All the geographical collections at the Royal Geographical Society are Designated Collections of national importance.
The collection includes cartographic material, the picture library, the library material, the archives and artefacts. These collections are essential for the study of the history of exploration, discovery, mountaineering and modern geography. They also offer a unique access point to the understanding of cultural exchange and encounter around the world.
In June 2004 the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) opened its new facilities to the public, which provide access to one of the world's largest geographical collections containing over two million maps, photographs, books, artwork, artefacts and documents. The collection tells the story of 500 years of geographical discovery and research.
The collections include many important records from exploration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from Scott's expeditions to Antarctica, to David Livingstone's in Africa. Other treasures in the collections include some of the earliest photographs of Africa, Asian and the Caribbean, and the first Arabian photographs of Mecca and Medina.

Since the announcement of the ParkZone Extra 300 there has been a lot of interest in this "hot rod" airplane. The Extra 300 is based on a general aviation airplane having extreme aerobatic capability. It introduces park flyers to a truly aerobatic airplane with the capability to perform all the maneuvers commonly associated with larger-sized RC airplanes. Our review takes a closer look at just what Mike McConville and the ParkZone team have designed into this high-performance model. It has lots of power for almost unlimited vertical climbs, larger control surfaces for wild aerobatics and a brilliant color scheme that makes it very easy to see in the sky. It is also extremely easy to assemble, as we will show you in this video. Overall, I am confident you are going to want to put an Extra in your hangar and be ready to fly whenever you have the opportunity.
Take a look at our video review of the Extra 300. This is a new direction for park flyers.

