Providing students with opportunities to be involved in independent inquiry is central to the mission of our research University. We aim not just to convey knowledge but to produce it and to teach others how to learn throughout their lives.
Through the generosity of parents, alumni, and friends of the College, an endowed Fund provides grants to assist a student's own research, whether to help with the gathering of data and information, or in the presentation of the results at an academic conference. Selection by a faculty committee is competitive. Since 1996, nearly 3,000 student research projects have been awarded over $2.4 million in research scholarships. For the list of 2016-17 DURF recipients please click here. Students apply to the College; forms and instructions are available online.
Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF)
Application Deadlines for 2017-2018:
- Friday, November 3, 2017, by 11:59pm
- Friday, March 30, 2018, by 11:59pm
Information Session on Summer Research at REUs*:
Research doesn't take a summer vacation! There are always opportunities to get meaningful, hands-on research experience. This information session will focus especially on "Research Experiences for Undergraduates" (REUs). These are summer research programs in STEM funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) where participants—who receive a stipend (!) and housing—receive lab training, attend workshops, and work closely with faculty to complete a research project. Topics of research at REUs run the gamut of disciplines funded by the NSF (e.g., archaeology, behavioral psychology, biology, chemistry, data analytics, mathematics, public health). They are hosted at universities all over the country and attract students from a diverse array of colleges and institutions. So, not only will you gain a meaningful research experience but you'll also expand your professional and academic network!
This session will feature a panel of faculty as well as graduate and undergraduate students who will introduce attendees to the ins and outs of REUs in more depth.
Join us in Jurow Hall (1st floor, Silver Building) on Thursday, October 26, from 5-6PM, to learn more! RSVP here.
Students interested in applying to an REU are also invited to join us the following Thursday, November 2, from 5–6PM in Bobst 743 for an Application Workshop led by faculty from the Writing Center. This hands-on Workshop will be focused on helping potential applicants search for suitable opportunities and thinking about how to tailor their application to particular REU sites.
Note:* Because REUs are funded by the NSF they are only open to US citizens and permanent residents. They also especially welcome applicants from groups underrepresented in STEM.
DURF Drop-Ins:
In order to provide more support to DURF applicants, we are pleased to offer a series of Drop-In sessions where applicants can receive feedback and suggestions for improving their DURF proposal. Staff from the NYU Writing Center as well as peer undergraduate researchers will be on hand to answer questions and provide feedback. Whether this is your first time submitting a DURF proposal, you just have a few questions, or you'd like another perspective, you can benefit from the Drop-In sessions. No appointment necessary! Just stop by and drop in!
Fall Drop-Ins will be held from 5:30–7:30PM:
- Tuesday, October 31, in 194 Mercer, Rm. 205
- Wednesday, November 1, Silver, Rm. 504
Discipline-Specific Sessions Information Sessions:
In conjunction with the Preprofessional Advising Center, we're excited to offer three discipline-specific (STEM, Humanities and Social Sciences) information sessions entitled "Research Roundtable: Exploring the Value and Inner-Workings of Research Projects at NYU." These sessions will focus not only on the short- and long-term academic and professional value of undergraduate research but also on some of the nuts and bolts of finding and funding research opportunities.
Each session will feature current undergraduate researchers as well as a faculty member in order to provide a variety of insights and perspectives. We will discuss ways to obtain and excel in research experiences, and how undergraduate research can prepare you for graduate or professional education. These sessions will be great ways to learn more about research itself, network with peers interested in research and meet faculty!
This series of sessions will be held every spring semester. We will announce the days, times, and participants soon!

There's still a great distance between the somewhat smart car of today and the driverless car of the future.
But the relationship between people and their cars is on a path of evolution as vehicle technology melds more into The Internet of Things.
Over the next decade, the auto industry will be faced with empowered consumers, changing mobility models and a transforming ecosystems, according to a new global study.
Even the meaning of the word driving is expanding beyond steering a vehicle, according to the IBM study, which comprised a survey of 16,000 consumers in the top 16 automotive countries.
The car of the future will know who's in the car, make decision for them and even become a trusted companion.
However, many people driving late model cars realize that much of the in-vehicle technology today is still somewhat complicated and not easy for everyone to use. Much of it is hardly intuitive.
But the study did identify some characteristics of the car of the future.
In a separate survey of 175 global industry executives, IBM research identified six self-enabling innovations that 80% of the execs said would be a key differentiator by 2025.
Consumers were then asked which of the six aspects interested them. Here's the result:
- 59% — Self-healing. Vehicles fix and optimize themselves without human intervention based on certain events or situations. These cars would heal small paint scratches within an hour and deeper scratches within a week.
- 55% — Self-socializing. Vehicles connect with other vehicles and the infrastructure around them to share information and solutions. This could be connecting with traffic lights and then suggesting the optimal speed to reach the light when it's green.
- 54% — Self-learning. Using cognitive capabilities to learn behaviors, such as learning who is in the car and surrounding environment.
- 54% — Self-driving. Cars become highly automated, with some areas of limited autonomous function in controlled environments.
- 51% — Self-configuring. Individual mobility personas contain necessary, driver-authorized digital information about individuals to provide the desired, personalized vehicle experience.
- 49% — Self-integrating. Like other smart devices, the vehicle will be an integrated component of The Internet of Things.
However, not all markets are the same.
For example, in growth markets, such as Russia, China, Thailand and India, 66% of consumers are drawn to self-driving cars. This compares to 41% in mature markets, such as the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Germany.
Despite all the future technology for cars coming, the majority (55%) of consumers today want information services such as weather and traffic delivered in their car.
There's a long road ahead.

