Oveta Culp Hobby, Founder of the WACs And First Secretary of Health, Dies at 90
By JAMES BARRON
Published: August 17, 1995
Oveta Culp Hobby, the creator of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps in World War II, the first Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and a longtime executive at the recently closed Houston Post, died yesterday at her home in Houston. She was 90.
Mrs. Hobby, whose media holdings made her one of the nation's richest women, suffered a stroke in April, her family said.
She went from being a small-town lawyer's well-read daughter to being a regular on fashion magazines' lists of well-dressed women, with her trendy designer gowns and hats from Bergdorf Goodman. She took lessons that erased the drawl from her conversations about the Picasso paintings she collected or the Bartok concertos she heard at the Houston Symphony. She also reorganized the business department of The Houston Post from top to bottom, and she later developed a reputation as a hard-working administrator who prized efficiency in government.
But she was not one to demand the credit.
"Everything that ever happened to me fell in my lap," she once said. "And nothing in my life would have been possible without Governor."
"Governor" was William P. Hobby, an easy-going newspaperman who was the top elected official in Texas from 1917 to 1921; his most notable action as Governor was to call out the state militia to crush a dock strike.
He was hired as publisher of The Houston Post-Dispatch at about the same time that Miss Culp, a friend of Florence Sterling, whose millionaire brother owned the paper, got a job in the circulation department.
Mr. Hobby's first wife died a year later. A couple of years later, after Miss Culp lost a campaign for a seat in the State Legislature, they were seen socializing around Houston. In 1931, when she was 26 and he 53, they were married.
"Will, she'll embarrass you," one of her husband's friends warned. "She doesn't give a hang about clothes."
But she learned to; in the 1950's her name appeared regularly on the lists of best-dressed women. She also learned about newspapers. The Hobbys eventually acquired ownership of The Post and she worked as a book reviewer, copy editor and editorial writer.
Their first child, William P. Hobby Jr., was born on Mrs. Hobby's 27th birthday, and her daughter, Jessica, on her 32d. As the publisher's wife, she became president of the Texas League of Women Voters, a member of the board of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, a member of the Houston Symphony Orchestra Committee and regional chairman of the Mobilization for Human Needs, all before she was 35.
Mrs. Hobby was born on Jan. 19, 1905, in Killeen, Tex., the daughter of Isaac and Emma Hoover Culp. Her first name was an Indian word that her parents chose because it rhymed with with Juanita, the name of one of her sisters.
Oveta soon demonstrated her independent-mindedness. A temperance campaign swept Killeen when she was 5, and her Sunday school class was asked to sign a pledge. She politely refused. Her grandmother heard about her refusal and had a switch ready. Not until afterward did her grandmother ask why she had refused. "I did not sign because I did not know what that word means -- temperance," she said. Her grandmother apologized.
She was her father's favorite; at 10 she read the Congressional Record in his office, and when he won a seat in the Texas Legislature in 1919 she went with him to Austin.
She briefly attended Mary Hardin Baylor College at Belton, Tex. Miss Culp was soon on the state payroll, in a job codifying statutes for the State Banking Committee. In 1925, when she was 20, a year shy of being old enough to vote, she was appointed parliamentarian of the Texas Legislature. Later she wrote a handbook on parliamentary procedure, "Mr. Chairman," which was used as a textbook throughout the state.
"If I hadn't been parliamentarian of the Texas Legislature, other things would never have been sparked," she said later. "Twenty is a wonderful age for things to be sparked."
One of the things sparked by her duties in Austin was an interest in politics. The 1928 Democratic National Convention was held in Houston, and she worked on senatorial and mayoral campaigns. She later ran for a seat in the State Legislature. Her opponent whispered that she was "a parliamentarian and a Unitarian." She lost. It was the last time she ran for office.
Mrs. Hobby was in Washington in 1941 for a meeting at the Federal Communications Commission -- the family owned radio station KPRC-AM -- when Gen. David Searles asked her to organize a section on women's activities for the Army. The War Department had been receiving 10,000 letters a day from women who wanted to serve their country. But Mrs. Hobby turned him down, saying that she had a husband, two children and a job.
General Searles asked her to draw up an organization chart with recommendations on ways that women could serve, and she did. He repeated his request that she go to work in Washington. She repeated her refusal. Then she told her husband.
"You shouldn't have made him have to ask you a second time," Mr. Hobby reportedly said at the time. "Any thoughtful person knows that we are in this war, and that every one of us is going to have to do whatever we are called upon to do." Mrs. Hobby went to Washington.