NEA executive director calls members 'social justice patriots'
Stocks tells educators that organized labor is 'only effective answer' to corporate greed
WASHINGTON - July 04, 2012 -
National Education Association Executive Director John Stocks delivered his first address as executive director of the nation's largest professional organization. Speaking to the nearly 9,000 delegates at NEA's annual Representative Assembly, Stocks challenged the educators to become "social justice patriots."
Following are Stocks' remarks as prepared for delivery.
Thank you so much Rita. Thank you Dennis, Lily, Becky, members of the Executive Committee, the NEA Board of Directors, and thank you delegates!
And thank you to the amazing NEA staff!
You know, each year July 4th is the day when we honor our country's birth.
It's a day that summons in each of us our own sense of pride about being Americans.
It's a day in which we celebrate the patriots whose intellectual and physical bravery over 200 years ago created this grand and audacious experiment that we know as the American democracy—an experiment built upon freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
We celebrate July 4th by honoring those who thought and fought to establish this country and those who fought wars to keep our democracy intact…patriots who paid the ultimate price so that we can continue to enjoy freedom as individuals and live peacefully together in a democracy.
And we still have patriots—our sons and daughters in uniform—who risk their lives day in and day out. And we pray they return home safely to their families.
Today, we honor those contributions and their sacrifices.
But for me, that's only part of the celebration of our nation's independence.
I actually view patriotism through a broader lens.
Our American DNA is embedded with a profound sense of possibility, an unshakable belief in a better tomorrow, an abiding faith that the American Dream is not only real, but a belief that there are many Americans who are willing to ensure that it's truly accessible for everyone.
Too often we overlook the part of our national portrait that celebrates those Americans who are driven by their conscience to make America a more perfect union….those who are constantly urging America to live up to its promise of equal opportunity and justice for all.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said that to be "divinely dissatisfied" with America is to love America. I agree with him.
I have a name for people who are divinely dissatisfied with America, yet love America's promise.
I call them social justice patriots.
I have tremendous faith that we, as a nation, will continue to progress because of the social justice patriots who valiantly fight every day to make America live up to its promise.
Social justice patriots challenge our present in order to forge a better future for all of us.
Let me give you an example:
The Declaration of Independence contains the aspirational phrase that we are "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
But we know that phrase is woefully inadequate to capture our glorious diversity and our society doesn't always guarantee equality.
Every time we challenge ourselves to broaden the inclusiveness of that phrase, we are actually engaging in the patriotic act of making America a more perfect union.
And for me, a "more perfect union" means making America a more just society.
I have a deep reverence for NEA members.
You've played a huge role in fostering social justice patriotism throughout American history.
Not only have educators instructed each generation about the core principles upon which America was founded, but you have, in many instances, acted as the conscience of the nation we love.
It was educators, through this Association, who sought funds for the education of freed slaves and their children after the Civil War…
Who spoke out against the treatment of Native American children in government schools…
Who supported a woman's right to vote.
It was educators, through this Association, who spoke out against the internment of Japanese-American children and their families.
It was educators, through this Association, who demanded equal educational opportunity for children with disabilities.
It was educators, through this Association, who challenged the absurdity that Spanish-speaking children were incapable of learning like other children.
It was educators, through the American Teachers Association, and then the National Education Association, who opposed the segregation of Black children in schools that were inherently unequal.
It was educators, through this Association, who took a stand to support equal treatment for same-sex couples.
We have every right to be proud, both of our Association and of our country.
That doesn't mean that we've always arrived at these proud moments easily as an association.
We wrestled with these issues as an Association, and we came down on the right side of history.
Adrienne Rich, an American poet, said:
"A patriot is one who wrestles for the soul of her country as she wrestles for her own being."
So in thinking about being a social justice patriot, we must not only think about challenging our country to be better, but we must also challenge ourselves as individuals to do better.
Are we fulfilling our American calling to stand up for the rights of others?
Are we doing enough to honor our core values of democracy, equal opportunity, and a just society?
I see breathtaking examples of NEA members educating America in order to make a more perfect union.
And we should celebrate them….but we have more to do.
Let's start with democracy.
Since the 2010 elections, 30 states have passed laws designed to suppress the voting rights of millions of Americans.
They're designed to make it more difficult for people of color to vote.
It is estimated that these insidious laws could prevent 3.2 million voters from taking part in the 2012 elections
But friends, there are social justice patriots in our midst.
Jill Cissarelli, a government teacher at New Smyrna Beach High School in Florida, conducts a voter registration project every year as part of teaching her students about the importance of their civic responsibility.
But what Jill didn't know was that Florida's new law makes it more difficult to register people to vote.
As a result, Jill faced thousands of dollars in fines just for trying to help her students register….
But Jill persevered to protect her project….and she is a shining example of a social justice patriot.
I am extraordinarily proud that part of our election efforts this year will be to enlist NEA members in the fight against voter suppression….to help educate Americans about where to vote, the requirements about voting, and the importance of voting.
But we have more to do.
Let's talk for a moment about equal opportunity.
What we are experiencing now is the serious erosion of the middle class
And worse yet, the war on poverty has turned into a war on poor people!
Today, the average CEO of a Fortune 500 company makes about 600 times more than the average education support professional; back in the mid-1950s it was only about 20 times more.
And in our post-Citizens United world, corporations and the people who run them can afford to buy the politicians they want….
The politicians like Scott Walker and John Kasich and Rick Snyder who will make it easier for their corporate friends to make more money and avoid paying their fair share.
Friends, time and time again I have seen that the only effective answer to organized corporate greed in America is organized labor!
And the "one-percenters" in this country know that—it's no secret why they're trying to destroy the labor movement.
To the one percent, organized labor stands between them and their ability to have complete control of our political economy.
But I say we are social justice warriors… fighting to preserve the dignity of all those who work hard, pay their taxes, and simply want to send their kids to college and have a decent retirement.
But, we know that the growing economic inequality in America has touched more than just our own lives.
It is touching our students and their families.
In America today, while the rich grow richer, the number of children living in poverty continues to grow.
Today in America, almost 16 and a half million children now live in poverty.
One of every five children in our classrooms lives in poverty.
What's even more devastating to hear is that one in 45 children in America experiences homelessness each year.
That's 1.6 million children who are sleeping in cars…under freeway overpasses…living in tents and abandoned buildings….and getting ready for school in public restrooms.
The one percent doesn't see these children every day.
They don't even know their names. But we do.
We know them, we feed them, we teach them, we comfort them.
They're on our school buses, in our cafeterias, in our classrooms.
They come to school hungry.
They start first grade a year or two behind their middle-class peers.
As educators, you know better than anyone what a toll this takes on children.
You know better than anyone they need individual attention, high expectations, and a ready reserve of emotional support.
They need teachers and education support professionals who will lift them up and be the wind at their backs.
But just last week, Mitt Romney said he wants Americans to "get as much education as they can afford."
Well sisters and brothers—
If we can afford wars that never end in faraway places,
if we can afford enormous tax breaks for some of our richest corporations,
if we can afford to finance the export of American jobs overseas,
then we can afford to do whatever it takes and spend whatever it costs to ensure every single one of our students receives a quality education!
But there's another issue related to equality of opportunity that has evoked some very ugly rhetoric – and that's the issue of immigration.
There are 2.1 million young people now in the United States who came to live here as children with their parents. These young people are prevented from going to college or applying for jobs because of their legal status.
The Dream Act would provide these young people with the opportunity to contribute to the only country they call home.
And yet, the opposition to the Dream Act in Congress is fierce.
But there's hope, sisters and brothers.
Our courageous President, Barack Obama, recently signed an Executive Order halting the deportation of hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers."
Now we all know he's been vilified for doing so. But it was the right thing to do!
Here again, we have examples within the NEA family of social justice patriotism in the struggle for immigrant rights.
Our members in Arizona and Alabama have fought against discriminatory immigration laws.
NEA members in Tucson have fought against a ban on ethnic studies, so that students have access to a rich curriculum that honors their diverse heritage.
Our members across the country have cared for children who have been separated from their parents due to immigration raids in workplaces.
I am so proud that we support the Dreamers and the DREAM Act.
I am so proud that NEA fights for an immigration policy that doesn't split up families and doesn't harm children.
And I'm even prouder of NEA members who will raise their voices, open their homes, become the equivalent of foster parents to children who have done nothing wrong, but simply attend school here in the United States.
That's social justice patriotism!
I remember fighting the white supremacist skinheads in Idaho. They had moved into the Aryan Nation's compound in Kootenai County.
They bombed my priest's home.
They attacked my friend, Vicky Keenan—a Native American woman—and her son, Jason.
They bombed our post office and the federal building.
We were all scared to death. But we were also outraged. So we fought back. We organized.
I saw people like NEA delegate JoAnn Harvey and Professor Tony Stewart stand up against this evil, despite all of the threats against them.
I saw other people who had been cowed into silence find their courage and learn to speak out.
Eventually, with the legal help of Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Aryan Nations' compound was demolished!
Collective action for social justice can bring about incredible change!
But we also have an individual responsibility to wake up every day and question ourselves, our beliefs, our behavior.
After all, a more perfect union also requires each of us to be better human beings.
When we see injustice or discrimination, we need to confront it and speak out.
But discrimination isn't just perpetrated by individuals; it's also systemic.
In New York, for example, between 2006 and 2009, the police stopped and frisked an astounding three million people,
And you guessed it, 90 percent of them were Black or Latino youth.
That's why I'm proud that NEA is a partner in the NAACP's new Campaign to End Racial Profiling.
Last month, my daughter Emily and I had the privilege of joining their first demonstration—a silent march down 5th Avenue to protest the New York Police Department's stop and frisk policy.
We walked with Marian Wright Edelman, longtime leader of the Children's Defense Fund.
We walked with Ben Jealous, courageous President of the NAACP.
We walked with tens of thousands of others who believe the stop and frisk policy is DANGEROUS to our democracy!
Black, Latino, and Muslim men and boys between the ages of 14 and 26 are being stopped on the streets, thrown up against the wall and frisked, without cause, and some of them were simply trying to go to school.
It's wrong. It's unjust. And it's not just happening in New York City.
When any law-abiding American cannot walk freely on any street or in any community in this country without looking over his shoulder, it means he is not truly free.
Imagine being tormented by the knowledge that his own community views him first as a suspect and not as a neighbor.
It doesn't matter that he might be a straight A student.
It doesn't matter that he might volunteer in his community.
To that young man and so many other Americans, we are robbing them of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And we as a progressive labor union and a social justice organization have a responsibility to take a stand and say "No More!"
You see, we cannot have a truly free America without being a truly just America!
But for us, there are three disturbing questions we need to confront:
Does racial profiling start in our schools?
Does the pipeline to prison for minority youth begin in school?
And if it does, what are we going to do to stop it?
Every year, 3.3 million K-12 students are suspended from school and African- American and Latino students represent a disproportionate number of those suspended.
I am incredibly proud to share that as part of our partnership with NAACP, NEA is helping to develop a racial profiling curriculum for educators, students and community leaders.
We must ensure that this topic can be discussed responsibly and constructively in America's schools, so that we can begin to end this behavior.
We will partner with other organizations to challenge and change zero-tolerance school discipline policies and replace them with what we know works for students and for schools.
Shoving our kids out of schools, shoving them away from the support they need, denying them access to the tools that will equip them for life is the ultimate act of intolerance and condemnation.
And if we don't do something, we will perpetuate the school to prison pipeline.
Again, I agree with Dr. King. To challenge what we see, to truly wrestle with the difficult and painful, is to demonstrate the ultimate devotion to righting what is wrong.
As a country and as an organization we have always done this.
It was former NEA President Mary Hatwood Futrell who once declared that "NEA is an organization with a soul."
Well, it's time now for another generation of NEA leaders and activists to put the power of our soul to work to defend democracy, to fight for equal opportunity, and to create a more just society!
Be the activists for social justice and equal opportunity in America!
NEA, on this 4th of July, we have so much to celebrate!
We are bonded together with a glorious commitment to fight injustice.
We have an unbelievable legacy of contribution to this country.
And I know that every single one of you is as proud as I am to be a part of an organization that strives to make America a more perfect union for every single man, woman, and child.
NEA members,
Keep standing strong!
Keep fighting for justice!
Keep fighting for our students!
We are ALL social justice patriots and We ARE the NEA!
Thank you so much!