Published by Koehler Books on June 26th 2017
Pages: 238
When he is diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition at the age of seventeen, Asa is certain that his adventures have come to an end. He is alone, having been abandoned by parents who never wanted him and a village that couldn't raise him. However, as the bells start to ring, those are the least of his problems. The evil sorcerer Erebus has the land of Eodem under his control. Thrust into a world of distrust and aggression, Asa can rely on just one person: his friend Averett. The wall that divides Eodem seems to be an unobtainable goal, and danger is always one step ahead.
His Frozen Fingertips is a YA novel which explores LGBT themes. It was written by a 15 year old who managed to portray the relationship between Asa and Avery very well, a struggle that many have been through in their lives and very relatable, whether they are LGBT or not. The character building was done well and I felt that I knew the two main characters quite well.
A lot happens very quickly throughout, I would have preferred the novel to be longer as I felt I could have done with more time to explore the world, allowing for more depth in the story to develop. At times perhaps the pace is too fast, however, their misfortune was compelling enough to make you want to read on to find out what happens to Avery and Asa.
The end was bittersweet, which I was happy about as I would have been very disappointed if everything had worked our perfectly and they all lived happily ever after. Overall, I was left with some confusion in regards to the motivation of the main character to undergo this 'adventure', and why he was chosen.
Therefore, despite the fact that I'm giving it 3 stars, I feel that younger readers would enjoy it more, and I encourage you to give it a go if you want a fast fantasy read.
Thanks for reading!

Our health service is being destroyed
If I wasn't in the process of studying for my undergraduate degree, I would seriously consider leaving this miserable country.
The more often I come into contact with the Irish health service, the more annoyed and frustrated I become. Health Minister Mary Harney, in my opinion, has set about destroying the health service.
In Sligo, the general hospital resembles a shell compared with what it once was -- dilapidated wards, beds being closed, staff laid off and cancer services transferred to an over-stretched facility in Galway.

Rock-and-Roll Soap Opera: The Quirky Queue PRIVILEGE Film Review
By Scott David at November 29, 2014 | 3:09 pm | Print
In case you missed it, the summer of 2014 marked the 30th anniversary of the original rock-band mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap. To honor this oft-quoted cult classic, we've delved deep into the past to find another fictional documentary about rock-and-roll. And we're not so proud of it, especially when it yields this month's Quirky Queue result, the British film Privilege. Directed by Peter Watkins, winner of a 1965 Oscar for his short film The War Game, Privilege suffers from just being plain old boring.
The plot is familiar: Steven Shorter (Paul Jones) is an English rock-and-roll god who commands so much adoration and respect from the younger generation that he becomes a tool for agents, producers, A&R men and, eventually, the Church and the government. The quiet, introverted Shorter is plainly irked by his growing role as a puppet for the powers-that-be, but seems unable to stop the trend. Eventually he finds solace in Vanessa Ritchie (Jean Shrimpton, immortalized in this Smithereens song), a portrait artist hired to paint the music idol. She helps Shorter take back his life — but potentially at the cost of his fame and fortune.
Privilege is a very capable and professionally executed film, with a cast and direction that's actually quite good. But everything in Privilege — everything — is overdone. There is way too much narration constantly overstating the obvious, and repetitively forcing the all-too-common theme of a public personality having to sacrifice his private life. Some scenes are commanded with a deftly artistic hand, but seem to go on too long. Interviews with Shorter's managers and entourage could easily be trimmed and the overall presentation is reminiscent of the modern Hollywood trend of spoon-feeding audiences.
The last half-hour of the film almost makes up for the overwrought script as Shorter's tolerance reaches a breaking point at a stadium concert sponsored by the Church, where it's suggested to band members and fans that they give a Hitler salute, and conform to the ideals of God and country. Still, to get there, you have to trudge through 60 minutes of background and set-up that could have easily been squeezed into 20 minutes. This leaves precious little for the central existential conflict with which Steven Shorter wrestles. We've got too much telling and not enough showing.
One bright point in Privilege involves an odd TV commercial in which Shorter is forced to star, helping the government sell a surplus of apples which would otherwise rot, uneaten. And while many of the musical numbers are uninteresting, there is one Brit Rock performance of "Onward Christian Soldiers" that is a taste of ironic fun.
If you read the Quirky Queue, you may know I have a natural affinity for rock-and-roll tales, and we've seen similar ones that are much more bitingly satiric and contain much more inspired music. So skip this moody clunker, and go directly to Wild In The Streets or Phantom of the Paradise instead.

Top 5 Knitting Projects of 2011
My top 5 knitting projects of 2011 are also my ONLY knitting projects of 2011. I didn't finish (or even start) too many things. Also in the picture is the tablecloth quilt I made for my dining room. We use it nearly every day, so I consider it a great success. It's also my first quilt, and I'm proud of it
I'm a tiny bit disappointed there aren't more projects in this picture. On the other hand -- look what I did! The afghan turned out better than I expected. The scarf & mittens are worn. The En Pointe sweater (the rose colored sweater with the twist in front) is one of my favorite sweaters to wear. The whisper cardi has yet to prove itself, but spring will come.
I have two projects on the needles now. The Kelmscott sweater is more than a third of the way finished. And there's another yet to be revealed project in the works.
Happy 2012! Happy knitting, and living, to us all!