A police officer in Ferguson, MO has been "suspended indefinitely" after he threatened peaceful protestors by pointing his gun at them.
A statement released by the St. Ann, MO Police Department, details circumstances surrounding the suspension of the officer, who Police Chief Aaron Jimenez confirmed was Lieutenant Ray Albers, the Huffington Post reports. (Scroll down to see statement.) In addition, the department acknowledged that Albers' actions were "inappropriate, and not indicative of the officers who have worked daily, to keep the peace."
The department's statement comes days after Albers was captured in videos shot by protestors Tuesday night as he pointed a rifle at them.
"Gun raised, gun raised and pointed," a protestor shouts out, alerting others as Albers approaches closer.
"My hands are up," another protestor said.
"I will f**king kill you, get back!" Albers shouted as another protestor asked for the officer to identify himself.
"What's your name, sir?" the protestor asks.
"Go f**k yourself," replied Albers.
To see Albers' confrontation with the protestors, check out the video above.
The following is the St. Ann Police Department's statement in its entirety:
On Tuesday, August 19, 2014, shortly before midnight, an incident occurred wherein a St. Ann Police Officer pointed a semi automatic assault rifle at a peaceful protestor after a verbal exchange. It was at this time a St. Louis County Police Sergeant walked over and immediately took action, forcing the officer to lower the weapon, and escorting him away from the area. The unified command strongly feel these actions are inappropriate, and not indicative of the officers who have worked daily, to keep the peace. The St. Ann Police Officer involved in the incident has been relieved of duty and suspended indefinitely. For any further regarding the status of the officer, or any following internal investigation, questions need to be directed to the St. Ann Police Department. "

Behind the scenes at Disneyland's corral
Way before Walt Disney bought the property that would become Disneyland, horses and other animals lived on a ranch north of the orange groves razed for the theme park.
In fact, Disney used to saddle up on the ranch's horses to tour the property that he was considering buying. One day, he told a ranch employee that the check was ready.
Today, the land is still a working ranch -- Circle D Corral houses horses, goats and other critters that are part of Disneyland's attractions. And this time of year, Circle D staff care for animals that visit just for the holiday season -- reindeer that come from the "North Pole."
"It's part of Disney's history. Walt's two favorite things were trains and horses," said Maggie Gitchen, guest service manager who oversees Circle D.
First attraction
The corral is actually considered Disneyland's first attraction, starting in 1954 before the park opened, although the corral was not open to the public, Gitchen said. Back then, the ranch was more than 10 acres. Now, it's less than five, sitting outside the park behind Mickey's Toontown and Frontierland.
Disney invited a couple, Dolly and Owen Pope, to live at the ranch to raise the horses. He moved a 1920s bungalow that used to sit where the old Disneyland marquee stood along Harbor Boulevard to the corral property. The Popes are the only people who have ever lived there.
The bungalow remains today, used for offices, a break room, tours and occasionally, a sleeping area when a horse is really sick. An original metal barn and harness room, including a 1900s sewing machine that was retrofitted for repairs, also stayed.
Working corral
Today, about 45 employees take care of about 50 permanent animals: horses, goats, donkeys, cockatoos, a sheep, a cow and a turkey . Two new turkeys -- set to be pardoned by President Barack Obama for Thanksgiving -- are scheduled to arrive tonight. Most of the aminals are for the petting zoo at Disneyland's Big Thunder Ranch, which the corral staff oversees.
Over the years, other animals have joined the group: pot belly pigs, mules, bunnies, chickens, tigers, camels, elephants. Snakes, spiders and lizards came when Indiana Jones Adventure opened. Outside vendors and trainers cared for some of the trickier creatures, sometimes outside of the corral's confines.
The horses' main jobs are to draw the vehicles along Main Street U.S.A. and show up at weddings at the hotels. It can take two months or longer to teach horses how to deal with crowds and noise.
On a day last week, one horse, Sonny, was roped to a pole and stood for a while to learn patience. Other times, horses are taken into corrals with strollers, streamers, rolling trashcans, wheelchairs and balloons -- giving them stimulus overload so they learn to be calm in the parks. All of the animals are used to the nightly fireworks noise.
Most animals are purchased from the outside, but the corral breeds goats. In the last round, 15 goats were born from five goats -- more than the corral staff was expecting.
"As soon as these guys are born, we're carrying them around," Gitchen said.
North Pole visit
For the fifth year, Santa has brought eight reindeer-in-training from the North Pole to stay with him while he visits children at Disneyland. Disneyland officials won't discuss any other details about the reindeer's whereabouts the rest of the year beyond what they tell guests.
The eight reindeer, who don't have names, collectively eat 32 pounds of grain daily. Although the corral staff oversees the reindeer, the animals -- described as calm and easy-going -- live full-time in a pen inside Disneyland's Big Thunder Ranch, where visitors come to see Santa's Reindeer Round-up. The reindeer often stick their hooves in the water, thinking they need to break the ice.
"They honestly seem to be happy. It's like Club Med for some of them," Gitchen said.
Many of the guests have never seen reindeer and wonder if they are real, said Mark Lilla, the primary lead at Big Thunder Ranch. Some think they should be bigger, but employees remind them that Santa has "tiny reindeer."
The Martin family of Norco visited the reindeer last week and weren't sure if the brown-and-white creatures were real. It wasn't quite what Cailey Martin, 8, expected.
"They are different colors. I thought they'd be all brown," Cailey said.
The reindeer have been a hit with guests: In their second year, about 20,000 guests came to visit them at Big Thunder on their first day, Gitchen said.
"It's been a huge success and pretty special because many people have never seen a reindeer," Gitchen said.

