in subsidies and a true return of fair competition with the domestic carriers.
The airline industry in our country supports thousands and thousands of jobs. President Trump has stepped up big-time and delivered on the campaign promises to protect these jobs. I, for one, am proud to have a president who stands strong for American workers.

"Schulen: Partner der Zukunft (PASCH)" initiative
The PASCH initiative ("Schools: Partners for the Future") is a global network of more than 2000 schools that maintains a close relationship to both, Germany and German language. The Goethe-Institut supports over 600 schools in the national education systems of over 100 countries.
The "Schools: Partners for the Future" (PASCH) initiative was launched in February 2008 by Germany's Federal Foreign Office. PASCH is coordinated by the Federal Foreign Office and implemented in cooperation with the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA), the Goethe-Institut, the German Academic Exchange Service and the Educational Exchange Service of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Guiding principles and goalsPASCH is organized according to four guiding principles:
- prospects through education,
- broadened horizons through multilingualism,
- access to language and education and
- joint tackling of future problems as an international community of learners
The initiative is coordinated by the Federal Foreign Office and implemented in cooperation with the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA), the Goethe-Institut, the German Academic Exchange Service and the Educational Exchange Service of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany.
The network of German schools abroad and schools offering the German Language Certificate is being strengthened. Furthermore, cooperation with schools is being stepped up with a view to anchoring German as a foreign language more firmly within national education systems. In addition, scholarships for pursuing a course of study in Germany and opportunities for school exchanges and twinning programmes are made available.
Goals of PASCH
The initiative is designed to arouse and sustain young people's interest in and enthusiasm for modern-day Germany, German society and the German language. A global network of partner schools of the Federal Republic of Germany is being created; the schools become part of an international community of learners through shared activities and exchange.
PASCH offers attractive training courses that help give pupils and teachers qualifications that will serve them well in the longer term, thereby building upon the skills that the young people will need to study in Germany and in their later professional lives. It additionally aims to establish lively and long-lasting ties to Germany and to encourage schools, teachers and pupils to share their thoughts and ideas openly with one another and to work together. Furthermore, PASCH is linked to other foreign cultural relations and educational policy initiatives such as the "Kulturweit" voluntary service.
Role and activities of the Goethe-Institut
The Goethe-Institut helps the more than 550 schools it supports to include or expand German teaching on their curricula. It offers teachers further training in pedagogical methods and language courses, and equips schools with modern multimedia-friendly teaching, learning and cultural studies materials. Within the framework of the initiative, the Goethe-Institut has additionally sent teaching experts out to assist the partner schools around the world. Youth programmes are run in Germany for pupils from participating schools, allowing them to improve their language proficiency, develop their intercultural skills and experience Germany and its culture at first hand.
- General area
- Teachers' area
- Students' area
The general area features information about the participating institutions and their activities. These include projects within the framework of the PASCH initiative, blogs from staff working in different regions of the world, PASCH youth courses in Germany and a forum where schools can find international twinning partners. An interactive world map provides an overview of the network of partner schools, and the participating schools present brief portraits of themselves.
The teachers' area
In this area, teachers can find ideas about how to use PASCH-net in their German lessons, download teaching materials and obtain information about pedagogical methods. The PASCH learning platform allows teachers to set up their own virtual classrooms or to use existing courses.
In the community, teachers can share material or find partners for their project ideas. Thanks to the community, the learning platform and blogs, teachers can realize international projects such as regional online school newspapers or podcasts.
On its PASCH learning platform, PASCH-net offers tutored online further training courses for teachers. In the PASCH-net-Führerschein online course, teachers learn about the website's advantages for German lessons, such as the communities, learning platform and PASCH-Global school newspaper. In the Moodle-Führerschein online course they learn how the PASCH learning platform, which is based on Moodle software, can be used in school lessons or during a teaching training course.
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The students' area
Pupils learning German at PASCH schools can share ideas and opinions with other pupils in the community. They can also upload texts, photos and videos there, set up groups and join forum discussions.
Competitions and projects encourage pupils to get involved. Texts with different levels of difficulty provide information about Germany, including options for studying there.
Regelmäßige Diskussionsangebote, Mitmachaktivitäten und Lernspiele laden zum Deutsch üben ein.
Anyone who wants to play an active role in the communities or the learning platform on PASCH-net has to register and then log in using their e-mail address and password.
The PASCH network includes 140 German overseas schools maintained by the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA), 27 Deutsch Profil schools, as well as 1,100 national schools that offer the German Language Certificate, accredited by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany.