One of the joys of wine judging each year at the Santa Cruz Mountains competition, is getting to meet some of area's top restaurant owners and managers. But this year offered something special — Michel and Muriel Loubiére, natives of France, who have just completed negotiations for their own restaurant — Au Midi. After nine months in our area, the couple has acquired the space of the former Al Boccalino, in Aptos, (behind the Aptos Cinema). Muriel, the chef, and is quite passionate about developing a menu that will not be filled with fussy, heavy old-fashioned French clichés. Au Midi, which the Loubiéres expect to open in late September, will showcase the sunny, fresh, intense flavors of the South of France, which means more olive oil, less butter – more seasonal produce and a leaning toward seafoods.
The preview menus included mussels, scallops, duck magret, pistou, quiches, brandade and pissaladiere, as well as sumptuous salads and tarts all involving local specialty produce. This is exciting news and I wish all bon chance to Muriel and Michel!

Explain:1) It is said that energy of food which we eat is derived from the sun's energy. How? 2) Hydro power is the consequence of solar energy. Explain
- print Print

You need to start by photosynthesis process that uses the sunlight, water from soil and carbon dioxide from air to help a plant to grow and to reach maturity.
The sunlight's enrgy is stored in plant as starch and sugar and it is crucial in development process of the plant.
Then, the plant is harvested and either you eat it, or it is given to animals to feed them. In the second case, the animals eat the plant and, in this way, the energy stored in the plant is transfered and stored in the fat or muscle tissues of animals.
Then, if you eat the animal's meat, the energy stored in muscle tissues and fat is transfered to your body. Thus, your body becomes energetic.
While your body makes use of the captured energy, you will exhale carbon dioxide during the respiration process. This carbon dioxide will be used by the plant in the process of photosynthesis and in this way the cycle keeps going on and on.
Energy absorbed by the earth is in the form of thermal energy- heat and light anergy. This is absorbed by plants and used to produce food for plants- ohotosynthesis.
Most of the food eaten by man is from plant. This proves that the food we ewat is majorly as a result of the energy from the sun.

Ehh. She's kinda cute but I dunno, maybe it's the angle, her face looks kinda weird to me, I don't like her eyes much. I'd be open to dating her because she does look pretty but I just think it's the angle. Maybe like 6 or 7?
what do you think of her breasts?
You can barely see them but I think they're probably bigger than I prefer.
She's hot
I don't know who she is
No too manly
@Mydnite her facial structure and makeup style. beauty is in the eye of the beholder
@Mydnite who said manly is not beautiful?
@Mydnite just because something is beautiful doesn't mean I'm attracted to it. She doesn't attract me because I like more girly looking girls.
@Mydnite her eyes aren't so attractive , maybe it's the angle
@Mydnite I care about the fact a lot more than the body but she has a nice body. But I am into men as well so I do find manly things attractive on guys
@Mydnite I can't find masculine women attractive at aaaalllll
I like a cyst type woman
@Mydnite you don't know what cyst means? Wow
@Mydnite you are a cyst female , Caitlin Jenner isn't
@Mydnite you get my point. I never understood why someone attracted to females would be attracted to a dyke
@Mydnite a dyke is a manly lesbian ! A lesbian is a lesbian. There are femmes , lipsticks , Toms, non binary.. you name it
@Mydnite it means a butch
@Mydnite okay then

Bemusings (Bemoanings) Of A Failed Writer
I was talking to one of my students last weekend (I teach adults English in Japan) and he was telling me that he wanted to set up a blog to make some extra money on the side. Knowing that there is no money in writing but wanting to be nice, I chuckled and asked him how he expected to monetize it.
In broken yet understandable English he explained to me that he was going to set up a free blog, get a Google AdSense account and write about whatever topics were most popular at the time. Having had a Google AdSense account at one point (and never making money from it) I wished him luck.
Yesterday the student came back and I asked him how his blog was doing.
"Oh, not bad" he said without looking up from his notes, "I got a few thousand hits the first few days." Continue reading

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6850 1GB Video Card Overclocked
Final Fantasy XIV
Version and / or Patch Used: Standalone Benchmark
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark - Elezen (Male)
Developer Homepage: http://www.square-enix.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/
Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. The game is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game and is developed and published by Square Enix. The game takes place in a land called Hydaelyn, mainly in a region named Eorzea, which will have a contemporaneously aesthetic blend of science fiction and classic fantasy elements.
The battle and job systems will be different from the one previously used in Final Fantasy XI, which utilized experience points and level-based progression. Final Fantasy XIV is being designed to utilize a skill-based progression[15] system similar to that of Final Fantasy II. Character races will resemble and allow players to create avatars similar to ones in Final Fantasy XI. Group play has been de-emphasized, and now solo and group play have been balanced. Weapon use will alter "character development".
Note: Final Fantasy XIV gives us a score and not a normal FPS rating, our understanding is that anything around 2000 points or above is considered playable.
Very strong performance is seen under FF XIV with the overclock. We again see it falls only second to the overclocked HD 6870 which is also at over 1GHz.

Explain two themes in The Crucible.Explain and show evidence about two themes in The Crucible.
- print Print
- list Cite
One theme is individuality versus conformity. A lot of the people in Salem are reluctant to challenge the accusations of witchcraft because the religious fanatics and leaders of the town might accuse them as well. This is a clear case where people succumb to peer pressure, afraid to think reasonably and as individuals. That's why the word "hysteria" is often used to describe the infatuation with the witch allegations in this play. In this case, it means a psychological disorder of uncontrolled emotion, especially by a group of people. The town has become like one psychotic person. Since the majority of those in the town go along with the trials and executions, those individuals who actually speak out against the hysteria are either accused themselves or simply ignored.
It has been widely discussed that The Crucible is an analogy for the hysteria of McCarthyism which occurred during Miller's life. Senator McCarthy conducted a political witch hunt when he assumed the authority to collect and interrogate people he suspected of having communist ties or sympathies. This occurred during the early years of the Cold War, a time of growing mistrust between the United States and Russia, and a time when there was general fear of the possibility of nuclear war. There was good reason for this concern but McCarthy used this fear to justify his interrogations. Similarly, Danforth and others used fear of God and their own legal authority to execute in order to justify their witch hunt. So, another theme is the irresponsible use of power.

