We are all familiar with such remarks as, "He's studying philosophy: he's not interested in a job!" This is far from true about our majors and minors. While few of them are interested in becoming professional philosophers who teach at universities, the vast majority of them understand how useful the study of philosophy can be for virtually any career. Many of our majors and minors are pre-law students interested in developing powers of argumentation that are so important in the lawyer's work with juries and judges. Philosophy majors have successfully pursued graduate studies in Medicine, Dentistry, Business, Literature, Mathematics, Computer Science, Anthropology, Political Science, Counseling, Sociology, and in the Seminary. Philosophy majors do very well on standardized graduate and professional admissions exams, scoring well above average on the LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. Philosophy graduates pursue careers in business, journalism, psychology, art, politics, consulting, marketing, or teaching - the list goes on. In each case the student realizes that the successful lawyer, business person, or physician is the good thinker, and that it is the Philosophy Department where the focus is on good thinking.
One area in which there is increasing demand for the skills and knowledge nurtured by the study of philosophy is Applied Philosophy and Ethics. Recent scandals and problems in business and government have highlighted the important role of ethics in corporate and public life. Advances in medical practice and research have created a growing need for medical and research ethicists who might work directly with genetic researchers, or assist patients and care-givers in morally difficult situations. The challenge of global climate change, and its implications for all areas of our lives has raised the awareness of, and need for, philosophical and ethical reflection on environmental concerns.
Taking this into account, the question might be, "Why wouldn't all students want to add the study of philosophy- as a major or minor- to their career plans?" Recognizing that students with very different goals and interests may be minoring in philosophy, the department requires no specific courses of its minors- only 18 hours in philosophy.
Philosophers Find the Degree Pays Off in Life And in Work
In a New Generation of College Students, Many Opt for the Life Examined
Yes, it does, both in and outside the classroom. Small classes conducive to the students' participation in the study of questions about the nature of morality, God, the universe, art, law, and knowledge are offered by members of the Philosophy faculty. In addition, the department is very much concerned about its students' welfare outside the classroom.
The department established on campus a chapter of the national honor society in philosophy, Phi Sigma Tau. And our students are always welcome and encouraged to spend time with us in the department where they may converse with faculty members and fellow students or read one of the many philosophical journals in the department library. Furthermore, the department sponsors movie nights, an ethics bowl, and hosts its own dialogue series with various speakers, including faculty and students from all over the university.
All member of the philosophy faculty have a deep commitment to teaching the exciting ideas and useful critical methods in the field of philosophy. Texas State Philosophy Faculty have special interests in the nature of knowledge, God, reality, or morality; others specialize in political and legal philosophy, philosophy of art, of mind, of human experience, or of language. The department offers courses in each of these areas and we have newly developed courses in Environmental Ethics, Philosophy of Sport, and Philosophy of Technology. Grounded in a core group of courses, students have considerable flexibility in selecting from among our upper-level courses to complete a bachelor of arts with a major in philosophy.
As authors of articles, essays, and books, members of the faculty are active in creating new philosophical knowledge. Their activities have led them to serve as officers of regional, national, and international philosophical societies and to hold such positions in the community as municipal court judge, caretaker of the University Camp, and advisor to a radio station, to name a few. In this department, students can look to the faculty for good role models for developing as good thinkers and citizens.
Students may obtain more information by contacting or visiting the Department of Philosophy.

The Mets finally did something substantive, if what Mike Francesa's slinging on WFAN is correct. They've come to an agreement with Jason Bay, which should be announced next week. Mike didn't give any contract specifics, ok, but you would have to figure it's in the ballpark of the $65M offer the team submitted earlier this month.
Given the Mets habit of bidding against themselves, let's call this a four year, $68M contract agreement. Assuming the value of a win on the open market is between $4M and $4.5M, Bay would have to be worth about 4 wins above replacement per season to make this a fair deal for the Mets. This is no certainty considering his poor defense in left field, though the magnitude is very much up for debate.
Bay hit for a .397 wOBA with the Red Sox last season. That ranked him sixth among all American League hitters. While we should never lose sight of defense and positional scarcity, you can't deny that this is one of the very best hitters in baseball. At 32 (next season), he's past his physical peak, but young enough to be nearly as productive.
Is this the most efficient use of resources by the Mets? Definitely not given the many holes on the roster yet to be filled; but the team has added a legitimately good player to their mix.