I blend methyl cellulose for cosmetic products (I use the fine powder). Is methyl cellulose edible? I want to make an edible gel without sugar; just stevia and fruit flavours.
Methylcellulose is commonly used in molecular gastronomy to raise the freezing temperture of solids and liquids. Think piping-hot ice cream.
For the gel, you could use agarose (commonly agar) to create a jelly.
The other obvious choice for the gel would be gelatin. Buy plain gelatin at the store and have at it with the directions.
You can create a foam using either the gelatin or the agar and an N2O whipper. This is also called an espuma.
The third, more fun choice would be to get thee to an asian food store and buy and flavor some tapioca pearls.
This (e)Book has a number of recipes involving meythlcellulose (a.k.a. methyocel), including:

Sandwich Mondays
Sandwich Monday: Cheese In Hiding
Today we're sampling Burger King's new Stuffed Steakhouse Burger. What makes this sandwich special is they've put cheese and jalapenos inside the patty, rather than on top. You may be asking yourself, why? What's the difference? Well, firstly, it keeps the cheese warm, like a meat sweater.
Mike: Ours really doesn't look like the one in the picture. Peter, did you sit on our burger?
Ian: I think this is the photo from the burger's e-Harmony profile. So misleading.
Mike: This is a great way to prank a lactose-intolerant friend.
Eva: It's also great if you love cheese but hate how it looks.
Ian: Yeah. And it's true that if you can't see the cheese you're eating, it keeps your eyes from getting fat.
Mike: Now that the technology to hide stuff in burgers is out there, the door is open to all sorts of things. They could stuff one with candied jellies and make a Stuffed Christmas Burger.
Ian: You could put your presents under it.
Mike: You could put your presents IN IT.
Eva: You can pretty much put the word "stuffed" in front of anything and Americans will want it.
Mike: It's true. I can't tell you how many stuffed animals I've eaten.
Ian: Instead of "obese," we should say "stuffed person." That's a lot nicer.
Peter: You ever hear of prison loaf, where they take all these different foods and mash them together into one big thing? I think what we're seeing with this burger is the idea of prison loaf trickling out.
Ian: Peter, I didn't think what you were saying could get any grosser, then, boom, you finished it off with the phrase "prison loaf trickling out."
[The Verdict: fine, but not worth running out and getting. It is not clearly superior or inferior to a traditional cheese-atop-patty formation, and far less cheese-stuffed than the ads had us picturing. If you're going to stuff a burger, stuff it.]