In an attempt to boost athletic competitiveness with peer districts, the Rogers School Board in Northwest Arkansas has expanded its initiative to incorporate sports into the school day, as reported by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. After deciding last year to make eighth grade football, basketball, and volleyball part of the regular school day schedule, the board has now voted to add cross-country, track, cheer, and dance to this list. The decision will take effect at the start of the 2017-2018 school year.
While the move is aimed at improving eighth grade athletics, there are a number of challenges to making it work. With the last period of the day now being dedicated to these sports, 16 teachers will need to have their last period cleared if they are to continue coaching. Five of those teachers work in schools other than the middle school where they coach, making it difficult to find replacements for them when they're coaching.
"We'll work with the middle school principals to see what changes have to be made and who will have to pick up different classes," said Superintendent Marlin Berry. "I think we're going to have to have some discussion with a couple of those coaches who are in other buildings to confirm and see what that impact is."
Rogers' middle schools are structured so that the same groups of teachers handle the same groups of students. This is great for the students and helps a big school feel smaller, but presents further challenges for teachers who also coach. In total, the estimated cost of covering the classes those teachers otherwise would teach is $170,000 for next school year. Board members and administrators will continue to discuss the plan and try to figure out how to make it work for everyone.
Yet, after being successfully implemented this school year, people continue to express support for the initiative. Board members say they are addressing widespread concerns among parents that the district isn't keeping up with other schools in athletics. Coaches have also expressed their support.
"We're lifting three times a week," said Kirksey Middle School Head Football Coach Anderson said. "Our kids are stronger now than they've ever been."
In 2008, the district decided to eliminate all junior high schools and put all sixth- through eighth-graders in middle schools. This school year is the first that athletics has been part of the school day for eighth graders, and administrators have also suggested moving eligible seventh-graders into the last-period coaching time, which could allow for full-squad participation and eliminate the need for additional personnel costs. Yet, under that plan seventh-graders would be forced to give up an elective such as band or orchestra in order to play their sport of choice.
That is why Curtis Clements, board vice president, argued in favor of limiting the athletics move to the eighth grade. Clements hopes to improve athletics but wants to continue providing students with as many opportunities as possible.
"The thing I like about our middle schools is it allows our students to try different things," Clements said.

I never wear it and I got it in mid July. The allure of this bag for me has been tainted by so many fakes of it. I feel so ashamed for feeling this way! Anyone else feel this way about the large chain horsebit hobo, or another Gucci bag that is heavily faked? I couldn't tell you why I care but I do! I wish I didn't, I still spent a ton of money on this bag that I do still love but that I never wear. I can't seem to be able to carry it with confidence!

What were the consequences and causes of World War II?I really need help and don't be afraid to add refrences, please.
- print Print
- list Cite
This is a complex question worthy of a lengthy answer, but this is a short summary.
Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 is usually considered the beginning of the war. France and Great Britain declared war against Germany soon thereafter, knowing that Adolf Hitler's intent was to conquer the entire European continent and the British Isles. Italy, Germany's main European ally, had already captured Ethiopia; Hitler's successful invasions of Austria and Czechoslavakia caused many of the other European nations to sign agreements with Germany, nearly all of which Germany later broke. Germany allied itself with Russia for a short time, before invading the huge country in 1941. Japan, who was at war with China and hoped to control most of the Pacific, allied itself with Germany that same year. Hitler's armies captured nearly all of Europe, leaving the British to fight the German Axis alone. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in December 1941, the United States entered the war.
The consequences of the war were great: Nearly 75 million people died between 1937-1945. The victorious Allies lost at least 16 million dead, while the Axis nations lost at least eight million. It is estimated that nearly 50 million civilians died during the conflict, including six million Jews systematically exterminated in what became known as the Holocaust. The United States emerged as the richest and most powerful nation in the world, while Russia added new lands following the surrender. Germany and Japan, despite being decisively defeated by the Allied powers, soon rebuilt their economies, becoming among the wealthiest nations on the planet.