13-Year-Old Has Full-Sleeve Tat!
momlogic's Vivian: Photos surfaced all around the blogosphere, like right here on BuzzFeed, of a 13-year-old Russian kid with a full-sleeve tattoo! Check it!
Mind you, the kid's dad is a tattoo artist.
As a tattooed mom, I happen to be of the opinion that 13 is still WAY young for a single tat, let alone a full sleeve. First of all, the kid is still growing, and there's a good chance his tats will get distorted when he reaches his full height. Second, I got an ankle tattoo in my early 20s that I still regret, but I believe I was old enough to make that choice and live with the consequences. That said, I think the legal age of 18 for tattoos here in the U.S. is fair, even though I believe that 18 is barely old enough to make a decision you can live with for a lifetime.
Most tattoo studios are rather fastidious about laws concerning age and hygiene. However, there's always someone ready to break the law, for whatever reason. Just a few years back, an Indiana tattoo artist was put behind bars for tattooing a 4-year-old! Now that's just plain old sadistic!
What do you guys think? When it comes to getting tattooed, how old should the legal age be? And can you imagine how challenging it would be for our teenaged girls to come up with a tasteful option for masking their "Bieber Forever" tats?
To each his own BUT I feel that tattooing is like cosmetic surgery and thus should be delayed until the child is fully grown (usually 18-20). Disclaimer: I had both a tattoo and rhinoplasty at the age of 17. Like the author I regret the tattoo.
This case is a tough one because the child clearly likes his tattoos and obviously there was parental consent but I wonder if it's his taste or his dads….I personally wouldn't make that choice for my child nor allow him to at such a young age but we make cosmetic/medical decisions for our kids all the time: pierced ears and circumcision to name a few. Of course these are more socially excerpted and not really blog worthy but really, what is the difference?
how did "accepted" turn into "excerpted"? Better get some more coffee…!!!
Oh come on. Is that really tats - or just practice sharpie work by the dad -or the kid.
If the dad really is a tattoo artist, then he knows full well that his son's growth over the next few years will likely completely distort his current body art. I am really hoping this is a gag. I love tats and have some myself, but I think it is something that definitely needs to be put off until adulthood.
Well being that this is Russia I just kind of have to shake my head and say well at least he isn't drowning puppies. If any of our children come home with a tattoo as a minor it will be removed via laser at no cost to them. Our children will be well aware of this so I hope it is a deterrent.
I just had to comment. I agree this shouldn't be a choice a person under 18 should be able to make. They shouldn't be able to get one under 18 at all. I don't think they know how this will effect their lives.
I also want to comment on the last comment by KS. I agree with you only difference is not only will it be removed but it will be at a cost to them. They at some point will be told not to get one and when they do it anyway they will pay to have it removed.
Absolutely repulsive. This child should be taken out and the parents charged with child abuse! There is no way he is going to want those 10 years from now.
I got my first tattoo when I was going on 13 yrs old, I dont regret getting a tattoo, i just think that I would have gotten something different had I waited til I was older. I am now wanting to get it covered up. When I have kids, I don't think I would tell them the age of when I got my first tattoo, I would want them to wait til they are older, so they dont regret what they get.
I hate tattoo's. I think they look awful at any age. To each his/her own …but that kids looks silly!
The kid is a good looking kid … so honestly, now that I think about it … tattoo or no tattoo, this kid is going to be fine. He's just cute! I'm kind of going with the tattoo's now and normally they gross me out. I guess it is his heart that matters, not his outward appearance. If he likes the tattoo, then be it. Let it shine.
It's plain and simple CHILD ABUSE!!!!
I love reading the judgement oozing from these holier than thou commenters.
I would not want my 13 year old to have tattoos but I'm me. I don't butt into other people's lives.
I do like the idea of telling your kids if they get a tattoo as a minor that it will be lazered off. That would have made me think a bit.
Most of my friends are very successful and we ALL have tattoos. Having one doesn't mean you are dirty, unrespectable or uneducated. In my group of friends, quite the opposite actually.
I think people need to mind their own business, winded your glass house & take care of your own families. It's none of your business what this family does and I guarantee you they could care less what you think.
I agree with Amy. It is truly none of our business what these parents do with their child. the decision remains with the parents and the child. no I wouldn't let my son get a tattoo at 13 but when he is 18 years old, if he still wants it go ahead, he is legally an adult and can do what he wants. Your body is your own and only you can determine how you want to treat it, no one else.
As a heavily tattooed mom myself and the wife of a tattoo artist, I can say that there is no way my husband would ever tattoo our kids underage (or anyone, for that matter)….quite the opposite, actually. He doesn't want them tattooed at all! I agree, to each his own and it's none of our business really….but if I got the tattoos I wanted at that age, I would now be stuck with some really horible tattoos! I am definitely of the mindset that the age restrictions are in place for a reason and that it's a decision that should be made when one is a responsible adult.
I think that even at 18 people get tattoos that they later regret, so definitely at 13, I am betting he will later wish he hadn't.
It is none of my business though. I just have to worry about my own kiddos and make sure they don't do it, lol. Hopefully I can reason with them and tell them how they may not want this same thing forever (but truthfully, can kids be reasoned with, some, but not all).
I thought this was an interesting post.
THAT IS AWESOME! I'm a teacher and think it's great to see kids with tattoos! FINALLY!
im full of tats. and they are very painful. i have them from my face, hands back arms and in every spot that could hurt the most. i also an a father of 3 but have only 1 son. i just think that the tattoos are not real if they were and the father did them he should be shot in his head for being dad of the year. that alot of work on such a little dude its b… s…
I'm 15 years old and I got a tattoo 2 weeks after my 14th birthday so I've had it for a little over a year now. I don't regret my choice because I put it in a place (lower back) that nobody can see unless I want them to and it's just a small purple flower so no story behind it I just like it…Yes my parents know, I asked them and they said yes, they aren't bad parents they just know me and know that I get good grades (straight A high honors student with multiple awards to prove it) and I'm respectful and nice. I don't drink or do drugs, I'm not a bully, I'm the exact opposite, I try to be nice to everyone I meet. You shouldn't judge people, its wrong and a form of bullying which all of you, I'm assuming are against. My mom has 6 tattoos and my dad has one. My aunts, uncles, older sisters and some cousins even have a couple…They're all great people, smart and kind and we're a very close family…I'm done growing height wise because I haven't grown in 2 years and your back doesnt really change as much as the rest of your body even if you gain weight, it would have to be alot to make a difference so I'm good…maybe he should of waited but its not a choice or judgment any of you can make because its not your kid…deal with your own kids
I got my first tattoo when I was fifteen, and although I loved it then, I did regret it when I turned 18 and wanted to get a larger back piece as a memorial to my deceased stepfather, because that little chinese symbol was in the way. That being said, I only got the tattoo because it was a TATTOO, not because it really meant anything to me. Most times, when you're under 18 and getting a tattoo, it's not because it means anything or is something that you really want for the rest of your life. It's just because you want to be "cool." What personal meaning does a purple flower hold to you that was so important to express that you couldn't wait until you were 18?
Minors getting tatted up = DUMB.
Let me just start by saying, I'm 19 years old. BUT, when I was 12-13 years old, I knew without a doubt that I wanted tattoos. Not because they were "cool" or "rebellious" but I wanted to artistically display an aspect of my inner self on my skin. If this 13 yo is mature enough and certain enough that this is what they want (and the parents are okay with it) I see no problem. Everyone, the media, celebrities, therapists, are telling kids to express themselves, to be true to who they really are. Why are tattoos suddenly an abhorrent way to express yourself??