[UPDATED} Geographies of Desire: A Medieval and Early Modern Interdisciplinary Conference April 27-28, 2012
The University of Maryland, College Park -- April 27-28, 2012
Keynote Speaker: Valerie Traub, Frederick G.L. Huetwell Professor of English and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan
Where do we go to get what we want? Mandeville to the kingdom of Prester John, the Littlewits to Bartholomew Fair, Antony to Alexandria, Henry VIII to the Field of the Cloth of Gold: the fulfillment of desire, or the negation of an interior lack, is frequently a plotted movement from here to there. "Geographies of Desire" seeks papers that explore how desires are mapped across spatial planes; how do spaces such as markets, shrines, bedrooms, and courts produce material, spiritual, erotic, and political desires?
Geography is produced by an invested interest in the world, such that the mapping out of one's desires is a precondition for mapping out the world. The desire for geographies both literal and figurative results from having outgrown local, national, imperial, and earthbound spaces. And yet, satisfaction often eludes us: the geography of desire pursues a sense of completion but risks corruption in the process.
Geography assimilates space and erases conceptual difference between separate worlds within the confines of a controllable physical representation. But even as the fog lifts from the exterior world, a strange desire keeps pulling us toward things monstrous and divine. How, then, does the geography of desire upset or reinforce the economic, political, erotic, and cosmological centers of our universes? How do literature, the visual arts, travel narratives, histories, religious writings, natural philosophy, and theater imagine these geographies? How and why do we imagine ourselves into the personal, cultural, ecological, and political spaces of others?
The Graduate Field Committee of Medieval and Early Modern Studies and the Department of English at the University of Maryland invite papers that explore these issues for "Geographies of Desire," a graduate-faculty conference to be held April 27 and April 28, 2012 at the University of Maryland, College Park. This two-day interdisciplinary conference aims to foster insightful and vigorous conversation on this topic through an innovative format that includes graduate paper panels, roundtables, and plenary sessions with local scholars (TBA).
In addition to traditional papers, we are soliciting proposals for workshops related to the conference theme. Digital Humanities workshops centered on new research tools, pedagogy tools, or digital archives are especially welcome.
We expect this theme to be interpreted broadly, but invite participants to consider some of the following approaches:
-Exclusionary geography: Anchorites, xenophobes, isolationists, land enclosure
-Desire in Transit: pilgrimages, war and territorial expansion, diplomacy, colonization, tourism, travel literature, captivity narratives, slave narratives
-Shipwrecked Desires: lost coasts, desert islands, Hellesponts and Maelstroms, Mermaids and Sirens
-Are You Going to Scarborough Fair?: local economies, fair circuits, foodsheds and market villages, new views on Von Thünen
-Scientific Desire for Geography: telescopes, cartography, geohumoralism, new technologies, cosmography, describing nature—natural philosophy v. poetry, properties
-Great Reckonings in Little Rooms: domestic economies, decoration of interior spaces, mapping the home
-Long is the way / And hard, that out of hell: religious desires, missions, conversion, priest holes and monuments, spreading reform, spreading heresy, redemption
-Art and design: cartography (veracity v. subjectivity), mapping the canvas, perspective, architecture, urban planning
-Romantic and Erotic desires: exogamy, queer spaces, gendered spaces, courtly love, private / public, forests and cityscapes: green worlds and grey worlds
Abstracts of 400-500 words for workshops or 20-minute papers related to the conference theme should be emailed to (email@example.com) no later than Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Benitez happy with focused Lampard
Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has praised Frank Lampard for his attitude during the final year of his contract, but would not say whether or not the midfielder warranted a new deal to keep him at the club beyond the summer.
Lampard's Chelsea future remains uncertain with his agent insisting that the club have not opened talks about a contract extension.
The 34-year-old has responded by hitting a rich vein of form, moving alongside Kerry Dixon as Chelsea's second all-time leading scorer on 193 goals - nine behind club top scorer Bobby Tambling - when he scored from the spot against Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Fans have started chanting 'sign him up' in an effort to convince the decision-makers to hang onto the midfielder, who joined the club in 2001, but Benitez refused to be drawn as to whether he has urged Roman Abramovich to keep him at the club.
"He's playing well, working very hard and we're trying to bring the best from him - my position is exactly the same," Benitez said. "If he can carry on scoring goals I will be really pleased, and if he can carry on scoring goals and winning games I will be even happier.
"As professionals we know that we have to focus on our job. I will support Frank, and then he's really focused and we try to carry on performing on the pitch. That is the only way for us."
Benitez was similarly tight-lipped on the rumours suggesting that Manchester United may move to pick up Lampard on a free transfer in the summer, and would not discuss the club's plans for the January transfer window.
"It's too early to talk about teams and the future. Frank is under contract, he is a player for us," Benitez added. "I am really pleased with my squad, with my players, they are doing well and hopefully we can improve them."
Chelsea are expected to complete the signing of midfielder Taison from Metalist Kharkiv in the coming weeks, but the Spaniard was determined to give nothing away.
"I will not talk about the market. I know that it's normal, a lot of names in the press, but we do our business between us and if we have to do something we will do it.
"At the moment I have to respect my players, I trust them, they are doing well, and we'll carry on with our players."