Low on interest
It has now become an annual ritual for the finance minister to usher in the budget season by meeting various groups of people � economists, newspaper editors, representatives of the corporate sector � and seek their opinions on budget priorities. There was always a sneaking feeling that these meetings are essentially a public relations exercise since the actual budget seems to contain very few of the suggestions or ideas thrown up at these discussions. This year may have been an exception since one of the main requests of the corporate sector was a reduction in the interest rate structure. The government has just taken a first and important step in this direction by reducing the rate of interest on provident fund and other small savings schemes such as the National Savings Scheme and Kisan Vikas Patra. The government has also lowered the interest rate on loans to state governments given against small savings. The reduction in interest rates on provident fund and other small savings will attract some political flak from opposition parties which will accuse the government of betraying the older generation as well as the middle income group who have invested in these schemes. But, these criticisms do not really have much merit. As finance ministry officials have been quick to point out, this is the first revision of provident fund interest rates since 1978.
Interest rates on small savings have also not been revised for a long time. During this period, the economy has moved to a considerably different inflation regime, with the rate of inflation being a mere five per cent. So, despite the cut in the nominal rate of interest, the real rate of return on investments in small savings schemes and provident fund remain as high as they have ever been. The benefits of a lower interest rate structure are also quite apparent. The immediate impact will be an annual savings of Rs 1000 crore in interest payments. This is no small amount for a government that is struggling to make ends meet. The second round or indirect benefits are likely to be quite substantial. The current reduction in interest rates on provident fund and small savings may simply be the prelude to a general lowering of all interest rates. After all, this was the original demand of the corporate sector. A lower interest rate structure obviously benefits the industrial sector since it reduces their cost of borrowing. There is some substance in the charge that the real cost of borrowing had become much too high because interest rates were refusing to follow the southward march of the inflation rate. Thus, there is a sense in which a lower nominal rate of interest will simply restore the status quo. Of course, this may prove to be the catalyst required to move Indian industry on to a higher growth path. All indices of business confidence indicate that industry is poised to take off, and only a small push is all that is required.
It must also be kept in mind that the government is the largest borrower in the country. So, a lower interest rate structure also brings tremendous benefits to the government in the form of lower interest payments. Finally, this will also provide fresh encouragement to the bulls in the stock markets. The lower interest rates on small savings will lead to greater investment in mutual funds which will subsequently channel these fresh inflows into the stock markets.
Rough justice
On January 13, 10 supposed members of an extortionist gang and their abetters were hounded out, each tied to a tree and beaten to death in the Sonarpur subdivision of South 24 Parganas in West Bengal. It was given out that the lynch mob consisted of local residents enraged into spontaneous retaliation by the gang�s long criminal history in this area and by the failure of the police to curb this criminality. It remains beyond dispute that the police have failed � in a manner now disgracefully familiar in Calcutta and its suburbs � to deal with the criminals and with those who decided to take the law in their hands against them. The home (police) and deputy chief minister, Mr Buddhadev Bhattacharya, being away hardly makes a difference, since he has come to embody the chronic ineffectualities of the institution primarily responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the state. His physical absence and presence practically amount to the same thing.
What is deeply alarming about the incident is the twofold agency of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in the killings, and later, in the party�s projection of it as an act of the people, to be celebrated as a �mass awakening against crime�. First, it has now definitively come to light that this was not a spontaneous uprising, but a carefully planned operation by some district level CPI(M) leaders, admittedly against genuinely disruptive criminals, but involving the passive cooperation of the police and the active deployment of a large band of armed criminals. The police was instructed by these party leaders not to intervene, just as the locals were asked to remain indoors throughout the day long operation. Second, it is profoundly disturbing to note that even as the politburo debates the nature and significance of democracy in its ideology, some of the dissidents calling for modernization and transparency in the party are extolling this instance of benighted brutality and deceit as a triumph of democratic self-empowerment. Mr Samir Putatunda, a prominent rebel, has demanded the �dictatorship of the people� from the politburo. The Sonarpur lynchings � for which Mr Putatunda and his comrades have publicly congratulated the supposedly �awakened� public � reveal the darkest face of this dictatorship.
Most countries elect both their first and second chambers. British governments have successively avoided electing the latter because prime ministers find it convenient not to be overruled by a modernized second chamber which, once elected, would have as much legitimacy in the eyes of the public as the Commons. The irony was that no government was prepared to reform the Lords because that would lend it legitimacy and give it influence. The hereditary element kept it weak, just as it keeps the monarchy weak.
Lloyd George had passed the Parliament Act as long ago as 1911 which prevented the Lords from being able to block government legislation initiated in the Commons. As a result the Commons held full sway, the authority of the prime minister was the stronger and radical legislation could be easily steered through parliament.
But increasingly, the view gained ground that it was unacceptable for an old guard of landed nobs, as they were caricatured, to be having any say on government legislation. Much was made of the dawn of the 21st century and how this made it imperative to modernize. The reform became a key plank of New Labour�s modernizing binge.
Tony Blair eventually took the gamble and abolished the �hereditaries� in November 1999. Because Blair has had less to do in terms of reorganizing the economy, being in many respects a reconstructed Thatcherite, he has performed a number of token measures to assuage the left wing of his party, in order to make them still feel left-wing. The bill to ban fox-hunting, the arrest of general Pinochet and the reform of the House of Lords were all �designer� policies. Blair has been generally keen to take action which, in his own words, �is not merely fair, but which is seen to be fair�. (It is sometimes said that he emphasises the latter over the former.)
But the government has so far got round the problem of how to replace the hereditaries by not deciding how to replace them. They have banished the hereditaries but kept on the so-called �life peers�, a category begun in the 1950s which ennobled you for your life but did not allow you to pass the title on to your descendants � a kind of non-contagious ennoblement.
The current arrangements are what the government calls a �transitional house�. In a bizarre move, 92 hereditary peers were allowed to stay on for the transitional stage partly as a compromise with the Conservatives: the 92 were elected by the 750 former hereditaries. A royal commission has been appointed to sort out how the upper chamber might look.
Some wryly comment that the transitional house will stay put because no one will agree on how the House of Lords should be composed. For the time being, the lords are left with the odd conundrum that the only elected peers are the hereditaries. That gives them kudos.
The life peers � the �day boys� as they were dubbed by the hereditaries � were allowed to continue since they had supposedly got there on their own merit. But life peers are all appointed by the prime ministers of their day. They range from the law lords and the bishops to former cabinet ministers and politicians, writers, academics and others at the top of their professions from hospital administrators to military officials. They are hand-picked from amongst the friends, and the friends of friends of the prime minister.
The dominance of these people in the upper chamber means that it is now merely an appointed chamber. There are many admirable people amongst them. But there are also placemen chosen through the unedifying channels of political patronage. As the Sun puts it, they are �Tony�s cronies�.
The paradox about the hereditaries was that they were the antithesis of the the ambitious social climber prepared to do anything to get ahead on the slippery slope to political advancement. They were often independent-minded; some were highly intelligent; others were thoroughly stupid. They came from diverse backgrounds: they were certainly not all landed, nor necessarily nobbish or snobbish. They were a mixed bag. A lottery even. Ironically enough they introduced an independent strain and a maverick character to the parliamentary process because they had not bent over backwards to get there.
A greater paradox is that Blair appointed Baroness Jay to steer the controversial bill through the Lords itself. Baroness Jay herself is a fine example of the survival of the hereditary principle. Though a life peer, she is the daughter of the former prime minister, James Callaghan, and was ennobled by Tony Blair. There can be little doubt that she got to her position using the influence of her father. The inconsistency was not lost on the opposition who often mockingly drew attention to Jay�s parentage.
Others complained that the way the hereditaries were dispensed with was done with a shocking lack of graciousness. The Labour front bench in the Lords, headed by Jay, were rude and blunt. Perhaps this was explained by their sheer determination to push the bill through parliament, in view of the impasse that other attempts had met with.
At all events, the tall, blond Baroness Jay became known as the �wicked witch� for her cold, supercilious manner; she sloped around the corridors of the Lords at a measured pace striking fear into the Conservative ranks. The impeccably cordial atmosphere at the House � famously contrasting with the raucous House of Commons � was disrupted, and a mood of distrust and animosity settled on the place.
New Labour has now appointed more life peers in the first two and a half years of its rule than any other government in the 20th century. The place is now heaving with new peers who are bewildered by the rituals which still prevail in the gilded halls. Many were seen to snigger during solemn moments.
Others occasionally wear training shoes into the chamber � and get away with it. But the elaborate manners of the doormen in their unchanged uniforms and breeches insist on certain elements of continuity. And the ceremonies of the place are famously enthralling � and contagiously so.
Those who start off cynical become proud of the place very quickly. There were many Labour peeresses in tiaras at the opening of parliament, and Baroness Jay was seen conversing merrily with the arch hereditary, the Duke of Norfolk, and seemed mesmerised by the flummery of the Yeomen of the Guard.
The new peers, the majority of whom are Labour, are a very different breed to the old. There are television presenters, like Lord Bragg (who presents the South Bank show on ITV), and Lord Birt (the former director of the BBC) as well as representatives of trades unions and non-governmental organizations. Although the government insists this is a transitional house, they do, in some ways, befit the New Britain of New Labour. The writer Anthony Sampson wrote recently that the British establishment has changed fundamentally since he wrote his famous analysis of the ruling elite in Britain back in the 1960s.
Writing in the Independent, he said that �the TV networks have taken over from the country houses as the centre of communications and social ambition�. It is only a short distance to the celebrity politics of the United States. The Baronesses Spice (of the Spice Girls) are waiting in the wings. It is now the Conservative peers who are pressing for a more fully elected House of Lords.
Dry land ahead
Sir � It is amazing how they always manage to get away (�Jaya survives do-or-die case�, Jan 14). Politicians seem to have the most incredible luck. And J. Jayalalitha, ruling the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam roost with fanfare almost ever since the death of her mentor, M.G. Ramachandran, has more luck than most. Assuming that the institutions of the country are all interested in punishing the abuse of power, the layman cannot help asking, what gives? Here we have the spectacle of the AIADMK leader going overboard to stall the hearing of the Tansi land scandal case, obviously because she is scared. We also hear that it is the most �watertight� case against her. And then, there is the predictable whimper and the case fizzles out because of lack of evidence. So either somebody in a responsible position has been talking too much, eager to see the politician behind bars, or the whole thing is a farce to make the people believe that everyone�s bustling about trying to clean up the polity. Take your pick.
Right down under
Sir � The Australians have shown exactly why they are the world champions in cricket. After defeating the Pakistanis, they thrashed the Indians three-nil. They were in the driver�s seat right from the first day of the first test match. Sachin Tendulkar�s man of the series award is of little consolation, but it does recognizes the one man who restored the last vestiges of consistency in the team�s performance. But will this disaster knock some sense of responsibility into the selectors and cricketers?
Sir � Politicking has let Indian cricket down in Australia. Both the captain, Sachin Tendulkar, and the coach, Kapil Dev, have excelled in it, especially off the field in matters of selection. This is amply evident in the way Nayan Mongia was flown to Australia and then unceremoniously sent back as Samir Dighe was rushed there. About Dighe�s performance subsequently, the less said the better.
There must be an inquiry into the entire selection procedure for the Australian tour and especially into the Mongia-Dighe episode. And if certain people are under the impression that their credentials allow them to behave like extra-constitutional authorities, let such heads roll, for India cannot perform any worse without them.
Sir � It is quite clear now that Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar were the men responsible for the exclusion of Mohammed Azharuddin from the tri-series squad. Azharuddin�s records speak for him. In spite of the hard times he has been through recently, he deserves another chance. Kapil Dev has enough experience behind him to know that politics has no place in cricket.
Sir � The Indian cricket team has made a fool of itself by letting Australia deal out loss after humiliating loss to it in the test series. The main reason for this, as in many previous occasions, was the failure of batsmen. Sadagoppan Ramesh and Devang Gandhi failed to do well as openers. V.V.S. Laxman was the only exception in the third test. The middle order, with Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and others lacked sting. The absence of an experienced batsman like Mohammed Azharuddin was felt a number of times.
Sachin Tendulkar emerged as the sole consistent element in the team. But one Tendulkar cannot make up for the single digit scores by the rest. The entire team must perform or at least give the impression that it is trying to.
Sir � In the recently concluded test series that India lost to Australia, the Indians� ability to play on foreign pitches was seriously questioned, but not the impartiality of the Australian umpires and of the Australian cricket board. If Venkatesh Prasad�s exultation after getting a wicket invited punishment, then why didn�t Glenn McGrath�s, after he dismissed Sachin Tendulkar?
Another glaring instance of such bias was the questioning of the action of the Pakistani fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar, while letting the Australian, Brett Lee, get away with suspect action. Several valid appeals by Indian bowlers were ignored while Tendulkar was given out on dubious grounds more than once. If there is more of this in future, cricket�s last days are truly near.
Sir � The manner in which India received a drubbing in the hands of the Australians in the test series is indeed shameful. Although the umpiring left a lot to be desired, the Indians lacked proper application. Indian batsmen are used to playing under very different conditions at home, namely slow spinning tracks. Fast and bouncy pitches become nightmares for them away from home. The players must get accustomed to hard, bouncy pitches which will also prove the true worth of the spinners.The Board for Control of Cricket in India needs to think about this.
Dance out of step
Sir � The report, �State as keeper of public morality� (Jan 6), reminds one that there was a time when cabarets were very popular in the city of Calcutta. Many theatres in the city used to incorporate one or two cabarets in their productions. Sometimes, however, they were found to transgress the limits of decency. In the last couple of decades, the line delineating vulgarity has become so thin that it is difficult to be sure what must be condemned as vulgar, especially in the tinsel world of films and in the world of advertising. In both of these, experiments are being regularly conducted, even with the use of nudity.
Under these circumstances, whether we want it or not, cabaret is all set to make a comeback in the near future.
Sir � There is no doubt that dances like cabaret go against the culture and tradition of India. But an effort may be made to restore cabaret to its original form. In its beginnings the dance form emphasised grace and elegance rather than vulgarity. Cabaret artists can be trained to entertain their viewers with elegance. Once they are so trained, the government should have no problems in allowing cabaret entertainment in restaurants and nightclubs.
Sir � Cabaret presents women as sex objects (�State as keeper of public morality�, January 6). This is clear from the reaction of the viewers watching the performance. It is a perversion that must not be encouraged. Just as the public cannot be granted the liberty to choose drugs, similarly they cannot be given liberty in the case of cabaret.
Sir � Have we, after all this time, suddenly become halfwits so we can�t watch a cabaret without being corrupted? What�s the fuss about?