We saw an ultra-dark teaser of the Volt-based Opel Ampera and now, thanks to the leaky European Union Patent Office, we get the full picture of this very Voltastic electric Opel.
GM had hoped to keep the little plug-in electric under wraps until its official debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show, but thanks to these European patent images we can show you that the Opel Ampera is nothing more than a rebadged Chevy Volt. The Ampera does receive new front and rear fascias and a new set of alloys all inspired by the 2007 Opel Flextreme Concept, but that's about it as far as differentiation.
The Opel Ampera is on track to launch in Europe roughly one year after the Volt goes on sale in the U.S. in late 2010. There will likely be a Vauxhall variant as well, but changes for that model will only include a badge swap and nothing more. The European Opel Ampera will carry the same Voltec Electric Propulsion System as the Chevy Volt and will provide 40 miles of driving when powered by its 230v charged lithium-ion batteries or, for longer drives, it will continue use juice generated by the small internal combustion engine.

Bob Flor Plans Readings
Robert Francis Flor, co-founder and director of the P&W–supported Pinoy Words Expressed Kultura Arts, blogs about planning readings.
Pinoy Words Expressed Kultura Arts (PWEKA) is in the process of planning readings for the rest of year. Curating a reading requires a lot. First, we identify writers—checking their availability and contract requirements. Then we coordinate with co-sponsors, like P&W, for support— obtaining funds, securing volunteers, producing promotional materials, confirming the location, etc. Finally, we create and implement an administration and evaluation strategy.
So far, we've come up with three events we'd like to host in the late summer or early fall. The first would be a Filipino/Latino young adult reading and workshop. We have approached Los Nortenos, a Latino literary organization based in Seattle, about the idea, and ideally we would work with both public and private school educators and community groups to provide comparisons of cultures that were influenced by the Spanish. Los Nortenos has been very receptive, and we are currently in the process of finalizing the details.
PWEKA has recently became aware of Hedgebrook, a writers retreat for women on Whidbey Island. We would love to co-host a reading with them highlighting local Filipina writers. Both Marivi Soliven Blanco, author of The Hunt for the Hippocampus and Philippine Fright: 13 Scary Stories, and Lolan Buhain Sevilla, author of Walang Hiya, will be attending Hedgebrook this summer. Both expressed an interest in giving a reading! PWEKA is considering featuring Marivi and Lolan with Maritess Zurbano, author of the memoir Rites of Enchantment, and young adult novelist Lisa Castillano, author of Balancing Light and Tilted.
Finally, I would love to have a stage reading with the Filipino American Young Turks of a play I completed at ACT Theatre last November. This might be the most cumbersome as PWEKA will have to identify locations, cast actors, and produce publicity materials, etc. Such is the work of planning readings.

Support for Readings/Workshops events in Seattle is provided by an endowment established with generous contributions from the Poets & Writers Board of Directors and others. Additional support comes from the Friends of Poets & Writers.

