As the national spotlight turns to the U.S. Supreme Court this week with two historic arguments on same-sex marriage, the court on Monday made headlines on another high-profile issue: affirmative action.
Just 10 years ago a narrow court majority upheld affirmative action programs in higher education in an opinion written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. But ever since O'Connor retired and was replaced by the more conservative Justice Samuel Alito, the court has been on a steady march to get rid of all race-conscious programs.
In October, the justices heard arguments in a case from the University of Texas that has the potential to reverse O'Connor's affirmative action ruling.
After oral arguments, the only real question seemed to be whether the court would rule broadly, striking down all affirmative action programs, or narrowly, dealing just with the University of Texas program — a program with unique features. Then too, there was the possibility that the court would deadlock 4 to 4 because Justice Elena Kagan is recused from the case.
But on Monday, with the Texas case still undecided, the court surprised observers by accepting yet another affirmative action case for next term. This one, from Michigan, tests whether voters, by referendum, can bar affirmative action programs in higher education.
It is unclear just what it means that the court seemed to jump the gun in the case. After all, it will not be heard until next term. But if the justices are readying a broad decision in the Texas case, invalidating all affirmative action programs, it would seem to be unnecessary to hear the Michigan case.
Michigan's controversy began in 2006 when voters, by a vote of 58 percent to 42 percent, passed a state constitutional amendment prohibiting state universities from implementing race-conscious admissions policies. Civil rights groups and individuals challenged the law and won in the lower courts.
A federal appeals court cited Supreme Court rulings from the late 1960s that faulted referendums overturning local civil rights laws because the ballot initiatives appeared to target minorities. The lower court said that Michigan's anti-affirmative action referendum was much like those cases and could not stand.
But a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court now seems to be of a very different view, in numerous cases expressing overt hostility to race-conscious programs generally. That would seem to make it likely that the court will revive the Michigan referendum.
Such a ruling would be ironic indeed, since it was the affirmative action program at the University of Michigan Law School that the Supreme Court upheld in 2003.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
Under a cold gray sky outside the U.S. Supreme Court, people are waiting. A line of those hoping for a seat at tomorrow's same-sex marriage arguments winds down the court's steps and along the sidewalk. In a few minutes, we'll hear from some of those people who are enduring the chill and rare March snow to get into the court tomorrow.
Meanwhile, today, inside the Supreme Court, the justices threw a curveball on another high-profile issue, affirmative action. For more on that, NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg joins us now. And. Nina, what's the curveball?
NINA TOTENBERG, BYLINE: Well, as you may recall, Audie, the court last fall heard arguments in a case testing the constitutionality of affirmative action in admissions at the University of Texas. Now, just 10 years ago, the court upheld affirmative action programs in higher education in an opinion written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
But ever since O'Connor retired and was replaced by the more conservative Justice Samuel Alito, the court has been on an apparent march to get rid of all race-conscious programs. And after oral arguments in the Texas case, the only real question seemed to be whether the court would rule broadly or narrowly to get rid of the Texas program.
Well, today, before resolving the Texas case, the court accepted for review another affirmative action case for next term. This one testing whether voters, by referendum, can bar affirmative action programs in higher education.
CORNISH: So why is this considered a curveball?
TOTENBERG: Because it really does seem to jump the gun even before there's a ruling in the pending affirmative action case. And that's not something the court usually does.
CORNISH: So what are people making of this?
TOTENBERG: Well, I really don't think it's entirely clear. You could infer from this that if the court were, for example, going to bar affirmative action programs, why would they need to be jumping the gun with this case? So perhaps the court is going to rule narrowly in the Texas case and therefore has taken this case. I do think it's fair to say that it's further evidence of the conservative justices' overt hostility to race-conscious programs.
CORNISH: So, tell us a little bit more about this new case that the court's accepting.
TOTENBERG: Well, the lower court ruled that Michigan voters could not simply ban affirmative action programs in higher education. The appeals court cited Supreme Court rulings from the late 1960s that faulted referendums overturning local civil rights laws and that thus appeared to target minorities. The appeals court said that Michigan's anti-affirmative action referendum was much like this and could not stand.
But, in fact, a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court right now seems not to like these kinds of programs. So I think the appeals court decision is likely to fall and the ban on affirmative action in Michigan is likely to go into effect, which of course is a little bit ironic since it was the University of Michigan Law School program that the Supreme Court upheld just 10 years ago.
CORNISH: All right, Nina, let me just turn briefly to tomorrow's case. We're about to hear from the folks outside the courthouse steps. But tell us, what can they expect once they come inside?
TOTENBERG: Well, there are 400 seats in the courtroom, and that includes the section reserved for the Supreme Court bar, for counsel, the press, special groups or guests. The court usually tries to save 60 to 70 seats for members of the public to sit for the full argument, which will be an hour tomorrow, two hours, almost two hours the next day. And there are an additional 30 or so seats for people to rotate in and out for three to five minutes.
My understanding is that if you don't get in on the first day, then you can stay in line and maybe get in the second day and, of course, you can listen to the arguments. They'll be posted online the same day.
CORNISH: That's NPR's legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg. Nina, thank you.