Hull KR coach Chris Chester was critical of his side's second-half performance but happy to savour the moment after they hung on for a 32-26 win over Catalans Dragons to secure their first Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-final as a Super League club.
Rovers made a dream start, racing into a 24-0 lead inside 28 minutes thanks to tries from Ken Sio, Kieran Dixon, Albert Kelly and Graeme Horne, but the visitors were transformed after the break with recent signing Krisnan Inu scoring two of their five tries.
"It was a very dominant first half," Chester said. "We were very good defensively, put them under a lot of pressure and they came up with mistakes.
"We tried to take some juice out of them early doors and got some joy with it and scored some good tries.
"We went away from that in the second half and let a good Catalans side back into the game.
"We were very sloppy in the second half. Our execution was pretty poor, passes were going to ground and our first contact wasn't great.
"The penalty count was 9-3 in the second half and we put ourselves under a lot of pressure. We know how good Catalans are, they've got strike players who cause us lot of problems.
"But the main thing is we're in the semi-finals. Let's enjoy this moment, it was a great performance from the boys."
Hull KR, whose last semi-final appearance was in 2006, are still battling to climb out of the bottom four in Super League and Chester is already looking ahead to next Tuesday's re-arranged home game against Salford.
"I've got a lot of upset people who have been left out tonight but in the bigger picture, we've got a Super League campaign to focus on," he said.
"The Challenge Cup is a priority for me, it's been long time since the club have been in a semi-final, but we've got to make sure we back up Tuesday. We don't want to lose touch with those teams around us."
The Dragons now have only the league to concentrate on and coach Laurent Frayssinous was philosophical after watching his side leave themselves with too much to do after making a dreadful start.
"It was too hard to come back from conceding 26 points but I'm pretty proud that the boys had a dig and tried to stay alive in this competition," Frayssinous said.
"Our Challenge Cup is over, what we have to do now is make sure we finish in the top eight or the top six."
Frayssinous watched most of the match from the touchline after storming down from his seat in the stand during Rovers' early onslaught but, after twice being fined for publicly criticising officials so far this season, disguised his comments about referee Phil Bentham.
"You have your own opinions," he said. "I have already spent too much money. I still don't understand some stuff.
"I was angry at someone. There were some poor things on the field from a lot of people."