Woodford Reserve Holiday Ham
Glazed in Bourbon and Orange with Black Berry Cumberland Sauce
Serves 8-.
For the Ham
1 pit cured ham— about 5 pounds. Bone in or out.
For the Bourbon Orange Glaze:
1 cup orange juice concentrate
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp. ground clove
½ cup Early Times Bourbon
¼ cup Sorghum
¼ cup Brown sugar
¼ cup Woodford Reserve Bourbon
Combine all the ingredients and stir until the brown sugar is dissolved.
For the Blackberry Cumberland Sauce
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup minced onion
½ of a (12-ounce) jar red currant jelly
6 ounces blackberry jam
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon
1 cup Woodford Reserve bourbon
Sauté onion in butter. Add jam and jelly and stir until melted. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Tips for roasting the Ham
· For a ham that has only been partially cooked, you will need to allow about 20 minutes per pound in a moderate (350 degrees F/175 degrees C) oven.
· A fully cooked ham will require about 10 minutes per pound in order to be heated all the way through.
To help keep your ham moist and juicy:
Pour half the glaze over the ham before putting it in the oven. Baste the ham through out the roasting period, about every 15-20 minutes with both new and old glaze.
If the ham is going to be in the oven longer than an hour, place a foil tent over the pan and place the ham in the oven cut side down.
About 15 minutes before the ham is finished roasting, remove the foil tent and in crease the temperature of the oven to 400 degrees, coat it as much as possible with the glaze and keep basting it.
When the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (80 degrees C), the ham is ready for serving

Love this dress! As soon as I put on this dress I knew it was the one! It hugs your body and accentuates in all of the right places. I wore a crinoline skirt underneath to give me extra shape and I altered the neckline to a sweetheart. The dress was comfortable and I received many compliments. If you buy this dress you will LOVE IT! July 31, 2014
Awesome Purchase I recently went to 2 different davids bridal and 3 other bridal stores looking for my "dream dress" for the wedding. Then I found 3 online and went in the store in Tampa, Fl and seen this one on the rack and thought ehhh it looks ok so why not give it a try on. well first off, just looking at it hanging in the bag doesnt give this dress any justice at all. Once i put the dress on, my whole world just lit up. My sister (MH) was also with me and she was just speechless. Everyone came over and was telling me that i looked absolutly stunning in this dress. So i tried on 2 others and just couldnt even compare any of them to this dress. I called my mom and sent her the picture and she just fell in love with it as well. So we purchased the dress. Just beware that it does take a while to come in...wont be in until September!! But the detail of this dress is stunning and all hand done which makes it even more excellent!! Can't wait for my Fiance to see me in this dress on our wedding day!! :) June 23, 2014
Perfect dress for my Wedding day! Before trying on wedding gowns, I always thought that I wanted a ballgown. After trying on several ballgowns, I found that they did not look as good on me as they did on the hanger. This dress was my first "fitted" dress that I tried on and let me tell you, it was the total opposite of what I pictured myself in. I felt so beautiful when I tried this dress on, and most importantly, I felt like a true bride. The lace and the flower appliques are so detailed, yet elegant and feminine. I had the alterations department add a sweetheart neckline and a corset back which made it even more unique and elegant. I wish my husband and I could have a wedding every weekend so that I can wear the dress all over again! One word of advice, don't judge the dress by its cover, try it on, you'll be so happy you did! March 27, 2014
Dream Dress <3 I saw this dress on Davidsbridal.com and fell in love instantly! I knew this was my dress! The day I went to try on dresses, this dress sat in my mind the entire time. This dress was the second dress I tried on and I instantly lit up! My family did not agree with me though! So I continued to try on the 10 or so other dresses which were in the room. Needless to say, there was no competition with this dress! I loved it then, the day of my wedding, and I still love it now! This dress was my dream dress come true! :) February 12, 2014