When you think "business mentor," you don't usually think of South African archbishop (and human rights activist) Desmond Tutu—and yet, he's one of 17 people who have agreed to spend some unpaid time aboard a ship with a team of 11 startups as they circumnavigate the globe.
"I really did have scrambled eggs with him yesterday," Catlin Powers, of One Earth Designs, told Ars. She's the chief operating officer and co-founder of a company that makes products to be used in rural and rugged environments, including a solar cooker.
On Tuesday, the group that calls itself Unreasonable at Sea (UAS) made its first landfall in Hawaii aboard the MV Explorer after its first week's journey. UAS is hosting entrepreneurs (including Powers) and mentors (including Tutu) as part of a larger Semester at Sea voyage, which consists of 160 undergraduate American students on a three-month journey around the globe. Other companies on the UAS roster are working on things like "open source sailing drones," and "digitally programmable and rechargeable hearing aids."
"We want to help entrepreneurs scale into new international markets," Daniel Epstein, Unreasonable Institute's founder, said to Ars by phone in San Diego before hitting the open seas. He added that unstructured time would help these startups to grow.
Powers told Ars that earlier this week she found herself standing next to Tutu in the breakfast line and they sat together over the meal. "He asked what motivates us as people?" she said, surprised at this moment herself. "That kind of interaction is happening every moment."
Desmond Tutu is one of the headline mentors for the voyage, which also includes top officials from Google, WordPress, Mozilla, and Priceline. Prince Fahad Al Saud of Saudi Arabia and head of User Operations Arabic at Facebook is scheduled to make an appearance as well, although he is apparently not yet aboard the ship based on his Twitter feed, which indicates that he's lounging around South Africa.
"The mentors are on board in rotation rather than all at once," Sarah Moran, an Unreasonable Institute spokesperson, explained by e-mail.
"Black swans" on the water
One Earth Designs is one of 11 startups from around the globe that was selected for the UAS program, the maritime version of what's normally done in landlocked Colorado at the Unreasonable Institute: a "mentorship-driven acceleration program for entrepreneurs tackling social and environmental problems." Unreasonable is also partnering with the Institute of Design at Stanford University.
Last year, Epstein told an Indian newspaper that he was "not looking for typical Silicon Valley startups, but companies leveraging technologies to address massive social and environmental challenges," dubbing the chosen teams "black swans." The Unreasonable Institute is spending around $100,000 on each startup, which will be paid back via an equity stake depending on the firm's valuation.
"Other than the investment we are placing in your company once accepted into the program, we cannot and do not guarantee that our participants will receive funding from outside venture funds or foundations," the Institute warns. "However, we do guarantee unprecedented exposure to funders and world-class relationships with dozens of capital sources. Fundamentally, our goal is to go to bat for you, to do everything we can to get you the resources you need to rocket ahead, and like you, we are acutely aware of how important financing is to scaling your business."
Despite those cautions, Epstein has high hopes for the group.
"For every company it varies. Our goal is to help companies hit 10x growth and to do that within 36 months," he told Ars. "That's a solid stated metric. But the other side to it is we think this is a radical experiment in international entrepreneurship and in any good experiment, we don't want to predict the outcome."
"We didn't expect to get seasick"
The MV Explorer plans to take the 11 teams across the Pacific via Hawaii to Japan followed by stops in China, Vietnam, Singapore, Burma and India—then the ship will swing across the Indian Ocean to Mauritius, South Africa, Ghana, and finally Spain. Some of the landfalls will only be several hours (Mauritius), while others (India) will be closer to five days.
While the sea voyage for startups does seem to be a bit gimmicky, attendees say that being forced out of their normal work environment seems to help with having near-constant access to mentors like Tutu. While there are classes, lectures, and more structured time, a lot of the time is given to the teams to independently work on their companies.
"Being away from land keeps us away from the other distractions," Anand Joshi, of Vita Beans, told Ars.
His "learning and assessment solutions" company modestly proclaims itself, based on its participation in Unreasonable at Sea, "one of the Top 11 tech companies changing the world." Vita Beans—one of four Indian companies selected for the trip—wants to help online education for teachers.
All 11 teams have access to the ship's facilities, including a satellite-based Internet connection where they can stay in touch with their co-workers back home via Skype, Dropbox, and other online tools. "Our goals are scale and innovation, scale up what we are already doing into new geographies," said Amruth Ravindranath, also of Vita Beans. "We're trying to set up meetings with publishing houses in the places we are visiting."
He admitted that his company would prefer to have more time on land rather than at sea—but acknowledged that having a condensed time on land forces more condensed (and hopefully, more-productive) meetings with education companies in various countries. After a week at sea, both teams say that they've run into one problem that they didn't fully anticipate.
"We didn't expect to get seasick," Scot Frank, the One Earth Designs co-founder, told Ars. "[Our cabins are] bottom at the front of the boat, and we feel every single wave crashing against the side of the boat. If the next 100 days are like this, it will be a nightmare."
But, he added, it will take a few days to gain his sea-legs, and things have been relatively smooth sailing so far.

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame on the PS3, Batman's greatest foes have escaped from Arkham Asylum and are creating mayhem throughout Gotham City. To capture master criminals, such as The Joker and The Penguin, you will need to employ Batman's fantastic gadgets as well as build and operate vehicles in one or two player co-operative gameplay. Explore the world of DC Comics' Caped Crusader as never before in an interactive LEGO Gotham City. Join Batman and Robin as they track down and capture infamous villains - and then take control of the villains themselves.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
LEGO Batman is the fifth go of Traveler's Tales at the LEGO theme but still only minimal change has happened during this time. However, even if that is the situation, gamers and fans of the dark-caped crusader, are sure to find the game amusing. The main reason here is that the gameplay used is a proven success. It is enjoyable and easy to understand. Yet all the problems in the past concerning the LEGO games, such as nonsense puzzles and the AI problem are still present. At this stage you would have expected Traveller's Tales to nearly perfect the game, but that is not so.
LEGO Batman is a unique game because it did not take its story from any of the Batman movies or from the comics. The plot within the game is kind of original; thus, it gives the creators a wide horizon, since there is no pressure to follow up with a well known story. The Batman here is not even connected with the Batman we know. It is exactly like a Batman in the toy shelf where you can create anything you desire with it.
The main idea of the plot is basically a story of Batman chasing and capturing villains that escaped from the Arkham Asylum. When you play LEGO Batman, the main goal is basically to destroy enemies and smash objects. The story isn't all that important.
The charm of LEGO is still present in the game and as a whole, it is still very funny. You have the same stoic Batman here, Robin is still same old goofy self, and the villains have remained amazingly crazy. The characters are really good LEGO counterparts of the cartoon Batman. However, aside from the characters, the background is not something to get crazy about. It would have been better to see a more creative Gotham City.
To the game's credit, LEGO Batman has everything in the mix. There are a multitude of characters spread out in six acts. In the first half you can use Batman and Robin. There are also power suits you can use. Robin can use the magnetic suit that allows him to walk through metal walls. And Batman has the demolition suit so he can turn stuff into smithereens in an instant (this fits Batman, he always wants everybody's attention, right?).
When you reach act three to six, you may start using the villains. In this plot, you can have a taste of how the sinister villains set up their master plan. This, however, is before the ultimate meeting between them and the bat. Each villain has their own unique powers. Poison Ivy uses her kiss to poison another. The joker gives joybuzzers to anyone he touches. Mr. Freeze places anyone in the cold storage. The Riddler controls the minds of other villains to make them his minions. You know the rest. But the main Batman Nemesis here is Killer Moth. Oh yes, the all popular Killer Moth that everybody remembers (That was an attempt at sarcasm, by the way. No one really knows who Killer Moth is or was.)
And on top of the story, there are dozens of unlockable characters that can be used when replaying levels. Among these characters are Night Wing, Batgirl, Hush, Man-Bat and others; which can be unlocked with each LEGO bit collected in the game (Cool, huh!)
There are many good things going for this game. The huge downside is that the problem from the previous LEGO games was never addressed. The AI presents problems; the jumps are difficult to time and stuff like that. But if you are looking for a good laugh with a buddy while appreciating the comical Batman and friends the game has created, then by all means, go ahead and purchase the game!