The Central Connecticut men's golf team won the St. Peter's Peacock Metro Honda Invitational on Tuesday. The Blue Devils shot a 293 to earn a one-stroke victory over Northeast Conference rival Fairleigh Dickinson. Freshman Matt Hills claimed the individual honors by shooting a 70 on the 7,069-yard, par -72, Neshanic Valley Golf Course in Neshanic Station, N.J.
Hills posted a 35 on the front nine and then a matching 35 on the back nine to finish the day with the two-under 70. He was joined under par by classmate Nick Direda who shot 36-35 to finish with a 71.
Hills and Direda were the only players to shoot under pair in the single-round event.
"I am really excited about our performance this year with two wins," head coach Kevin Giancola said after the event. "With four top-five finishes this spring, I feel like we are peaking at the right time heading into the NEC Championship."
Junior Monte Mullen shot a 37-39 to finish with a 76. Freshman Bryant Bolden also posted a 76 with a 39-37 split. Both players were part of a six-way tie for 19th overall.
Senior Matthew DeJohn rounded out the Blue Devils squad. He posted a 79 on the day with a 41-38 split. DeJohn finished tied for 29th.
The victory is the second of the season for the Blue Devils and Hills. CCSU also won the New England Championship in the fall. Hills other win came in the shootout at River Landing last month.
Behind the Blue Devils at 293 strokes were Fairleigh Dickinson 294, Rider University 297, Monmouth University 305, Fairfield University 309, Saint Peter's 310 and St. Francis Brooklyn 326.

Arguably the oldest black neighborhood in America and the birthplace of jazz, Faubourg Treme was home to the largest community of free black people in the Deep South during slavery and a hotbed of political ferment. Here, black and white, free and enslaved, rich and poor cohabitated, collaborated and clashed to create America's first civil rights movement and a unique American culture. This program is a tale of heartbreak, hope and resiliency -- all set to a soundtrack of New Orleans famous music.

It really is quite the outstanding edition and quite the nice gift! I dig the art quite a bit. The Martian Chronicles was the first Bradbury I read many moons ago when I was in high school.