Cal Fire has promoted a well-known Ben Lomond resident and Cal Fire veteran Rob Sherman to operate the activities of Ben Lomond Conservation Camp.
Cal Fire conducted a badge-pinning ceremony Monday, Jan. 14, at its Felton headquarters, led by acting Unit Chief Scott Jalbert.
"We're all excited to have Rob as part of our management team and the Ben Lomond Camp," Jalbert said during the ceremony.
The camp is a post that includes a unit fleet of about 50 vehicles, including fire engines and bulldozers.
As division chief, Sherman is charged with supervising 10 fire captains and their staff who take custody of about 90 California Department of Corrections inmates from the Ben Lomond Conservation Camp facility each day and put them to work.
When there is a wildfire, the inmates help battle the blaze — when there is no fire, they complete work projects that include cleaning trails and reducing burnable fuel throughout the area.
Sherman's daughter Abby pinned her father's badge on his uniform during the ceremony that was attended by a host of valley fire chiefs.
Sherman, a Santa Cruz native, graduated from now-defunct Morello Preparatory High School and became a seasonal firefighter for the California Division of Forestry in 1978.
His father and grandfather started what is now Zoccoli's Deli in Santa Cruz and wanted Sherman to go into the business with his cousin. Instead, Sherman chose firefighting.
He worked for six years as a seasonal firefighter, three in the Santa Cruz-San Mateo area and three in Santa Clara, including on a helicopter crew on Pacheco Pass.
For the next 13 years, he worked at Moffett Field in Mountain View as a firefighter, and then worked at the Fort Ord and the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey before the base closure forced him from the post.
Sherman was hired as a Santa Cruz County fire marshal in 2000. He became an engineer, then a fire captain, a deputy fire marshal and then battalion chief.
"I love working for the department," Sherman said.
Sherman is also active in the community. He's in his fourth year as president of the San Lorenzo Valley High School Booster Club, on which he's served for eight years. He's also coached Little League, Pop Warner football and was in charge of the Sunday School program at San Agustin Church in Scotts Valley for 13 years.
He lives with his wife, Joan, in Ben Lomond. They have two children — son Kyle Sherman who lives in Montana, and daughter Abby, who attends San Lorenzo Valley High.
Sherman's father, Lloyd, 95, lives in Santa Cruz.

Folk on 4
A selection of programmes relating to folk music from the Radio 4 archives.
Listen now 30 mins
Christopher Maltman is an award-winning opera singer and recitalist. Alongside the lieders, chansons and art songs of his recital repertoire, he loves nothing more than performing folk song settings.
Audiences often respond well, but not all among the folk-singing fraternity are enthusiastic about this genre borrowing. Some contend that folk songs lose much of their impact when refined and beautified for the recital stage.
Christopher talks to folk singer Eliza Carthy and scholars Georgina Boyes and Tim Healey about the uneasy relationship between the two musical worlds.
Is the antagonism musical or to do with very English attitudes to class and accent? And why is it that so many of his opera-singing colleagues from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and further afield, have no such animosity from their respective folk cultures?
Christopher also talks to his regular recital accompanist Julius Drake and senior colleague Sir Thomas Allen about the best way of approaching this music, searching for a performance that is genuine to singer and song alike.
Producer: Tom Alban.