TOTENBERG: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Local Zionist District to Honor His IVIemory Wednesday Evening The dcLisioii of Magi>;tratc Brodsky in thc Ilrcmcn ca<;c is by now, of coursc. cointiion knowledge in all pai'U of the country. But lot me recall thc cirruin- stanctis finite briefly. A Kroup of young men ture down the Swastika flag from the Imcr Bremen. Tliey,were brought before Mat'islrate Brodsky of New York who dismissed the charges of rioting aKain-it nil but one of the group and in his decision characterized all that the Swastika Hag stands for of barljaribin, of crijclty, of nnriglitcousties*; with passion¬ ate ¦clofjueucc. The Nazi press and rov- I ermncnt reacted, of course, with thc ut- I most violence, the Anicrican Nazis gath¬ ered in thc Yorkville Casino and proni- ibed tlic^ Jcwi of America a hitter <lay ol reckoning; the government of the U. S. A, has an international "incident" un its hands. The cube has been the object of edi¬ torial comment in the press not only in New York but in many parts of the country. So far as I havt hcen able to study tlio.se editorials, the American press is not inclined to disagree with Magis¬ trate Brodsky. ,\ Buffalo paper that T happened to see went sn far as to saj that he expressed what was probably thc point of view of tlie great majority of Americans. But the entire jiress depre¬ cated his outburst because (1) it came from a judge's bench, antl (2) because according to the stiff and formal and essentially meaningless but immensely pertinent and powerful prhiciples of thc diplomatic intercourse between nations it gave the present German government cause for a formally correct grievance and places our government in an attitude of apologetic concern. No one, I think, [ will accu.sc Washington of being pro- Nazi, mild and unsatisfactory as the ex¬ pression of its sentiments has been. And now Washington will in sOine form liavc to apologise tn the Na/is. That is tint a happy re.sult. That docs not create a happy or helpful situation for anyone concerned. ABRAHAM I. KOOk' The Cf)lumbus Zionist Dibtrict will bold a Memorial meeting in honor of the memory of Chief Rabbi Kouk this com¬ ing Wednesday evening, October 2nd, at S p. m., at thc Coluinbub Hebrew School. Rabbi M. f lirsclisprung will deliver the memorial address and Cantor P. II. Gell¬ man will chant thc memorial prajer. Roy J. Stone, president of the Columbus Zion¬ ist District, will be llic chairman of the meeting and Robert L. Mellman, presi¬ dent of the Columbus Hebrew School, will introduce tbc speaker. W^hcu Rabbi Kouk \isited America in March, lf)i!I, he was received at the City Hall in New York as an lionfjred guest of the city and innnediatcly this devout orthodox rabbi won the hearts of all New York Jewry. It was then that America learned the true status of thc man and was struck by the kindly wisdom and hu¬ manitarian uiiderstanding of this gr^at scholar and religious leader. R.ihbi Hirschsprung came in personal contact with the great Chief Rabbi at that time. Roosevelt UrG^es Support for Back to Church and Synagogue Drive XF.W YORK (WNS)—A joint inlcr- crcalal c-imp.iign for ccoiir)niic recovery and .spiritual reiival under thc auspices of thc National Comniittce for Religion*! and Welfare Recovery was launched at a meeting in town hall "preliminary to the iiulion-wi<le observation of Loyalty Days, October ."» and G, set aside for the ino- bili/ation of tlie country's "ipiritual forces. In a message to the meeting Pre-iident Roosevelt expressed thc hope "that there will be a %videspread and hearty response on the part of the people lo this call to :is.<ienible in their churches an<l sjuogogucs for the purpose of re- dedicating themselves to thc service of Cirnl and uf tlicir fellow-men" because we must realize that in thc last anal >sis" (he "abundant life for our iicoplc' can come "only as there ib a deeper real l/atioii of moral .ind spiritual values.' I'ornicr Governor Alfred E. Smith asked fur a return to religions guidance to maintain peace and good will. Solomon Stroock, chairman of thc executive com¬ mittee of the Ainerican Jewish Commit¬ tee, warned that "race prcj udicc' has again raised its ui^ly head in our coun¬ try*' and that "this viper must be de¬ stroyed lest all of our efforts to realize the brotberhpod of man fail utterly and bitterly." Religious Persecution Abroad Flayed at Eucharistic Congress Cf.FA'ELAKD (WNS) —Denuncia¬ tion of religions persecution abro.id was the keynote of fiprning speeches iiy Car¬ dinal Hayes, I'o'^tinastt'r General I'arley ;md Ma>or Davis at tbe openitiR cere¬ monies f>f the seventh Natirnial Euchar¬ istic Coii^rc-s. Cardinal Hayes, who is the personal representative of thc Pope, fcaid thnt "I glory in our country in these days and tunes when I rcali/e nations have organii^ed to tlethroiio, yea, to de¬ stroy AhniKJity God and turn the ininds of men away from Iiim. I doubt if you fan go back thrbu(ih history and iind be¬ fore a nation dedicated to flcitniy reli¬ gion." Postmaster General Farlyy declared that "throiijdiout our history as a nation we have ffiven t(} thc world a notable expression of the meaning of religious freedom. We shall continue to do so. But unfoitunately there are countries in the family of nations who little under¬ stand the \ery foundation stone of last¬ ing i>cace. They talk of peace and de¬ stroy the very keystone of peace which is belief in and the worship of Almighty Gnd, Tlicy glory in the persecution of religion." Mayor Davis remarked that "in these troubled days w hen in some places the vicious head of racial and reli[;ious prejudice rears its head il is in- crcasim^ly gratifyine; that to us tbc prin¬ ciple of liberty and freedom, irrespective of race, creed or nationality, as guaran¬ teed in our Constitution, is more than an empty phrase but a deeply felt .rule of conduct, constantly guiding us in our daily life." Accepts Chairmanship of Hebrew School Mem- hership Drive I understand Magistrate Brodsky. He and will relate his meetings with him. relieved his feelings, his just and correct I feelings and so gave a vicarious release to both Jews and other friends of liberty and humanity. Furthermore Mr. Brod¬ sky thought that- he had very cleverly dodged the difhcultics inherent in thc situ¬ ation hy su])posititiously ascribing his sentiments to the defendants, by saying: even if these men believed so and so; even if to them the Swastika is like a pirate's pennant, I shall find them guilty if they nre guilty. Hc was clever. He was, alas, not clever enough. Or rather, hc should have gauged the situation nut with cleverness at all. Hc should have been more sensitive to all the grave but imponderable elements of the matter in its entirety. Hc was clever and both as a Jew and as an Ainerican inseiibitivc. No one will accuse me of favoring d servile pussyfoot Jewish policy. Ah, if only Magistrate Erodsky, when that case was brought before him, had taken ofiF his robe of oflfice and descended from Ins scat and said: "I am a Jew; to nic thc swastika flag is the emblem of all evil and of the blood and tears of my breth¬ ren. Call in another judge. I cannot bit in judgment here!" Had he done so, I sivear that America would have rung from end to end with praise of a Jew's courage and of a Jew's loyalty. The trouble is, the \vretched trouble is that he "pussyfooted" as a Jew; that he spoke as an American abstractly and that consequently be gave ev,en those Atneri¬ cans who agree with him a subtle feeling of discomfort and has, of course, infuri¬ ated all those—and ihey arc millions— whose latent anti-Semitism needs only a touch to set it blazing. In addition be has embarras.scd both thc government of his state and the national government and embarrassment causes irritation and irrl- taiion causes enmity. He did not under¬ stand that the nations do not like a-Jew to biK'ak for them and in their name ex¬ cept in so far as such a Jew may be definitely delegated tu speak on matters having no emotional repercussion. Sensi¬ bilities arc involved here which even in a righteous cause we hurt or outrage at our peril. The Jewi.sh cause can be profitably de¬ fended only Jewibhly, Not under cover. Not under any cover of any kind. Only Jewislily. That is not all. That is not thc worst. The worbt is that the defendants in the cabc arc Communists. One of tlicin turns out to have been Robert Rice, the young {Continued on page 4) President Stone of thc district urges all Jews of the city to attend this meet¬ ing in honor of an oitlstanding Jewish leafier aud Zionist.