Very nice!
Some pics from Centipede Press' Edgar Allan Poe The Man That Was Used Up.
Front cover, spine, and back cover
...and a few more pics:
This pic has a pinkish tint to it. The fault is mine. It's not the book...
Another fantastic edition from Centipede Press.
Oh man, that's one I've been after for a long while. A big congrats (even as I seethe with jealousy ;-)). Those pics make it looks as good as I'd always imagined.
Looks like an amazing book. Even better than the usual from CP. Great pics too!
I like to compare how different designers/publishers approach the same work. Here's a look at two different editions of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide. The edition on the left is from Hand & Eye Letterpress (who went small for their edition) and on the right is the Centipede Press edition (who went big). I admire them both for different reasons. The Hand & Eye has been on my list for quite, so I was quite happy to finally track one down.
Hand & & Eye does not have a slipcase, while Centipede does:

and some from the Centipede edition:
Very nice!
That comparative visual analysis was great, really enjoyed it -- thanks for posting it! I definitely prefer the Centipede edition but do see the appeal of the other.
Thanks for the comparative pictures. It's hard to pick a prefered edition. Both look fantastic. I love the paper and font in the Hand and Eye edition, the limitation sheet is very sharp and clean too. The CP edition is really grandiose though, much nicer endpapers too. Both have stunning art.
Thank you Brian, Ron, and Theli for the kind words. The Centipede edition wins hands down in terms of content and completeness, but I really do love the Hand & Eye. The choice of paper in the Hand & Eye is exquisite and the artwork is lovely. I wish I had a better way of conveying more about the paper in photos.
Dave, any idea who that third signature is from on the CP limitation page? My Limited has it, as well, but according to the page it's only supposed to have two, Moser and McGrath. Gogos only signed the deluxe, not the Limited. And that third sig (at the bottom) doesn't look like any of the above three anyhow. Any idea or is it another Centipede Mystery Special?
In response to the "Your Holy Grail" thread, I am posting a lot of pics of one of mine. This is the ICHTHYIC edition of Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth from Heavenly Monkey (number X of XXV). As one person on this forum can probably attest, my initial reaction to this book was a bit hesitant. But I have grown to appreciate its many charms and its one of my favorites in my collection.
Its structure and casing are different from any book I have owned before or since. The casing is made of of a parchment paper. The printing on the cover and spine are underneath the outer layers of the casing, but somehow a part of it all. The quality of paper and printing on the inside are exquisite.
The book is slipcased in two paper cases, the outermost being purple with no printing on it, leaving the spine and fore-edge of the black inner case exposed. The black inner case has printing on the spine and the cover image of the book on the front.
I finally have a camera that can reasonably capture some of the details of this book. It's not an easy book to photograph. Hope you find this interesting:
In the slipcases:
Outer case removed, inner case still on:
Spine and front of the actual book, after the cases have been removed:
Some shots of the paper. I'm a sucker for interesting paper choices:
Finally, some interior shots:
Close up of the colophon:
What an interesting edition! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

A woman who says she was raped by college football players nearly 20 years ago is asking the NCAA to ban sexually violent athletes.
Brenda Tracy and her son will present a petition to the NCAA's Board of Governors at its meeting Wednesday in Indianapolis. Current guidelines generally allow schools or conferences to hand down such punishments.
Tracy's son Darius says he started the petition after hearing about multiple allegations involving Baylor football players. The petition contains more than 157,000 signatures.
U.S. & World
The NCAA's top committee has already met once with the family as it debates how to address sexual violence on campus.
Brenda Tracy says she was raped by four men, including Oregon State football players, in 1998. The Associated Press generally doesn't identify people who say they were sexually assaulted, but Tracy has spoken publicly to draw attention to her situation.