Zeitgeist Global Connect: Advance Notice of New Web Platform
Zeitgeist Global Connect is a new web platform being developed to harness the potential power of our distributed activist community by enabling communication and collaboration as a connected network of chapters, teams and individuals, in accordance with the aims and principles of the Zeitgeist Movement.
Project Outline
The Phoenix Team, part of the Global Development Team of the Zeitgeist Movement, is working to release a single, comprehensive web solution for all global and regional chapters, project teams and individual activists under the name of Zeitgeist Global Connect. This web platform will offer an array of key features that chapters and global teams have been requesting. Chapters and teams are of course free to continue with any other preferred web interface, but we think that this new service will prove a compelling choice for many.
The platform's functionality is focused on the needs of the Movement as articulated through extensive consultation. We have compiled the initial set of features by considering what is currently being used by chapters and teams and, just as importantly, what is needed in order to administer internal operations more effectively in the future. This compilation is the final stage of a process which began with the consultation of many members via the (now defunct) global forum, wiki, TeamSpeak and Open Atrium platforms.
In particular, ZGC will provide a single, comprehensive solution for each chapter and project team to create and administer their own web portal; to channel the diverse skills, experience and commitment of members toward effectively coordinated projects, whether local, regional or global; whilst at the same time establishing more effective global connections with the rest of the Movement.
We are building an interconnected environment in which:
- People can get engaged, joining one or more chapters or teams
- Chapters have the necessary tools to manage and promote ongoing activities
- Project teams and members can find each other, according to needs and available skills
- Members can customize the pertinent information they receive generated by chapters and teams across the world, based upon their geographic location and chapter membership, and upon their interest in teams, projects and events.
ZGC will be implemented in clear steps. Our first goal is to release version 1.0 as soon as possible, so that chapters can start migrating over to the new system. Your feedback will then help determine progressive improvements and the implementation of additional functionality with relatively frequent upgrades.
As the platform continues to be developed, it will result in an all-encompassing communication hub, purposely designed for facilitating shared global activity and, ultimately, the establishment of a global resource-based economic system.
You can read more about the project and follow progress on our Atrium workspace.
Project Recruitment
Zeitgeist Global Connect is an ambitious project and, to successfully develop and administer the new platform, the team requires more active members. If you have any of the following skills and can donate some time we need to hear from you:
- Coordination: project planning, analytical thinking, writing documents, communication
- Graphic design: creative concept development, logo design
- Information architecture: sitemaps, wireframes, use-cases, entity relationships, data- design, UML diagrams
- Front-end development: HTML4/5, CSS2/3, Jquery, making static templates from Photoshop files, Flash AS3
- Back-end programming: PHP
- Drupal: theming, administration, PHP development
- Security: firewalls, network, LAMP, PHP security
- Database: mysql, writing custom SQL queries, making schemas, data migration, merging, remapping
If you can contribute, please register on the Atrium and post in a hello in the forum there. You can list your skills and join any pertinent team.
Thanks from the Phoenix Team!

Which one is the real Miss Universe Canada?
A 26 year-old Canadian woman is heartbroken after being told she is no longer Miss Universe Canada after a mistake on the final tally.PT1M12S http://www.watoday.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ndfo 620 349 May 30, 2013

Losing is never easy, but for one unlucky contestant in Canada's Miss Universe competition the bad news came 24 hours later - after she'd been crowned the winner.
Red-faced organisers admitted on Wednesday local time that a typo led to a counting error that resulted in Denise Garrido, 26, being wrongly named the victor at Saturday's event. She was stripped of her sash and crown the next day.
This is the second consecutive year in which controversy has enveloped the pageant
"I was shocked. I'd achieved my dream and suddenly after a day of it sinking in it was suddenly taken away from me," a heartbroken Garrido said after losing her chance to represent Canada at the Miss Universe final in December.

In a statement, pageant director Denis Davila blamed an inexperienced employee for the typo when transferring the judges' handwritten scores into a computer program that determines the winner.
An independent audit later spotted the error.
It turned out that Garrido had actually finished third runner-up to Riza Santos, also 26, of Calgary, who will now collect her crown in that city on Saturday, according to a pageant spokesman.

This is the second consecutive year in which controversy has enveloped the pageant. In 2012, transgender model Jenna Talackova waged a battle to enter the competition. She went on to win a prize for congeniality.
Looking for a "silver lining" in the debacle, Garrido said she will always relish having been crowned "even if it lasted for only 24 hours".

The setting seemed way too wholesome for the potty-mouthed rapper but that just goes to show her Minaj's pop culture omnipresence.