Three weeks ago, this affair was hardly a line in the scribe's minute book, but today, because the feeling wliich the com¬ munity manifested for such an affair was so intense, it has bectimc a reality. And here is the best news of all— tickets will sell for only fifty c«nts per couple! A truly unprecedented figure for such an occasion and one of the greatest reasons why practically every Jewish couple in the city is expected to be present. At the time the Chronicle goes to press, two splendid orchestras arc untler con¬ sideration, tbe choice to be made at the regular meeting of the chapter Thurs¬ day evening. Complete details will be an¬ nounced in next week's issue.

Speaking before a group of prominent leaders of all creeds from the buiiuess, civic and political life of the state, (governor Hoff¬ man declared that Bolshevism, Sociali-m or any other ism is not worying us but "one of the most dangerous tendencies facing us today is where a nation vio¬ lates human life and the rights of the people. The people who arc being per¬ secuted in other nations of the world." Emphasizing that the people of New Jer¬ sey and of America must show the rest of the workl that they will not stand for bigotry or prejudice, Governor Hoffman asserted tbat "we recognize that the great job ui America today is to promote fel'- lowsbip and brotherliood, and these things cannot be developed in any land where there is not breadth of vision and freedom that permits the recognition of the rights of other people lo have their own belief and to worship in line with the dictates of their own conviction," Thc .Americiin Good Will Pkuiue and bcrull listing thc names of all the pa¬ pers affiliated with thc Seven Arts Fea¬ ture Syndicate was presented to Gov¬ ernor Hoffman in helialt of the cflitors by Joseph ,Brainin, etlitor of the syndi¬ cate. In making the presentation Mr, Brainin .said that "as American Jews we do not plead for tolerance for that would be manifesting a lack of self-respect. This pla(|ue is not a reward for au atti¬ tude of indulgence but a recognition of Governor Hoffman's determination to fight prejudice and bigotry wherever it arises."