I thought I'd post on a couple of cases I saw today that had to do with non-Chinese Asian people.
The first was one that I'd thought settled, that of Tuan Anh Nguyen's petition not to be deported from the U.S. "as an alien convicted of two crimes involving moral turpitude and an aggravated felony." Nguyen, the son of American citizen Joseph Alfred Boulais and a Vietnamese woman, came to the U.S. with his father when he was six, but because his parents were unmarried and the citizenship was his father's instead of his mother's, the Supreme Court held that he was not a citizen.
But nope, Nyuyen's back, this time at the Fifth Circuit (as he committed the crimes in Texas). This case is much more civil procedure than constitutional law, so I'm going to cheat and just copy what the court said:
We review de novo a dismissal of a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The question we are called to answer is whether an alien, subject to a removal order, holds a due process interest in discretionary relief under § 212(c) when his pre-AEDPA five-year eligibility bar was activated during the pendency of the removal proceeding before the BIA. We determine that he does not.
The second case is an old one, but one of more peculiar interest to me. In it, the Supreme Court conceded that Indians -- Gandhi, not Sitting Bull -- are Caucasians genetically, but the Naturalization Act, which applied "to aliens, being free white persons, and to aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent," did not apply to Indians, even high caste Punjabis like Bhagat Singh Thind.
What we now hold is that the words "free white persons" are words of common speech, to be interpreted in accordance with the understanding of the common man, synonymous with the word "Caucasian" only as that word is popularly understood. As so understood and used, whatever may be the speculations of the ethnologist, it does not include the body of people to whom the appellee belongs. It is a matter of familiar observation and knowledge that the physical group characteristics of the Hindus render them readily distinguishable from the various groups of persons in this country commonly recognized as white. The children of English, French, German, Italian, Scandinavian, and other European parentage, quickly merge into the mass of our population and lose the distinctive hallmarks of their European origin. On the other hand, it cannot be doubted that the children born in this country of Hindu parents would retain indefinitely the clear evidence of their ancestry. It is very far from our thought to suggest the slightest question of racial superiority or inferiority. What we suggest is merely racial difference, and it is of such character and extent that the great body of our people instinctively recognize it and reject the thought of assimilation.I'm also doubtful as to whether the aspiring citizen was really a Hindu; his middle name and Punjab origin make it more likely that he was Sikh (and thus technically not a "high" caste person, as Sikhs claim not to believe in such hierarchies), and other sites identify him as such. But I wouldn't expect a 1923 American judge to be able to tell a Sikh from a Jain from a hole in the ground. February 9, 2005 11:55 PM | TrackBack

Yup. But at the same time, I would like to point out there are no rules in the challenges. If Remyth says it is "Trade and Commerce" then it is.

The National Treasury Secretariat consolidates the information by comparing the flow of revenues against expenditures, in a methodology known as "above the line". Above the line statistics allow the public manager to evaluate the results of the current fiscal policy by means of a detailed and ample Picture of the country's fiscal situation. This set of information constitutes an essential toolkit for public policy decision making.
This evaluation also enables the construction of different scenarios for the public accounts based on previsions of revenues and expenditures estimated using macroeconomic parameters. It also becomes an important tool during public budgeting or during its execution.
In Brazil, the primary balance used to verify the fiscal targets established by the Annual Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) derives from the methodology known as "below the line", consolidated and released by the Central Bank of Brazil although the analysis of the origins of any discrepancy is made by evaluating the revenues and expenditures, which are compiled using the "above the line" methodology.
The "below the line" statistics considers changes in public debt stock, including sources of foreign and domestic financing and are published, monthly, by the Central Bank in a specific report whithin its webpage.
While "below the line" statistics allows one to analyse how the government has financed its debt, the "above the line" analysis allows one to evaluate the causes of unbalances and other qualitative information pertaining to the fiscal policy. The result obtained by both methodologies is comparable, which make them both important and complementary methodologies for the good management of the fiscal policy.

Meyer, Klaus E.; Jensen, Camilla (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The 1990s have been a period of extraordinary politics in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This chapter discusses how the transition from state to market has created bureaucratic barriers to entry, but also windows of opportunity for foreign direct investment (FDI). The high costs and high investment risks associated with FDI in CEE are a reflection the institutional development. Thus, inflows of FDI have been largest in those countries that made most progress in establishing a market-oriented institutional framework. After outlining trends of institutional change and their impact on FDI, this chapter discusses how aspects of the institutional framework and FDI policy affect diverse types of investment projects. Acquisition and Greenfield investors are concerned with different aspects of government policy: privatization and regulatory policies for acquirers and investment incentives, regional policy and special economic zones for Greenfield investors. The shifting policy priorities have thus changed the types of projects undertaken by foreign investors in the region. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7106