Occupying a fittingly central location in the old city, between Phousi Hill and the Mekong River, the former Royal Palace is now home to the Royal Palace Museum, preserving the trappings and paraphernalia of Laos's recently extinguished monarchy. The palace, at the end of a long drive lined with stately palms, was constructed in 1904 by the French and replaced an older, smaller palace of teak and rosewood. The new palace was supposed to be crowned by a European-style steeple, but King Sisavang Vong insisted on modifications, and the graceful stupa-like spire that you see today was substituted, resulting in a tasteful fusion of European and Lao design. Another striking feature is the pediment over the main entrance adorned with a gilt rendition of the symbol of the Lao monarchy: Airavata, the three-headed elephant, being sheltered by the sacred white parasol. This is surrounded by the intertwining bodies of the fifteen guardian naga of Luang Prabang.
The king's reception room, to the right of the entrance hall, is full of huge Gauguinesque canvases portraying what appears to be "a day in the life of old Luang Prabang", with scenes of the city as it appeared in the early twentieth century. The paintings, executed by Alex de Fautereau in 1930, are meant to be viewed at different hours of the day when the light from outside is supposed to illuminate the panels depicting the corresponding time of day.
More impressive is the Throne Hall, just beyond the entry hall. Its high walls spangled with mosaics of multicoloured mirrors set in a crimson background, the throne hall dazzles even in the dim light. These mosaics, along with others at Wat Xieng Thong, were created in the mid-Fifties to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the historic Buddha's passing into Nirvana. On display in this room are rare articles of royal regalia: swords with hilts and scabbards of hammered silver and gold, an elaborately decorated fly-whisk and even the king's own howdah (elephant saddle). Also on show is a cache of small crystal, silver and bronze Buddha images taken from the inner chamber of the "Watermelon Stupa" at Wat Visoun. Somehow these treasures escaped the plundering gangs of "Black Flag" Chinese who, led by a White Tai warlord, sacked Luang Prabang in 1887. The stupa was destroyed, rebuilt in 1898, but collapsed in 1914. It was then that the Buddhas were discovered inside.
Leaving the Throne Hall via the door on the right, you come to the royal library, which is almost exclusively made up of official archives of the Ming and Ching dynasties, a gift from China during the Cultural Revolution. The corridors that surround the rooms at the rear are decorated with sixteen pictures that illustrate the legend of Prince Wetsantara, considered an important epic by Lao Buddhists.
King Sisavang Vong's bedchamber, located at the very back of the palace, is surprisingly modest. The only thing that looks especially regal is the massive hardwood bed, the headboard of which sports the king's initials and a carved Buddha sheltered by a seven-headed naga. The footboard bears a rendition of the royal emblem of Laos, this time with a two-tiered parasol.
Of the two final rooms, the near room houses diplomatic gifts presented to the people of Laos by a handful of nations, as well as the rather tatty-looking flag of the Kingdom of Laos that was given a symbolic ride up into space and back on one of the Apollo missions. Not long afterwards, the Kingdom of Laos ceased to exist. In the far room hang larger-than-life portraits of King Sisavang Vattana, his wife Queen Kham Phoui and their son Prince Vong Savang. These are the only officially displayed portraits of the last members of the 600-year-old dynasty anywhere in Laos. Had they not been painted by a Soviet artist they almost certainly would not have survived the years following the revolution. The same goes for the bronze sculpture of King Sisavang Vong in the museum grounds near the front gate. This statue may look familiar if you have already passed through Vientiane, where a larger version stands in the park adjacent to Wat Simuang.
Turn left immediately upon exiting the museum to reach the small room that currently houses the Pha Bang, the most sacred Buddha image in Laos. Flanking the Pha Bang are numerous other Buddha images, including ancient Khmer stone images and several pairs of mounted elephant tusks. One pair, deeply incised with rows of Buddhas, was noted by Francis Garnier on the altar of Wat Visoun in the 1860s. Displayed nearby in richly carved wooden frames are silk panels embroidered with gold and silver thread that depict yet more images of the Buddha.
The Pha Bang
The Pha Bang
Much more than an ancient image of the Buddha, the Pha Bang is the palladium of Laos. The pursuit and enshrining of palladial images has a long history in Southeast Asia, full of intrigue and Byzantine plotting. Like Thailand's "Phra Kaew" and Burma's "Mahamuni" Buddha images, the Pha Bang is believed to possess miraculous powers that safeguard the country in which it is enshrined. Formerly, palladial images were thought to legitimize the sovereignty of a king who had one in his possession. Only a pious king with sufficient religious merit could hope to hold onto such an image, and losing it was thought to be proof that a kingdom and its ruler did not deserve to possess it. Thus the histories of certain palladia read like the itinerary of some much coveted sacred sword or holy grail.
According to Lao legend, the Pha Bang image was cast of gold, silver, copper, iron and precious stones. Overseen by the god Indra, who donated gold for its creation, the image was crafted in the heavens above the Himalayas and then delivered to the capital of Sri Lanka. From there the image made its way to Cambodia and then to the city of Xieng Dong Xieng Thong, later renamed Luang Prabang (the Great Pha Bang) in honour of the image. In the early eighteenth century, the Pha Bang was moved to Vientiane, now the capital. Twice the Siamese invaded Vientiane, capturing the image, and twice they returned it to the Lao, believing that the Pha Bang was bad luck for Siam.
Since 1867, the Pha Bang has been kept in Luang Prabang, where to this day it is considered the most sacred Buddha image in Laos and centrepiece of the Lao New Year festival. At least, that's the official story. Persistent rumours have circulated since the revolution that the authentic Pha Bang was removed from its ornate pedestal and given to the Soviets in return for assistance to the Pathet Lao during the war. The image on display is said to be a copy, while the real Pha Bang is locked away in some vault in Moscow, its powers no longer serving as a talisman for Laos.