In an effort to save Greenberg from making a difiicult decision involving both his religioub scruples and his loyalty to bis team a mt)vement was started here to petition Kencsaw M. Landis, hascball commissioner, to declare October 7th an open flate, Commibsioner Landis, how¬ ever, antionnccd that there would be no change in thc schedule. "The National Baseball Commisbion has arranged its schedule for the World Scries and that will be followed. Only weather condi¬ tions or some other act of God could change tbe schedule."

Katy Perry has tidied up some old business, selling her fortress-like compound in Hollywood Hills West for $5.565 million.
The pop singer bought the property in 2011 with her then-husband, actor Russell Brand, for $6.5 million. But the couple never moved in and were divorced in 2012.
The double-gated Mediterranean-style house, built in 1925, features an impressive baronial stone foyer with a sweeping staircase. A two-story living room, stained-glass windows, a carved fireplace mantel in the living room, a pub, a study and a media room are among other features.
Hot Property: In the Jan. 12 Business section, an article on the $13-million sale of a Beverly Hills home misidentified entertainment industry executive Roger Birnbaum's wife as Pamela, a former spouse who did not own the home. Birnbaum's current wife's name is Leslie.
Called Park Hill, the house sits on nearly 3 acres with a caretaker's apartment/carriage house and a guesthouse. Including a four-room master suite, two guest suites and staff quarters, there are seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and 8,835 square feet of living space.
Perry, 29, released the album "Prism" last year. Among her previous albums are "One of the Boys" (2008) and "Teenage Dream" (2010), which included five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 list.
She is slated to perform Jan. 26 at the Grammy Awards.
Ernie Carswell and Christopher Pickett of Teles Properties, Beverly Hills, were the listing agents. David Coe of Keller Williams represented the buyer.
Like father, like daughter
Film producer Megan Ellison seems to be taking after her billionaire father, Larry Ellison, chief executive of Oracle Corp., when it comes to making shrewd real estate purchases.
He owns a string of houses along Malibu's exclusive Carbon Beach. She is becoming known for buying up adjacent properties to create larger holdings.
Last year she sold her three-house compound in Hollywood Hills West for close to $47 million, pocketing a gain of about $14 million in the five years since she bought the first property. Now she has spent $20 million on a striking mansion and $10 million on adjacent land to create a 9-acre mountaintop estate in the same community.
The contemporary house, looking like a cross between an art museum and a modern church, was built in 1990. The city view home features nearly 10,000 square feet of living space containing guest apartments, a bar, a gym, a media room, a sauna, six bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The grounds include a grotto swimming pool with a spa, a sand volleyball court and parking for 25 vehicles.
Ellison, 27, is the founder of Annapurna Pictures. Her producer credits include "Lawless" (2012), "Zero Dark Thirty" (2010) and "True Grit" (2010).
She is also a producer on the recently released "American Hustle."
Aaron Kirman of John Aaroe Group and Branden Williams and Rayni Romito of Hilton & Hyland were the listing agents for the house. Eric Purcell Lofthus of Hilton & Hyland had the land listing. Ben Bacal of Rodeo Realty represented Ellison.
Is a quick sale in the cards?
Constance Zimmer of "House of Cards" put her home in the Hollywood Hills up for sale at $1.175 million and in 10 days it was in escrow.
The 1940s home has been updated while maintaining some of its early contemporary vibe. Walls of glass in the vaulted-ceiling living room open to a wraparound deck. The two-bedroom, 1.75-bathroom house has another, lower-level deck with a hot tub. There are views of the Hollywood sign and the cityscape.
A busy actress, Zimmer, 43, is also part of the cast this year of "The Newsroom" and "Grey's Anatomy." She will have a role in the midseason sitcom "Growing Up Fisher" and will guest star in the pilot of "Complications."
Her earlier television series work includes "Entourage," "Love Bites" and "Boston Legal."
Public records show that Zimmer bought the property in 2006 for $1.149 million.
Boni Bryant, Joe Reichling and Patrick Moya of Sotheby's International Realty are the listing agents.
Pair reach an executive decision
Entertainment industry executive Roger Birnbaum and his wife, Pamela, have sold their Beverly Hills home for $13 million.
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom contemporary farmhouse sits behind gates on close to half an acre with a swimming pool and gardens. The two-story living room has vaulted beamed ceilings, a massive fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to a covered veranda and outdoor fireplace. There is a roomy bar, a glass-enclosed wine room and an oak-paneled office.
The Birnbaums bought the 7,187-square-foot house new from former talent manager and high-end remodeler Sandy Gallin in 2007 for $16.5 million, public records show.
Roger Birnbaum, 63, and Gary Barber co-founded the film production company Spyglass Entertainment in 1998.
Stephen Shapiro and Jon Bronson of Westside Estate Agency were the listing agents. Shapiro also represented the buyer.
Meet the buyers in Pasadena
"Meet the Fockers" and "Meet the Parents" screenwriter Jim Herzfeld has sold his home in Pasadena for $3.95 million.
Unlike most residential properties in the Los Angeles area, the traditional-style house has a spring-fed pond on its nearly 1-acre site. There's a swimming pool, too, should the watering hole fail to suffice.
Built in 1999, the home features dormer windows and a gabled roof. The 6,600 square feet of living space includes dining, family and living rooms, two fireplaces, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Herzfeld bought the property in 1998 for $720,000, public records show.
Janice McGlashan of Coldwell Banker was the listing agent. Kip Barker of Podley Properties represented the buyers.