Glass farm to be solar farm
A 2.5 megawatt solar farm will be built on the Village-owned Glass Farm, Village Council decided at its April 19 meeting.
Solar project moves forward
At their last meeting, Village Council members came close to backing away from a proposed solar farm in the village. But that changed at their April 4 meeting, after Council heard from an energy expert.
Tornado alert not up to speed
Spring is tornado season, and forecasters say the Ohio Valley may be in the path of more severe weather than usual. Villagers would do well to consider their safety plans before the tornado warning sirens sound.
Solar project hangs on, but barely
At its March 21 meeting Village Council came close to backing away from a proposed solar farm project, but agreed to try to gather information in upcoming weeks.
Council changes sidewalk policy
At their March 21 meeting, members of Village Council gave the final approval to an ordinance that changes Village policy on sidewalk maintenance, shifting the responsibility for upkeep from property owners to the Village.
State cuts have local budget impact
Local institutions are reeling from the release of Gov. John Kasich's biennial budget last week, which proposes funding cuts for local governments, schools, libraries and elder care facilities.
Services to citizens vary greatly by community
Yellow Springs residents do pay more to live in the village, according to a 2008 cost of living comparison of school and municipal income tax, property tax and utility costs in area towns.
Many 2010 Village projects
At the March 7 Village Council meeting, Village Manager Mark Cundiff presented a report on some of the Village's 2010 significant accomplishments.
Revenue drop leads to levy renewal
On May 3 Yellow Springers will be asked to vote on Issue 1, a renewal of the current Village five-year 8.4 mill property tax levy due to expire at the end of 2011.
Energy report cards firststep towards conservation
Energy report cards will soon be sent to some residents in hopes that the data will spur residents to make energy-efficiency upgrades to their homes.

I'm meaning the Disney princess type dressing up.
When did your daughter lose interest in play dressing up
*Loving my 2 kids*
Comments (10)
my almost 7 year old isnt into it as much unless friends are over:(
*Loving my 2 kids*
My oldest is 7 and still dresses up as well. I like that she still likes the little girl stuff, but I can't wait to get rid of all the ratty dresses she leaves all over the house.
My seven year old DS loves to dress up! DD(almost four), not so much.
Do. Or do not. There is no try
Probably around age 8. Now she is 10 and puts on fashion shows, but wearing regular clothes, jewelry, purses, etc., not princess dresses.
Married to Ted since 1994. Homeschooling mom to J & R (3/99), R (9/02), and J (6/06)
Um, not sure. My 6 YO DD still loves to dress up in her Disney gear. In fact, today she was Tiana, Cinderella, and Merida (complete with box and arrow).
I understand OP. Sometimes, I get bored too. Instead of making up shit on a baby forum, I drink. Maybe take up drinking. - trinaliz
Dd is 5 and still doesn't like "girl" stuff and will still say "ew, gross" when she sees princess type stuff.
She does however dress up as a cat all the time. She's been wearing cat ears since September; never leaves the house without them & it's semi-normal for me to tell her to go use her litterbox before we leave to go out somewhere (and before some crazy person on the BHB takes me the wrong way, she does not go in an actual litterbox but on the toliet just like a normal kid).

A seven-seat Volkswagen SUV has been confirmed by VW CEO Martin Winterkorn at an exclusive event on the eve of the Detroit Motor Show.
The announcement is part of an initiative aiming for one million VW or Audi-badged models sold in the US by 2018, with this particular SUV model primarily aimed at that market.
Dr Winterkorn said: "Engineering is already underway on this seven-seat passenger vehicle for America. It will arrive in 2016 with a dynamic design and plenty of space for American families."
In total, Volkswagen will be investing more than seven billion USD in to North America to help achieve its sales goal but the improvements are already plain to see. "The Group has almost doubled unit sales in the US since 2008, setting a new record of over 600,000 deliveries in 2013," said Winterkorn.
The as-yet unnamed seven-seat SUV has already been previewed by the CrossBlue and CrossBlue Coupé concepts, with VW insiders revealing that the production car will look almost identical.
Whether it will come to the UK is still up for debate but in the opinion of people in the know it's unlikely to be offered initially but there's certainly a never-say-never attitude.
The CrossBlue will be based on the same MQB architecture as the Golf, which means it will be available with a similar range of engines. Four cylinders diesels are on the cards as VW tries to convince America of their benefits, while the plug-in hybrid system due to arrive in the Golf this year is also a possibility.
As well as the Volkswagen version, Skoda is also understood to be interested in creating a seven-seat SUV to sit above the Skoda Yeti, which is also likely to arrive in 2016.