Conference Information
October 23-24, 2011 Brandeis University
Please be advised conference information is not final. Content on these pages may change.
In 2003, Brandeis University co-hosted a conference for researchers and policymakers on NJPS 2000-1, and we wrestled with how best to interpret and use the data from the decennial survey of American Jews. Although there is no longer a national study of American Jews sponsored by the Jewish community, the past decade has witnessed the growth of alternative approaches to understanding the U.S. Jewish population. To assess current understandings of the socio-demography of American Jewry, Brandeis will again host a conference of research scholars and policy makers to take stock of current knowledge, consider future research, and engage producers of research and policy makers in conversation about the usefulness of the information being generated.
The conference is being hosted by the Steinhardt Social Research Institute and Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis, in collaboration with key academic and policy centers concerned with the study of American Jewry. The Mandell L. and Madeleine H. Berman Foundation has provided generous support for the conference, along with several other foundations. Presenters and discussants include both those who specialize in research on the American Jewish community, as well as researchers who are interested more broadly in religion and culture. In addition, representatives of Jewish philanthropic and communal organizations, along with journalists, have been invited.
The specific goals of the conference are to assess the current state of knowledge about the size and characteristics of the American Jewish community, illuminate current socio-demographic research, and consider how the findings of demographic research can be used by scholars, funders, and policy organizations concerned with the Jewish community. One outcome will be a scholarly publication summarizing current research and application. But, more importantly, the conference also aspires to foster better informed dialogue about American Jewry and enhanced development and use of socio-demographic research.

Not surprised at all…. been expecting this to happen for a while. But still a little disappointed. I'm sure they will be a huge tall building likely out of character with the surrounding ones.Agree to an extent. That said, I'd prefer what is likely coming (assuming that its not a skyscraper) vs. what is there now, which is also out of balance with many of the homes/buildings on the block at present. .
with this and the recent loss of street parking on the vanderbilt/dean/carlton block due to construction, this area lost maybe about 100 spaces. people with cars are prolly feeling the squeeze a little bit now.Yup. Especially with all those film crews taking up whole blocks at a time.
It would not surprise me if the new building included parking spots for its residents.I hope you're right. But I suspect that more people = more cars. Even if they don't get a spot in the garage, they will likely bring cars with them and park on the street.
So, while the new building replaces a garage, it's residents will likely not have to compete with existing residents for spots.
Slowest construction project I've seen in a long time. Working 7 days a week but progress seems negligible. Maybe they are handcarving those sustainably sourced tub surrounds from local artisans and craftsmen. No way they occupy in June. Maybe June 2018.

Bill Clinton Joins Cast of The Hangover 2
It's only a cameo, but the former president shot his scene in Bangkok
First Mike Tyson and now Bill Clinton?
Sure enough, that will be the former president sharing screen-time with the fun-loving guys in The Hangover 2, now filming in Thailand, a Clinton source confirms to PEOPLE.
Clinton, who'll play himself in the comedy, shot his brief appearance on Saturday in Bangkok, where part of the production takes place. He was in the capital city to deliver a speech on clean energy.
Fans of the first Hangover will remember Mike Tyson's memorable performance in that movie last year, while this sequel recently made news for the coming and going of Mel Gibson, whose cameo role will now be filled by Liam Neeson.
Directed by Todd Philips, the sequel, like the original, also stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha.