Warm homecoming for NH soldiers returning from Afghanistan
By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader

MANCHESTER — Five-year-old Major Fish scampered through Manchester-Boston Regional Airport to give his dad a hug for the first time in nearly a year.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Major shouted as he ran toward Chief Warrant Officer 2 William Fish of Gilmanton, who returned to New Hampshire on Thursday evening from a tour in Afghanistan with the 169th Medevac Detachment of the New Hampshire Army National Guard.
Fish, a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot, and his roommate and copilot while they were in Afghanistan, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jon Shallow of Hampton Beach, left Sept. 29 of last year for training in Fort Hood, Texas. They served a nine-month tour in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
"It's great" to be home, Shallow said. "It's been a long time coming."
Fish described the country as a constant of hot, dusty desert. He and Shallow flew medical rescue missions into what Shallow called "the worst situations where people are having the worst days of their lives."
"It was 95 percent sheer boredom and 5 percent sheer terror," Fish said of his deployment.
"You wait and wait and wait, and then the call comes in and you go as quick as you can and you fire the aircraft up and go help whoever needs help. Then you go park it for a little while and wait for the next one."
Major, who called Fish's arrival "great," was echoed by Shallow's sister, Christine Patane of Goffstown.
"It's so fabulous," she said while standing next to her brother outside the airport. "I'm so happy he's home."
"Now he can harass me from nearby instead of from overseas," she said with a laugh.
Maj. Gen. William N. Reddel greeted Fish and Shallow as they came through the airport gate and said he was relieved to greet another couple of troops who made it home safely.
"You always pray that things will work out for the best," he said. "Anytime I can see a family member greeting their (family) member; it's pretty cool."
Lt. Col. Gregory Heilshorn, spokesman for the New Hampshire Army National Guard, said 10 more soldiers are expected to arrive tonight.

Amazing post, as ever!xxReplyDelete
The way you reveal beauty of places is incredible ! I often go to the Jocteur boulangerie and had never

I was really honored to meet you !
Wow - you certainly have tasted your way through the pastries in a few days. Och, exercise? You'll do that around NYC, in between your amazing pastry shops, too ;-)ReplyDelete
Bon voyage! Let me know when you're next back in town, ok? Thanks for the fun at the salon du chocolat.ReplyDelete
Love that gold chicken! I have Buff Orphingtons & when the sun hits them just right they gleam like that, but I don't think they would pose so nicely in the winnow sill.
I painted clouds on a ceiling once sans fleurs. Next time it will be on canvas then attached as I have permanent neck crick!
I would love to sample the pistachio/apricot pastry especially. Everything else looked tasty tho. Lucky you to have expert guidance.
You packed in so much this trip. I appreciate all you show us PBers! Look forward to what you saved to share after you relax & rest.
Wow - That was a whirlwind trip to Paris. Next time you're in town, I would like to audition for the CPC. In the meantime, I'll continue my rigorous training!

Wan Mohd Asnur Wan Jantan
Dungun Terengganu, Malaysia
Class Year:
LL.M & Wharton Business and Law Certificate (Class of 2012)
Prior Education:
LL.B (Honors), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)
Certificate in Company Administration, Harun M. Hashim Law Centre, IIUM
What I Did Before Law School:
I worked as Federal Counsel at the International Affairs Division of the Attorney General's Chambers in Putrajaya, Malaysia. I have dealt with various matters relating to international law including international trade, WTO and ASEAN, ASEAN Single Window, international finance and double taxation issues, international investment law and investor-State disputes, international arbitration and disputes, and international maritime, territorial and civil aviation matters.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
To me, Penn Law is more than being amongst the best Ivy League Schools that enjoy a global prestige; it is an unparalleled educational experience that deeply celebrates and integrates the interdisciplinary study of law. It has created a learning paradigm that is rich with multidimensional analyses of law and economics, political economy, social sciences and international relations, science and technology as well as other disciplines. Penn Law offers a wide array of practical experiences and field research opportunities such as various international programs including Global Research Seminars, internships and externships, public interest and pro bono legal services and clinical programs. These opportunities also influenced my decision making process as I looked for an institution that would enable me to flourish as a multidisciplinary person whose theoretical and practical skills are simultaneously developed and honed.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
Participating in the Global Research Seminar (GRS) on Comparative EU and US Telecommunications Law which is taught in parallel with a seminar at the Dresden Institute of Technology in German and also incorporates field research visits to Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Germany and Brussels.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
Professor William Burke-White has certainly influenced the way I view international law making dynamics in the light of legitimacy and prospect of global governance, and contemporary trends in international relations vis-à-vis interplay of multiple centers of powers induced by States and non-state actors. Professors Christopher S. Yoo and Howard Chang have also influenced me to go beyond legalistic analyses to cross-disciplinary appreciation of law and economics, and to a certain extent, engineering and technology policies may be invariably interwoven.
My Favorite Course:
The Global Governance Seminar taught and led by Professor William Burke-White is my most favorite course as it fosters a critical, yet healthy, meeting of minds on leading issues and challenges in global affairs and discusses the effectiveness of international systems and the evolution of their ability to respond to those issues/challenges. Freely intellectual speech and informed debates define the course. As the Seminar is also a newly launched joint effort between the United Nations Foundation and Penn Law, I personally think that the process of production of a set of Governance Report Cards by students in the class augurs great collaborative research, scientific study and analyses, and complementary educational exchanges that augment each of the students' knowledge and experience.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Strolling down the Locust Walk at the heart of the Penn Campus and embracing each moment as a student again.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I am proud to be part of the Penn Law community and Wharton Program which allow me to interact and engage with a bright and nice circle of friends from diversely unique background.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
I truly enjoy the learning experience beyond the classroom setting. I find the various series of Penn Law talks, lectures and annual Symposia, Wharton lectures, and Fulbright enrichment seminars very insightful. These activities certainly expand my intellectual horizons.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
The Penn Book Store, Biddle Law Library and The Patty and Jay H. Baker Forum at Jon M. Huntsman Hall at the Wharton School.