Is "zero-latency learning" possible using Sugata Mitra's Self Organising Learning Environment?
This may sound very absurd but for the past few years I have been wondering about how quickly can knowledge.skill transfer take place. My line of thing was if we can have Vertical Take Off and Landing Systems (VTOL), Zero Defect Programs (ZDP) like Six Sigma, Accelerated Dissolution Tests etc why not something close to zero latency in learning?
Sugata Mitra's TED Talk makes me think taht he has stumbled upon something really awesome. The questions are the usual ones: Is his experiment repeatable and reliable?
The success of his experiment and its universal application can really bring revolutionary changes that completely overturn our notions about learning, pedagogy, infrastructure required and of course the huge budget spends.
It will be great if we can share all we know about the possibilities and pitfalls and can come up with leads that can take us to a brave new world of education for all in say next 10 years.

Agrawal v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-8527, decision below 726 F.3d 235 (2nd Cir. Aug. 1, 2013), brief filed 2/14/14. Prosecutorial Overreach---National Stolen Property Act (NSPA), 18 U.S. C. § 2314---Rule of Lenity---Statutory Construction---Trade Secrets. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petition for Writ of Certiorari. Argument: The National Stolen Property Act's (NSPA) terms "goods, wares, merchandise" are limited to tangible items that are offered for sale in the marketplace. The plain language of the NSPA limits "goods, wares, merchandise" to movable items that are meant to reach the marketplace. Congress restricted the language of the NSPA by using the narrow terms "goods, wares, merchandise" and rejected amendments to expand the language to include trade secrets. Other federal statutes limit the terms "goods, wares, merchandise" to items destined for sale. This Court in Dowling v. United States limits "goods, wares, merchandise" to items that implicate traditional property rights. The nature of trade secrets renders them antithetical to the category of stolen items – "goods, wares, merchandise" that fall within the ambit of the NSPA. Applying the NSPA to trade secrets has led to varying decisions in the lower courts. The rule of lenity mandates a strict construction of "goods, wares, merchandise." Authors: Professor Ellen S. Podgor, Stetson University College of Law, Gulfport, FL; Jeffrey T. Green, Washington, DC.
Jewel v. National Security Agency,
U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Cal., No. 4:08-cv-4373-JSW, brief filed 8/1/14.
Bulk/Wholesale Collection of Communications---Class Action---Fourth
Amendment---Search and Seizure---Fifth
Amendment---Self-Incrimination---Sixth Amendment---Right to Counsel. Amicus Curiae Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. Argument:
Violating Plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment right by seizing and searching
all of their communications constitutes a violation of the Fifth
Amendment right against self-incrimination. Violating Plaintiffs'
Fourth Amendment right by seizing and searching all of their
communications constitutes a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to
counsel. The government's destruction of the evidence of its wrongful
search and seizure means that the injury to these other Constitutional
rights cannot be remediated and must be presumed. The fact that the
Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights of Plaintiffs have been undermined by
the surveillance at issue in this case supports the finding that this
surveillance has been made in violation of the Fourth Amendment. When
the Fourth Amendment falls, so do the Fifth and Sixth. This Court
should therefore find the surveillance at issue in this case unlawful. Authors:
Catherine R. Gellis, Sausalito, CA; Michael H. Page, Durie Tangri LLP,
San Francisco, CA; David Porter, Sacramento, CA (Of Counsel).
Loughrin v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-316, decision below 710 F.3d 1111 (10th Cir. 2013), brief filed 2/3/14. Overcriminalization---Over-federalization---Bank Fraud---18 U.S.C. § 1344. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petitioner. Question Presented: As the Tenth Circuit acknowledged in its decision below, the circuits are openly divided over the elements required to convict a defendant of federal bank fraud. The question presented is: Whether the government must prove that the defendant intended to defraud a bank and expose it to risk of loss in every prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1344. Argument: The text of the bank fraud statute does not support the Tenth Circuit's holding. The Tenth Circuit's interpretation of section 1344 promotes the unwarranted expansion of federal criminal law. The number of federal crimes has increased dramatically in the past few decades. New federal crimes cover local conduct that has historically been prosecuted by the states. Some prosecutors and courts have further expanded federal criminal law in the absence of clear congressional intent. The over-federalization of criminal law has numerous adverse consequences. Increasing the number of federal crimes overwhelms the limited resources of federal courts. Overlapping state and federal jurisdiction leads to competition and inefficiencies in the administration of criminal justice. Federalizing crimes already prosecuted by the states does little to alleviate crime and undermines the vital role of the states in prosecuting crime. Over-federalization leads to the disparate treatment of similarly situated defendants. The unjustified severity of petition's sentence illustrates the dangers of over-federalization. Authors: Daniel B. Levin and Victoria A. Degtyareva, Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, Los Angeles, CA; Barbara E. Bergman, Albuquerque.