Rihanna's not afraid to go to court!
According to Inquisitr, Rihanna filed a lawsuit against her ex-accountants, claiming that they have mismanaged millions of dollars–her millions of dollars, that is. Hand in hand with Tourihanna, the 24-year-old singer sued Berdon LLP and its employees Michael Mitnick and Peter Gounis.
The lawsuit claimed that "between 2005 and 2010, Tourihanna suffered significant losses due to the defendant's financial mismanagement and other acts and omissions." These "other acts" included mismanaging her taxes and monitoring Rihanna's song royalties. Inquisitr reported that the "mismanagement" rooted all the way back to 2005 when Rihanna first started working with Berdon LLP at the innocent age of 16!
Let's hope Rihanna gets her money back! What do you think about the legal drama? Would love to hear your thoughts below!

Rated 4 out of 5 by GunJam from Not bad Okay fit but not as good as competing aluminum housing. Required trimming of felpro gasket. Would recommend this product especially if you need the threaded adapter in my case to run a 2nd water temp sender. If you dont need the threaded adapter you may wish to look for a better aluminum alternative.

Honestly… a whole month? That's a month worth of sales… Hopefully they'll be enough authors willing to do this.
Maybe you should offer the template for free one day each month, and whoever gets it keeps it, while others that are too late have to buy it.
There seems to be a loophole in this somewhere, or maybe I'm just paranoid.
I always have this problem after I get finished with a design. I'm like "Okay, I'm done—now what do I do?" and often just draw a blank for the next week or so.
I constantly think "design something original, unique, and out of the ordinary"... then 5 minutes later, I decide to just go with a plain, over-done design because "that's what the popular files are like."
So basically, I'm split between making money and taking a risk of losing a week or two making something that won't sell as expected.
My two cents. Which didn't contribute to the topic question. Sorry
Nevermind. I think I made something that works. Thanks for the replies and sorry for the panic.
Cycle works fine. It's just Captify wasn't built for Cycle, and I don't know Javascript so I don't know what to fix to make it work. My idea is pretty good, I just can't seem to implement it due to them not working with each other.
I have a problem and it's more or less crucial to my current design so I need your help.
I'm using jQuery Cycle with the Captify Plugin and after about 5-6 hours, I still haven't managed to get them to work with each other. After the first slide, the images refuse to show up and the Captify captions don't show up.
So, I was wondering if there were any stable alternatives to Captify that also work with jQuery Cycle that you are aware of? I really need to add a caption that slides out on hover but I also need the images to rotate with Cycle.
http://themeforest.scheetzdesigns.com/bpp_v2/wp/ manages to get this to work but I'm not sure what plugins he used.
Thanks to whoever helps out. I'm really desperate.
Pretty sweet indeed! Bookmarked for sure.
Cool. Thanks Ponjoh
Unfortunately, you can't through ThemeForest. Although I do wish they made that option available for user-started contests or giveaways or something of the sort.
Is there an advantage of making liquid Admin Skins opposed to fixed?
Most, if not all, Admin Skins are fluid on this marketplace so I just wanted to know if that's an advantage, one that will provide more sales and a higher price, in case I would like to design a skin.
I don't have any items on ThemeForest yet but here's my 2 cents.
Any HTML encrypters have a decrypter counterpart right there on the first of page of Google Search. Encrypting your code probably gives the pirate more of an accomplished feeling when he finally steals your work.
Personally, I wouldn't encrypt my code – it's not going to stop them anyway – but rather attract possibly customers by showing my clean, indented, and well-commented code.
Anyone who steals the templates won't pay for it anyway, so it's not like I'm losing sales.
I do understand where people are coming from; it's not fair at all that quite a few people out there are getting your hard work for free but that's life.