Meeting planned to discuss renovations at Haigh School
SALEM - With a plan to repair the HVAC system at the aging Haigh Elementary School defeated by voters in March, a special meeting will be held later this month to consider the district's options.
Parents, staff and community members are encouraged to attend the public meeting, which will be held in the Haigh School's all-purpose room on April 30 at 7 p.m.
Members of the Salem School Board will be present to answer questions and brainstorm, Haigh School Principal Christine Honey-Nadeau said on Monday.
Voters at the March 12 polls rejected Article 3, which asked for $895,237 for repairs at Haigh School, but passed Article 2, a $16.2 million bond article for renovations at Fisk, Soule and Haigh schools. In addition to funding new additions at Fisk and Soule Schools, Article 2 allows for a new fire safety sprinkler system, security upgrades and improved lighting at Haigh School, but the question remains as to how the school will address its aging HVAC system that would have been funded via Article 3. The passage of Article 3 was contingent upon Article 2 passing, but the issue of what would happen if Article 2 passed but 3 didn't wasn't addressed, which is why the district is holding the special public meeting.
In 2012, a $21.5 million bond to renovate those three schools was rejected by voters, though the other elementary schools in the district had already undergone renovations similar to the ones being proposed.
A public hearing on Haigh School renovations had initially been scheduled to take place before the March elections, but a snowstorm forced school officials to cancel the meeting.

Deer & Deer Hunting obtained these photos via e-mail and confirmed the story behind them. Nick Schuld, of Medford, Wisconsin, said this buck jumped off a bridge on U.S. Highway 10 near Marshfield, Wisconsin. The incident apparently happened in the first week of December.
Deer & Deer Hunting could not confirm the identity of the individuals in the photos, but the story behind them is legitimate. Lane construction in the area may have confused the buck.

Boehner says fiscal cliff talks make 'no progress'
U.S. Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Friday there has been no progress in negotiations to avert a "fiscal cliff" combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts in January and called on President Barack Obama to produce a new offer.
Four days after House Republicans offered a plan to raise tax revenues and cut spending, Boehner told reporters that the White House has failed to outline its proposal and instead has pushed the nation closer to a fiscal cliff that economists warn could plunge the country into another recession.
The two men also spoke privately by phone on Wednesday.
Boehner described the conversation as pleasant, "but just more of the same."
"Since then, there's been no counteroffer from the White House," Boehner complained.
"Instead, reports indicate that the president has adopted a deliberate strategy to slow-walk our economy right to the edge of the fiscal cliff."
Boehner singled out for criticism White House aides who have said that Obama was willing to allow Bush-era tax cuts to expire on all Americans on Jan. 1 and automatic, across-the-board spending cuts to kick in the next day. He called their comments "reckless talk."
Boehner repeated the long-standing Republican argument that raising tax rates would be detrimental to small businesses and "is not going to help our economy and it's not going to help those seeking work."
Obama has insisted that any deal must include an increase in the tax rates for high earners. But Boehner declined an opportunity to take a hard line on tax rates, skirting a direct question on whether he might be willing to accept some increase in the top tax rate, currently set at 35 per cent.
"There are a lot of things that are possible to put the revenue that the president seeks on the table. But none of it's going to be possible if the president insists on his position — insists on `my way or the highway,'
" Boehner said when asked whether he might be able to accept a compromise top rate of 37 per cent.
"That's not the way to get to an agreement." The Republican leader pointed out that he had offered on Monday to raise tax revenues by $800 billion US over the next decade by ending or reducing tax breaks, particularly on the wealthy.
The Republican plan would cut spending by $1.4 trillion, including by trimming annual increases in Social Security payments and raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67.
"When is he going to take a step toward us?" Boehner asked of Obama.