Yesterday Domain Investing had a post asking the question "What is the floor price for an LL.com?" The answer came in a comment from the person that probably knows more about LL.coms than anyone in the world lately, Andrew Rosener. His comment is worthy of it's own post. Here is Andrew's comment
Media Options is in a unique position unlike any other brokerage firm in the industry in that we have focused on short domains (2 and 3 letter .com primarily) since our inception, not only for brokerage but also for our owner operated portfolio. One could say, "we put our money where our mouth is". In total we have bought, sold and/or brokered around 30 LL.com domains and several hundred LLL.com domains. We still currently own three LL.com domains and ultimately I wish we'd never sold any (hind sight is always 20/20), all of which receive daily offers, primarily from the Chinese investor community as of late.
LL.com domains have seen unprecedented value growth in the last 18 months. The true wholesale floor value has escalated from $125,000 about 18 months ago to around $350,000 today. I know of one LL.com in the market currently at $275,000 – however, this one has been on the market and shopped around extensively and there doesn't appear to be much demand for this letter combination. I suspect most investors evaluate these combinations on the potential number of large end users (over $100 million market cap) who could be seen as acquirers in the future, for which that particular letter combination doesn't have many. Outside of this, there are maybe only a couple at $300k – $350k (2 or 3 I'd say – all of lower quality and lesser used letter combinations). Beyond that all are $450k plus.
On the flip side (the buy side), I can say with experience that the investors are regularly offering between $350,000 – $500,000 at the wholesale level (almost daily), with offers varying in that range relative to the letter combinations it seems. So the liquid value is in that range depending on the particular letters.
WI.com (the State abbreviation for Wisconsin) which we are brokering on behalf of MasterLock, currently has several offers between $350,000 – $425,000. However, we will continue our efforts to find an appropriate end user before considering a sale to an investor – per our mandate from our client. Although all offers are welcome as always!
Itis my opinion, much like Dave, that all of the remaining LL.com domains have a true intrinsic value in the seven or even eight figures and with each new sale and further decrease in supply, the value increases incrementaly. But in an illiquid market like domain names, only time and patience will allow those remaining domains (or the market really) to mature and achieve such value. For varying reasons, investors, including us, sell these assets below their true value in order to raise capital or take advantage of other opportunities. These sales are the ones which set the floor.
For an endless number of reasons which I've documented on our own blog, I believe that 2 Letter domain names are one of the most under-appreciated and under-valued assets today. If there were a single class of domain name which I were most confident in the future value appreciation of, it would most certainly be two letter .com domains – even more so than 2 number .com domains, despite their being even more scarce, simply because the letters have a more global appeal and reach and numbers are primarily focused and value based in China and other Asian markets. If the Chinese economy tanks, so does demand for 2 number or numeric domains in general. Although due to the incredible scarcity of those domains like 50.com which we are also selling, it is also highly unlikely that the values will decrease any time soon and only continue their incredible value growth over the coming months and years.
LL.com domains are truly unique tools, assets & investment vehicles that are unmatched, particularly in the world of domain names. It seems the world is starting to take notice of this value discrepancy and for this very reason the Chinese among others, in an effort to find a place to invest their money in assets, particularly foreign, have driven up the values so quickly over the last 18 months in a race to get their hands on these scarce commodities. But because of the scarcity and lack of leverage, I don't think we'll see any downward pressure on these values any time soon – if ever. I think quite the opposite. I think within 6-12 months you'll see a $500k floor value on any LL.com at the wholesale level.