ESSAY- Choices, choices: Who'd you rather peer at over the pillow?
"Well, you overlook a lot of things."
That's the wisdom my mother once shared with me when asked to define the key to a happy marriage. Of course, what I would overlook might not be what you would overlook. I suppose it all depends on what your definition of "things" is.
Ever since Hillary threw her hat into the presidential ring, the fact that she stood by her man and didn't haul his heinie into divorce court has resurfaced as a popular topic for discussion, both in the media and in the grocery store line.
"None of my business," is what I say when someone brings up the subject. What I'm thinking is: Why do you care? Then again, when you're married to the President and are known as "The First Lady," I suppose the fantasy that goes along with that is having a marriage and personal ethics that are, somehow, exemplary.
I'm baffled by conservatives who sneer at Hillary Clinton for having kept her marriage intact. After all, overcoming obstacles, working it out, taking seriously the business about "till death do us part"– correct me if I'm wrong– but are those not the bedrock family values people on the right have been braying about for decades now?
But what I find completely incomprehensible is that Laura Bush has not yet run, screaming, from the White House. Holding these two marriages up for scrutiny, one has to wonder which is worse: knowing that your husband broke his vow of fidelity, or waking up every morning next to the man who hijacked the patriotism of his countrymen and did everything in his power to make them think Iraq and Saddam were responsible for the attacks of 9/11, when he knew this was totally false?
I imagine myself in Laura's place, looking across the sheets at that remorseless, slumbering man and knowing that, in thousands of homes here and abroad, people ache for their lost loved ones, cry themselves to sleep– because of him. Because of the lies he told.
Whenever the pundits turn their attention to whether First Lady Hillary should have broken up housekeeping with President Bill, I wait in vain for the segue into how Mrs. Dubya can continue to share her life with George Bush, can look into the eyes of the man with whom she's borne children, and contemplate the needless heartache and grief he has caused.
What would you do? Maybe you'd compartmentalize, rationalize, tell yourself that he hasn't betrayed you in any way– hasn't cheated on you. Okay, maybe he's cheated on the entire country, demonstrated an allegiance to war-profiteering corporate interests at the expense of our troops, of our treasury, of our world reputation. But, hey, that's just his job, right?
Which is the character flaw you'd have the least patience with: screwing around or causing the pointless maiming and death of thousands of human beings?
This is not something I'd have to mull over– but maybe that's just me.

YARMOUTH – Luxury bedding company Cuddledown Inc. has been acquired by American Capital Ltd.'s Potpourri Group Inc., a specialty catalog company.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. American Capital, a publicly traded private equity firm, said the transaction was completed in December. Officials at Cuddledown, which got its start in Yarmouth, did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The deal marks the second acquisition of a Maine company by the Potpourri Group in recent months. In June, it acquired FetchDog, a dog accessories catalog and Internet site co-founded by actress Glenn Close and her husband, David Shaw.
Cuddledown, which began in 1973 as a family-owned firm selling down comforters directly to friends, has expanded its product line to include 30 styles of pillows, cashmere blankets, slippers, sleepwear, clothing and home decor.
Cuddledown has a catalog and website, as well as stores in Yarmouth and Freeport. It also has a wholesale business to sell to other retailers, as well as a hospitality arm that sells to hotels and resorts. It still makes comforters, pillows and featherbeds by hand, according to its website.
"Cuddledown's product offering and merchandising expertise in the high-end bedding market makes the company an excellent addition to (Potpourri Group's) diverse product mix and will give (the company) the opportunity to expand into the bedding product sector," said Brian Graff, American Capital senior vice president and senior managing director.
American Capital first invested in Potpourri Group in 2005.
Potpourri Group, based in Chelmsford, Mass., is a catalog company that has 13 brands catering primarily to women. It offers a Nature's Jewelry catalog; a needlepoint catalog, The Stitchery; and the Back in the Saddle catalog for horse enthusiasts, among others.
Potpourri Group's portfolio "caters to one of the largest, fastest-growing and attractive demographics in the country: middle- to upper-middle-income female baby boomers. The addition of Cuddledown adds valuable diversification to PGI's current merchandise mix, and its similar customer demographics are expected to promote future growth," said Helen Yang, a principal with American Capital's buyouts group.

Financial aid programs were created with the idea that the primary responsibility for paying college costs rests with the student and his or her family. Need based financial aid is available to families who demonstrate a need for additional resources to help pay college costs. The formula used to determine whether a student is eligible for need based aid is:
Budget (Cost of Attendance)
- Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
- Scholarships/Other Resources (Sponsored Tuition payments, etc.)
Your financial aid offer is based on the following factors that determine financial need:
Information on the budget and EFC can be found on the Award Overview screen on SIS.
Budget (Cost of Attendance)
The budget on SIS represents a reasonable estimate of the cost of attending the University of Michigan for 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 Fall/Winter. Please note, the budget has different amounts for room and board depending whether you live on your own, are living with your parents, or living in student housing.
Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
The information you reported on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), along with other documents on file with the Office of Financial Aid (OFA), were used to calculate your EFC. A formula called Federal Methodology, legislated by the U.S. Congress, uses information from your FAFSA and a consistent analysis of your family's situation to calculate the EFC. The EFC is made up of two parts:
- Parent Contribution: For dependent students this portion of the EFC is calculated from parental resources (taxable and non-taxable income, and assets). Allowances for living expenses (based on family size), taxes paid, the number of siblings in college, and asset protection for retirement, are built into the formula.
- Student Contribution: This is the portion of the EFC that you, the student, are expected to contribute from your income and a percentage of your savings and other assets.
How Financial Aid is Awarded
Award amounts are determined by a combination of demonstrated financial need, federal award maximums, and funds available, among other factors. All awards listed on the award screen are based on estimates of the amount of funds the University will receive, the estimated number of applications, and the anticipated average need of all applicants. Therefore, awards are subject to reduction or cancellation at any time during the academic year. Should any change from the awards you accepted be necessary you will be notified at the earliest possible date.
Scholarships and Outside Resources
Students are encouraged to seek scholarships from private sources and UM Flint, as well as to utilize other resources such as sponsored tuition payments and veterans' benefits. Federal regulations and University policies require that these forms of assistance be counted as financial resources when determining eligibility for need based Title IV financial aid, however some federal veteran's educational benefits are excluded. These scholarships and other resources will first be used to meet any gap between the budget, the EFC, and the financial aid offered. Next, they will reduce the amount of loan or Work Study offered. Only if all loan and Work Study have been replaced by scholarships or other resources will the amount of grant/scholarship aid be reduced.

Patrick Leahy
|Patrick Leahy
|Senior U.S. Senator from Vermont
From: January 3, 1975 – present
|George Aiken
|Incumbent (no successor)
|Marcelle Pomerleau
|Roman Catholic
Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, is the senior senator from Vermont. He is the current chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee and has served in the Senate since 1974. His re-election races have not been close since the 1980 election.
After countless stories of election fraud by the group ACORN, Patrick Leahy was one of seven Democrats that voted to continue funding ACORN. The vote failed and ACORN was stripped of funding in the Senate [1] Bill Wilson of Americans for Limited Government said, "The ACORN Housing Corporation has long been pushing the very loose-lending policies that helped destroy the housing industry. And now it has been exposed for working with prostitutes, as well. Yet, these seven Senators [Leahy] have knowingly voted to keep sending taxpayer money to a highly corrupt organization of pushers and pimps," [2]
Leahy has appeared in three Batman films: The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight and Batman & Robin.