United States v. 475 Martin Lane, 9th Cir., No. 12-56922 & 13-5555 & 13-5556, on appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 2:04-cv-02788-ABC-PLA, brief filed 1/28/14. Civil Forfeiture---Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA) Fee Provision---Anti-Assignment Act. Brief of Amicus Curiae National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Support of Appellees and Urging Affirmance. Argument: Congress enacted the CAFRA fee provision, over the government's objection, to ensure the availability of competent counsel for persons whose property the government seizes and seeks to forfeit. The Anti-Assignment Act does not apply to assignments of potential future CAFRA fee awards. The defense of a civil forfeiture case does not involve a claim against the government. Future, potential rights to recover statutory attorney fees are not claims against the government. Authors: John D. Cline, Law Office of John D. Cline, San Francisco, CA; Lara Kollios, Boersch Shapiro LLP, San Francisco, CA; David Porter, Sacramento, CA.
Whitfield v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-9026, decision below 548 Fed. Appx. 70 (4th Cir.(N.C.) Dec 10, 2013) (NO. 12-4956), brief filed 8/29/14. § 2113(e)---Forced Accompaniment---Ambiguity---Rule of Lenity. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petitioner. Argument: The rule of lenity supports the narrow construction of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(e) urged by petitioner in this case. The phrase "forces any person to accompany him" is ambiguous. The statute's ambiguity increases the risk of inconsistent application. Section 2113€ requires substantial movement. The Court should adopt a clear rule for interpreting the forced accompaniment provision of § 2113(e). Specific rules are especially important in applying vague mandatory minimum statutes. The conflicting tests used by lower courts to interpret § 2113(e) are inadequate. In interpreting the statute, the Court should rely on the distinction for kidnapping already drawn in the Model Penal Code (MPC). Under the MPC test, the petitioner's § 2113(e) conviction should be reversed. Authors: Jeffrey T. Green and Rebecca J. Johnson, Sidley Austin LLP, Washington, DC; Jonathan Hacker, Washington, DC.
Yates v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-7451, decision below 733 F.3d 1059 (11th Cir. 2013), brief filed 2/5/14. Overcriminalization---Overfederalization---18 U.S.C. § 1519---18 U.S.C. § 2232---Executive Expansion of Criminal Law---Burden of Proof. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petition for a Writ of Certiorari. Argument: Petitioner's conviction under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1519 and 2232 through his conduct aboard the Miss Katie exemplifies overcriminalization stemming from an unconstitutional executive expansion of the law. As a matter of law, the Petitioner could not have been adjudicated guilty under 18 U.S.C. § 1519 (2012) as the application of an anti-shredding statute to three rotten fish is an unconstitutional expansion of the law and a violation of statutory construction. Executive expansion of 18 U.S.C. § 1519 to include red grouper furthers the overcriminalization epidemic. Additionally, the lower courts committed reversible error when they effectively shifted the burden of proof from the government to the Petitioner on the issue of whether the fish were undersized. No reasonable jury could have convicted the Petitioner under § 2232 because the government failed to meet its burden of proof. Authors: William N. Shepherd, Holland & Knight LLP, West Palm Beach, FL; Barbara E. Bergman, Albuquerque, NM.
Yates v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-7451, decision below 733 F.3d 1059 (11th Cir. 2013), brief filed 7/7/14. Overcriminalization---Overfederalization---18 U.S.C. § 1519---Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002---Executive Expansion of Criminal Law---Statutory Construction---Burden of Proof. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers as Amici Curiae in Support of Petitioner John Yates. Argument: Petitioner's conviction under Sarbanes-Oxley exemplifies overcriminalization through an unconstitutional expansion of the law. Executive expansion of 18 U.S.C. § 1519 to include red grouper furthers the overcriminalization epidemic. Red grouper are not "tangible objects" under Sarbanes-Oxley. Even if Sarbanes-Oxley applies to fish, Yates' conduct did not impede, obstruct, or influence a federal investigation. Overcriminalization places a growing burden on the administration of justice, often resulting in ludicrous federal convictions for conduct that, traditional, falls outside constitutionally anticipated federal purview. Authors: William N. Shepherd, Holland & Knight LLP, West Palm Beach, FL; Barbara E. Bergman, Albuquerque, NM.

Flemish, Burgundian, then Spanish before becoming French, Lille possesses a striking architectural heritage. A merchant city at its beginning in the Middle Ages, a fortress city under Louis XIV, an industrial centre in the 19th century, and a growing, ambitious city in the 20th century, Lille was named the European Capital of Culture in 2004. Today the city remains a model in this area.
Vibrant and outgoing, the population is one of the youngest in France and never misses an occasion to have fun! The city's inhabitants have made organising events, large or small, part of their identity. The famous Braderie de Lille is just one example. When night falls, the party goes on in the numerous bars and nightclubs that have given Lille its reputation as a party town.
That atmosphere goes well with the habit of getting together with friends and family around the table! Regional specialties are served in "les estaminets", small Flemish restaurants where carbonnade, waterzoï and potjevleesch accompany micro-brewed beer.
From its industrial past, Lille has maintained its entrepreneurial and innovative spirit. While the Euralille neighbourhood is a concentration of architectural experiments, the Lille Sud sector is home to the "Maisons de Mode" (Houses of Style), small storefront workshops of young stylists. With Lille3000, the whole city is turning towards the future, transformed with this new, recurring event based on contemporary creations and world cultures.