Outside the 2,000-bed temporary shelter in Baton Rouge's River Center, a Church of Scientology band is performing a version of Bill Withers's classic "Use Me"–a refreshingly honest choice. "If it feels this good getting used," the Scientology singer belts out, "just keep on using me until you use me up."
Ten-year-old Nyler, lying face down on a massage table, has pretty much the same attitude. She is not quite sure why the nice lady in the yellow SCIENTOLOGY VOLUNTEER MINISTER T-shirt wants to rub her back, but "it feels so good," she tells me, so who really cares? I ask Nyler if this is her first massage. "Assist!" hisses the volunteer minister, correcting my Scientology lingo. Nyler shakes her head no; since fleeing New Orleans after a tree fell on her house, she has visited this tent many times, becoming something of an assist-aholic. "I have nerves," she explains in a blissed-out massage voice. "I have what you call nervousness."
Wearing a donated pink T-shirt with an age-inappropriate slogan ("It's the hidden little Tiki spot where the island boys are hot, hot, hot"), Nyler tells me what she is nervous about. "I think New Orleans might not ever get fixed back." "Why not?" I ask, a little surprised to be discussing reconstruction politics with a preteen in pigtails. "Because the people who know how to fix broken houses are all gone."
I don't have the heart to tell Nyler that I suspect she is on to something; that many of the African-American workers from her neighborhood may never be welcomed back to rebuild their city. An hour earlier I had interviewed New Orleans' top corporate lobbyist, Mark Drennen. As president and CEO of Greater New Orleans Inc., Drennen was in an expansive mood, pumped up by signs from Washington that the corporations he represents–everything from Chevron to Liberty Bank to Coca-Cola–were about to receive a package of tax breaks, subsidies and relaxed regulations so generous it would make the job of a lobbyist virtually obsolete.
Listening to Drennen enthuse about the opportunities opened up by the storm, I was struck by his reference to African-Americans in New Orleans as "the minority community." At 67 percent of the population, they are in fact the clear majority, while whites like Drennen make up just 27 percent. It was no doubt a simple verbal slip, but I couldn't help feeling that it was also a glimpse into the desired demographics of the new-and-improved city being imagined by its white elite, one that won't have much room for Nyler or her neighbors who know how to fix houses. "I honestly don't know and I don't think anyone knows how they are going to fit in," Drennen said of the city's unemployed.

WASHINGTON, April 23 (UPI) -- The United States will bolster espionage operations by the military under a reorganization of Pentagon intelligence assets, a source told the Washington Post.
The newspaper, citing a senior defense official, said the new Defense Clandestine Service would work with the CIA to expand their cooperation in overseas spying.
The reorganization was approved last week by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, but has yet to be presented to key members of Congress, some of whom will likely have questions about the need for the realignment.
"My question is why?" said one Senate aide who received a preliminary briefing in the plan. "What's missing and what's going on?"
Defense officials told the Post that what's going on is an increasing convergence of military intelligence and the CIA when it comes to clandestine operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The tighter relationship has also filtered into U.S. espionage activities involving Iran, China and nations involved in terrorism or nuclear proliferation.
The Post's source said the new clandestine service would "make sure officers are in the right locations to pursue those requirements."

Hurricane Sandy brought back many memories of previous hurricanes that I experienced while I was living on the East Coast. I resided in North Carolina for 8 years. While living there I got the pleasure to experience a few minor and major hurricanes. I lived on a military base, in a mobile home, for a majority of the time that I resided in NC. During each storm we were evacuated and had to seek alternative places to stay. Continue reading at…Continue

Dead cat found in backpack in Londonderry pondBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
April 09. 2013 2:03PM
LONDONDERRY - Police are investigating reports of animal cruelty after a local teenager discovered a dead cat inside a backpack that was floating in a pond on Hall Road Monday afternoon.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m. Monday, police interviewed a local teen and his mother after the boy reported he'd found the backpack while walking in a wooded area earlier that day.
Police Officer Daniel Hurley said the backpack, which was partially submerged in a pond about a half mile from a railroad bed, had been filled with rocks and a decomposed white cat.
Hurley said the animal's poor condition and the tattered backpack indicated that both "had been submerged for an extended period of time."
Lt. Tim Jones said that as of now, police have no leads as to how the cat might have gotten there.