Dubrovnik has good restaurants, but also its share of bland and overpriced ones. We've tried to pick out the ones we feel are most worth visiting, be it for the cooking, the surroundings or value for money.
Most restaurants offer rather similar fare: a seafood based menu with a few meats from the grill. When the food is fresh and well prepared, however, simplicity is not a bad thing.
At Terra Madre 2012, Slow Food Dubrovnik successfully presented the products by its members from the Dubrovnik-Neretva County at tastings: Pelješac wine (plavac mali Križ by the Pelješac wine maker Denis Bogoević), and Korčula's olive oil (oil Torkul by the olive maker Fanita Žuvela). Whilst Dubrovnik's marmalade made of bitter oranges was chosen for this year's documentary on Terra Madre's network of producers. Congratulations!

Zidane under fire
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Zidane is one the most talented and celebrated players in world football, but composed defender Alfaro (pictured) feels another side of the Frenchman`s game needs highlighting.
"There are things that cross my mind," Alfaro said in reference to Zidane. "Some I can say, others I cannot.
"Zidane has a special ability, aside from being a most wonderful player, he does not receive lemon caramels."
Alfaro feels Zidane`s acts of aggression go unpunished by officials, more so than other less coveted players in La Liga.
Zidane, though, hit back on Friday by claiming the high-profile incidents were spotted but the referees chose not to punish him.
"It is true that in the game against Celta I could have been given a yellow card," the French maestro said: "But my actions were seen and I am glad I did not get a card as it means I am not facing suspension."


text: I am sunil from mysore doing M.tech. I bought Punto emotion 90 hp (vocal white-metallic color) nearly a month back in exchange for my 49 year old ambassador. This punto is for my dad and me as he could not use the ambassador because of the tight steering. Ambassador was like a family and hence, I wanted a car with a character to replace it, which is subtle and not a high showoff. Had a tough time deciding between Swift and punto. My brain wanted the swift but my heart was always towards punto. Listened to my heart, convinced my dad and I am damn happy that I made a right choice in buying this. Did a 1200 km trip just after 2 weeks of purchasing as I was damn confident about the fiat engine. I never get tired of reading about automobiles and i am a huge DIY freak. I own a Yamaha R15 which is 3 yrs old and have never given it to service as i prefer to do it myself. That how much crazy I am about DIY and automobiles. I follow road safety very much and I always wear a seat belt . That's just about me. Love to be a member of this great forum. Happy driving everyone..