The United States Government is unparalleled in its purchasing power. As the world's largest consumer of good and services, the federal government awarded contracts totaling over $536 billion in FY 2011.
When evaluating the federal marketplace, a company should consider the two primary market segments: defense entities and non-defense or civilian agencies.
In FY 2011, civilian agencies combined spent approximately $161 billion on products and services, with the largest purchasers being the Departments of Energy, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security and the General Services Administration.
Civilian agencies are ready to do business, on a competitive basis, with competent firms that can supply quality products and services on time and at a reasonable price.
However, companies should not market to every civilian entity simultaneously, but rather take a targeted approach and focus efforts on two or three entities by first determining the most viable agency for government sales, and then developing a marketing plan to focus sales efforts.
Offices of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) exist at each civilian agency to assist small businesses in their contracting efforts. For a listing of OSDBUs, please see the Resources page on this website.
For assistance entering the federal civilian marketplace, please contact the PTAC at SAP&DC at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You can practically see the imprint of the glove on someone's face when you tag them enough. You can tell the severity of a cut – from mere scrapes to deep gashes – on the cheek just by looking. And once the blood starts flowing, you'll know it. It's all over the ring -- and Roberto Duran's trunks.
Fight Night Champion
, the fifth entry in the series, does an excellent job of enhancing the experience in the ring. Not only can you see the impact of punches, but some gameplay tweaks give you better control over their delivery.

Gone is the old punching system that required complex analogue stick moves, such as half-circle moves for uppercuts. Now, every punch is thrown by flicking the stick quickly in a specific direction. The altered punching system not only speeds up the flow of a bout, but also puts the emphasis of your fighting skills on your strategy. It's nice to know you are definitely throwing an uppercut rather than hoping you made the right movements with the thumbstick to pull one off. You can still attempt a ridiculous rapid-punch session, but the penalty of exhausting your fighter quickly is severe. No one can really play like a fool and have long-term success with Fight Night.
Other changes include replacing the over-the-top haymaker with a modifier to simply add a little oomph to any punch, simplified blocking, and a new stamina/endurance system that's a touch more sophisticated than before. Streamlining the gameplay makes the technical aspects of a fight easier to grasp, allowing you to focus on more important areas -- like trying to actually box.
And when I say "box," I mean as opposed to brawling. The option to just wail away is still present in Fight Night Champion, but only at the default settings. Even then, the addition of flash knockouts requires even mindless punch jockeys to consider using defense. If you don't move around the ring and protect yourself, you risk more than just abuse. The threat of a one-punch KO is constant. Previous Fight Nights had "flash knockdowns" before, which means getting dropped to the mat suddenly with one hit, but a flash knockout means that you are immediately unconscious with no chance to get up. It's an instant KO.
That's new and the danger of such a sudden ending to a fight has an impact on how you play Fight Night Champion. I've had matches where I was winning easily, but because I got careless, I left myself open for the perfect strike at the perfect angle and took a shot that stunned the world.
The AI is smart. In fact, it's smart enough that boxers feel like individuals when you face them. Ali and Tyson don't fight the same way. Ali plays with you; Tyson tries to destroy you. Fighters react well to situations. If you're in the seventh round and they know they're losing on points, they might become more aggressive. If cut, they are often overly protective of that side of their face. Sometimes fighters make dumb moves. Like if Jake LaMotta, the Raging Bull, is pounding them inside, they don't move around and play at a distance. Sometimes they just keep coming.
Maybe that's because some fighters are just plain stupid or maybe the AI simply isn't reacting correctly. It's hard to say. I've had fights that feel authentic and others that just don't seem to match up. A cautious Iron Mike Tyson? It happened to me once (at least for three rounds before he landed a punch that flattened Holyfield in a flash).
Even with all these improvements, the battles in the ring are missing the key element that makes professional boxing special -- the drama. As good as the gameplay mechanics are, it still feels like an exhibition. EA must have sensed this, because it took a bit of a gamble and created an all-new story mode that, at least for a few hours, injects some humanity into a generally soulless experience.

This week's cover art by Lawrence Roberts is eye-catching, perhaps because it's not your ordinary beach scene. The image is an example of Minimalism and fantasy. Roberts' mixture of styles is an indication of his aesthetics, his way of seeing the environment from varied perspectives.
Where did you get your inspiration for "A Touch of Romance," the cover image?
It was from a photograph of a friend dancing on a Hudson River pier near the West Village in New York. I put my twist on it by putting the couple on a beach.
What made you put the people on a beach?
The light in the photo reminded me of the light on the beach in the Hamptons.
Are there other specific things that attract you to a particular setting or subject?
What influences me is where I am at any given moment. I contribute my approach of seeing things to any place. It's not the place itself that determines if I paint it.
So you don't prefer the city over the country?
I like them equally well.
But every environment must have similar qualities.
Every setting has bold form, simplicity. You can find these in most environments. You have to tease them out. There's also shape and motion and an emotional feeling present.
It seems to me that these qualities are easier to find in the country.
The challenge is to say something new and intriguing with the simplicity.
So where does originality come from?
From teasing out isolated elements to make a thing clearer, to find spaces between things, not the thing itself. Seeing parts of things rather than the Gestalt.
You teach law, which seems so separated from art. How does art and law connect?
Every artist can benefit from a year in law school. Artists could learn how to think like a lawyer, to see the world as a series of relationships. To ask questions, like "Is this all there is? What's the scope? To imagine what could be." (Every artist does that already.)
These ideas could apply to a lot of disciplines.
It's not exclusive to art. To perceive by analogy, explore an issue beyond what has been done before. You're looking at existing environments to see what is not commonly observed, what isn't taken for granted.
What came first, law or art?
I grew up in a family of lawyers. I started using a camera at 15, and I had some art in high school. I learned that it's a common illusion that photography captures reality. But it just crafts the environment. I also learned to make a connection between the visual arts: photography, sculpture, painting.
What else did you learn about connections?
It's good to have wildly varied interests, to experience a new idea that was fascinating.
What do you do with your ideas?
If it's a legal one, I write a paper. If you're a judge, he/she could write an opinion. Each discipline has its method, but the approach is universal. I like to take something that is out in left field and apply it to something traditional. The point is, come up with a solution.
There are so many things that need solutions,
Little things make a difference if you are making change in the right time and place.