FULTON, AR (KSLA) - The search for an Ashdown woman believed to have leapt or been knocked into the Red River early Saturday morning has been suspended until Thursday due to cold weather.
Emergency officials no longer believe 43-year-old Janis Burris-Northcross will be found alive. "We are in recovery," says Miller County Office of Emergency Management Director Larry Pritchett. "I know that is a bad thing to say, but we are in recovery."
Northcross was 1 of the 3 people who found themselves in the path of a skidding 18-wheeler around 2 a.m. Saturday on the Red River bridge, where icy conditions had just caused a 3-car wreck. Her sister managed to stay on the bridge and survived, suffering minor injuries.
51-year-old Ricky Norwood jumped from the bridge to avoid being hit by the jackknifing 18-wheeler, making the 50-foot leap into the chilly waters of the Red River. He says he acted on instinct when he dove over the rail. "I just jumped. That is the first instinct: jump or die, so I jumped."
Norwood says the impact knocked all of his clothes off except for his underwear and socks. "It was so far down there I closed my eyes when I hit the water I didn't know I hit the water until I open my eyes and I was underneath the water. I prayed to the Lord, 'Please let me make it over here,' and I made it to the bank."
Norwood is now recovering at CHRISTUS St. Michael Hospital in Texarkana, with broken ribs and a punctured lung.
Authorities believe Northcross also leapt in that terrifying moment. While Norwood says he didn't see if she leapt or was knocked off the bridge, her family insists she did not jump willingly.
Norwood recalls hearing her call for help, however, after she hit the water. "One time she said,"Help!" but I couldn't get out there."
Family members have expressed concern that the search in the hours immediately following her disappearance was suspended too soon, but Pritchett explains that the dangers of the Red River made searching at night impossible.
That search with boats, sonar and dogs resumed Saturday morning and was again suspended Saturday night until picking up again Sunday morning. Family members took to ATVs to comb the banks. By nightfall, there was still no sign of Northcross, except for a what Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton described as a few of her personal items.
"My prayers go out to the family and I am sorry all this tragedy happened and I appreciate them stopping and trying to help save my husband," says Ricky Norwood's wife, Lillie.
As he recovers, Ricky Norwood struggles to come to terms with his survival, and Northcross' loss. "It hurt me worse that I couldn't help her and they stopped to help me that is What hurt me, because they could have went on and they stopped to help me and look what happened."
Temperatures have remained within a few degrees of 30 since Saturday, with water temperatures in the upper 40s. The search was expected to continue until nightfall on Monday, but Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton says weather conditions forced them to suspend the search earlier.

Hey guys,
Is there a problem with email@example.com? I emailed them and it didn't go through, more than once. Appreciate if anyone with experience can shed light. Thanks!
I've read through all the material on what kind of a team is needed to deploy large numbers in a country. Assuming one had a strong political lead in the country, one would need at least the following info:
How long would it take to process an order of 50,000 laptops from the government? 100,000 laptops? For pickup at factor
The price I assume would remain $100/laptop. Correct?
Is there a maximum number of laptops that can be ordered in one time?
Is there a limit on the number of laptops to be ordered in total?
There is a particular need because of the H1N1 scare and the fact that many students in government schools, the poorest in the nation, have no way of receiving any learning. This is the perfect timing because the government feels a dire need and I really think with the right support we can do something really special.
Happy Holidays

It is possible that the main title of the report Goodpasture Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Goodpasture syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the filtering structures (glomeruli) of the kidneys (glomerulonephritis) and excessive bleeding into the lungs (pulmonary hemorrhaging). Autoimmune syndromes occur when the body's natural defenses (antibodies) against invading or "foreign" organisms begin to attack the body's own tissue, often for unknown reasons. Symptoms of Goodpasture syndrome include recurrent episodes of coughing up of blood (hemoptysis), difficulty breathing (dyspnea), fatigue, chest pain, and/or abnormally low levels of circulating red blood cells (anemia). In many cases, Goodpasture syndrome may result in an inability of the kidneys to process waste products from the blood and excrete them in the urine (acute renal failure). In some cases of Goodpasture syndrome, affected individuals have had an upper respiratory tract infection before the development of the disorder. The exact cause of Goodpasture syndrome is not known.

Capitol Corridor rail study likely to be OK'd by Executive CouncilBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
February 05. 2013 8:59PM
CONCORD - The Executive Council is expected to vote today to begin a $3.66 million study of the viability of commuter rail along the Merrimack River corridor from the Massachusetts border to Concord.
Last year, the council voted 3-2 to turn down federal money that would have been used to pay for the study.
Several councilors came under fire for their opposition to the study, including District 5 Councilor David Wheeler, R-Milford, who was defeated by Debora Pignatelli, D-Nashua, in November. Pignatelli made Wheeler's opposition to the rail project one of the key issues in the race.
The new council likely has four votes in favor of the study, which will look at alternative transit options in what is called the Capitol Corridor.
New councilors Colin Van Ostern, D-Concord, Chris Pappas, D-Manchester, and Pignatelli support the study. Last year, Councilor Raymond Burton, R-Bath, supported the project while Councilor Chris Sununu, R-Newfields, opposed accepting the money.
"The Capitol Corridor rail project is back on track," said Van Ostern last week. "The potential from this project is huge: attracting new workers for growing New Hampshire businesses; speeding tourists, shoppers, and business visitors to our state; lessening traffic on I-93 and Route 3; easing commutes; and amplifying the growth of new Granite State bus routes and the Manchester-Boston Regional airport."
While Nashua and some organizations explored avenues to continue with the study, the efforts never really got off the ground until last month when the Capital Budget Overview Committee approved the analysis of alternative transportation methods for the corridor.
Committee members voted to go forward, noting the study should provide both supporters and opponents of the Capitol Corridor project with information to make their cases.
Federal funds will pay for 89 percent of the study costs, while the state picks up the remainder of the cost through toll credits from the New Hampshire Turnpike System.
The federal government credits the state with toll money that has been spent on the system for such things as maintenance and plowing.
The council meets today at 10 a.m. in Executive Council Chambers in the State House.