We Eat Every Sandwich at Court Street Grocers' Red Hook Hero Shop
Hurricane Sandy may have delayed the opening of Court Street Grocers' Red Hook hero shop, but the wait paid off. The counter service shop, an offshoot of the Carroll Gardens original, offers spins on American classics like roast beef, Italian combos, breakfast sandwiches, and other regional specialties—all on crisp, airy hero bread from Caputo's.
Fans of Court Street as we are, we stopped by the new shop to try every sandwich they sell. The short answer? While our sandwich success rate wasn't as high as what we've had at the original shop, there are several heros with a trip.
These cross-section shots might make you think they're skimping on the fillings, but we found all the sandwiches well proportioned, if not stuffed to the brim. The bread, in all cases, was great: fresh with a crackly crust and a plush interior. Here's our rundown of all the sandwiches, roughly ordered from most to least favorite.
Mr. Cays ($9)
Why can't all roast beef sandwiches be as good as this one? Beautifully rare roast beef comes with mild arugula, a Worcestershire vinaigrette, sliced red onions, and a French onion jus for dipping on the side. Not that this beef needs anything, even the funky vinaigrette, to stand out—it has a mineral twang on its own. We've paid 50% more for roast beef with less meaty umph. Get on this.
Italian Combo ($9)
This sandwich might be the closest thing you'll find to a New Orleans muffaletta in New York. Thinly sliced mortadella, capicola, soppressata come with a briny olive salad and Swiss, mozzarella, and Percorino cheeses. More cheesy and olive-y than New York-style combos, it evokes the holy trinity of cured meat fat, dairy fat, and olive fat with enough lactic and briny tang for balance. Bravo, Court Street Grocers, bravo.
Smoke Thief ($11)
The only sandwich over $9 on the menu, smoky pork shoulder with a vinegar slaw, pickles, and sweet barbecue sauce. Sweet sauce rarely has anything to offer pork barbecue, and that's the case here, especially with all that vinegary slaw fighting the good fight. We also found the pork a touch too sweet and overcooked. But as far as barbecue sandwiches go, this one has some merits.
The Ollie ($9)
Is it a turkey-fied take on a Philly roast pork sandwich? A broccoli rabbed tuna melt? We're thinking something in between for this turkey, provolone, and rabe sandwich with mayo and sriracha-laced honey. But perhaps it would have done better to choose one classic rather than mash to up. The turkey lacks pork's backbone against the surprisingly bitter broccoli rabe, and we felt the sandwich needed more heat and salt to work as a gussied-up turkey-mayo-cheese sandwich. But it's still a satisfying one.
Breakfast Sandwiches ($5 to $6.50)
Between 9 and 11 a.m. you can get breakfast sandwiches stuffed with super-tender scrambled eggs that stay that way even after a long subway trip. The Mr. Victor adds not enough Cheddar, mild sausage, and arugula. There's also a version with mild chorizo, a plain egg option, and a bacon and egg. Our favorite is a combination of these: ask for egg with extra cheese and some bacon—it gets you the best of all worlds.
The Yasha ($9)
A lighter take on the tuna salad sandwich that stars oil-packed tuna with green goddess dressing and pickled lemon. Some of us wanted more condiments for balance and perhaps an added textural component, but the fish is several steps up from the deli standard.
Turkey Sandwich ($8; add bacon for $2)
A simpler take on the Ollie with just turkey, pickles, arugula, red onion, and mayo. Bacon comes for $2 extra, though we don't think it adds much. It's simple in an after school snack sort of way, though we wish the turkey were more moist and had more going on.
Uncle Chucky ($9)
As at Court Street 1.0, vegetarian sandwiches get short changed. This butternut squash sandwich with white bean purée is alarmingly sweet despite the fennel and pickled onions that come on top. The double dose of starch is grainy more than creamy. You can pass on this one.

BRUSSELS, Oct 8 (Reuters) - EU regulators will decide nextyear whether to fine Danish drugmaker Lundbeck andFrench peer Servier for blocking the entry of cheaper genericmedicines into the market, the EU's antitrust chief said onMonday.
In July, the European Commission charged the two companiesand 13 other competitors with illegal "pay-for-delay" dealswhere brand-name companies pay generic firms to abstain fromputting their rival drugs on the market.
"We are concerned that these companies misused their patentsto keep markets closed to cheap generic medicines," EUCompetition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia EU lawmakers at ahearing.
"I hope that the decisions we will adopt - hopefully in 2013- will change current practices by some players in the industrythat leave a lot to be desired," he said.
The companies can be fined up to 10 percent of their globalturnover if found guilty of breaching EU rules.
Lundbeck's deals were with German drugmaker Merck KGaA, Generics UK, Arrow, Resolution Chemicals, XelliaPharmaceuticals, Alpharma, A.L. Industrier and Ranbaxy.
The Commission said Servier's case involved Israel's Teva, Niche, which is a subsidiary of Unichem ,Matrix, which is now known as Mylan Laboratories Limited, Krka and Lupin .
The EU watchdog's move against pay-for-delay deals cameafter a high-profile sector enquiry in 2009 concluded that theagreements cost consumers millions of euros annually. U.S.regulators are also looking into such agreements.