Boo's Mansion
Boo's Mansion is the home of some Boos in Paper Mario. Lady Bow and Bootler live here, as well as many other Boos. Mario needs to go through Forever Forest to get here. Down the road from Boo's Mansion is a windmill, Gusty Gulch, and Tubba Blubba's Castle.
The mansion consists of puzzles and traps that Mario must solve and get through to even greet Lady Bow. It has three floors.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Boo's Mansion (though referred to only as "the mansion") is briefly mentioned by Bow, who appears (alongside Bootler) at Poshley Heights after the game is beaten. Apparently, it was a prolonged amount of time spent at the mansion that inspired Bow to take her vacation to Poshley Heights.
The concept of a mansion haunted by ghosts and filled with puzzles has been used in other Mario games as well, most notably Super Mario World and Luigi's Mansion. Also, the Ghost House featured in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix looks extremely similar to Boo's Mansion, including similar Boo portraits and chandeliers.

A yummy dinner dish. I'd give it five starts except that it didn't reheat well.
I like Greek, so most anything that says Greek catches my eye. Glad I checked this one out. Very good, how ever I made it using spaghetti squash that I had. I'm sure it would be just as yummy with whole wheat spaghetti, maybe even better. Thanks for sharing

Summer Closure
October Gallery will be closed to the public from 1st Aug to 7th September. During this period we are open by appointment. Please call 0207 242 7367 or email email@example.com
Current Exhibition
First UK solo show
30 June – 30 July 2016
October Gallery, London, is pleased to announce its forthcoming exhibition of new works by Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga. This will be the artist's first exhibition at the gallery, and his first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom. A private view will be held on 29th June.
Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga is one of the most exciting young artists working in Africa today. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1991, he trained at the Kinshasa Academy of Arts and has founded the dynamic Congolese art collective 'M'Pongo', representative of the creative vibrancy to be found in modern Kinshasa.
In his present series 'Mangbetu', Kamuanga Ilunga has explored the predicament of the Mangbetu people, an ethnic group of warrior extraction in the DRC, whose culture is being threatened by a desire to modernise. The DRC is the world's largest exporter of coltan, a raw material used in computer chips and mobile phones, and Kamuanga Ilunga pays equal reference to both this modern industry and the traditional culture of the Mangbetu, bringing their vibrant fabrics, symbolic objects and daily rituals into confrontation with the digital imagery of the present day. His paintings possess a monumental quality that is both heroic and elegiac, with a striking and sophisticated interplay of intensity and emptiness, two and three dimensions, and Congolese pattern painted as European drapery.
Kamuanga Ilunga's work has been exhibited across Africa, notably at Dak'Art; Biennale OFF Senegal in 2014, and made its London debut at the Saatchi Gallery's Panagaea II in 2015. The enormous excitement around the 24-year-old artist at London's 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair in 2015 and at New York's Armory Show in 2016 was compounded by an article in the FT's How to Spend It, which employed his work 'Lost' to represent The Best of New York Armory 2016.
Forthcoming Exhibition
8 – 30 September 2016
This collaborative exhibition presents work by pioneering Ghanaian photographer James Barnor, and award winning Italian photographer Daniele Tamagni. Featuring Barnor's analogue photographs of London's growing multicultural metropolis during the 'swinging 60s' and Ghana in the 50s, along with new works by Tamagni of striking fashion sub cultures throughout contemporary Africa. This exhibition follows the launch of the publications: 'Ever Young', by James Barnor and 'Fashion Tribes', by Daniele Tamagni.
Daniele Tamagni, an Italian photographer, trained as an art historian before travelling worldwide to document colourful fashion subcultures. Shooting style in locations outside of the presumed fashion contexts such Brazzaville, Johannesburg, Nairobi and Dakar, Tamagni seeks and finds individualistic identity. In 2007 he won the Canon Young Photographer Award with a project about the Congolese dandys, Sapeurs of Brazzaville and in 2010 won the ICP, Infinity Award; fashion category. Tamagni's subjects are reflective of James Barnor's models of the 60s with fashion aiding their nonchalant confidence.
James Barnor, born in Accra, Ghana in 1929, began, like many of his contemporaries on the continent, by setting up a studio which was visited by general public as well as dignitaries. Working for the Daily Graphic, as their first photojournalist, and Drum magazine, the influential anti-apartheid journal for lifestyle and politics, developed his career rapidly. After moving to the UK in 1959, he continued to work on commissions for Drum, in London, shooting multinational models for its covers. Barnor's portraits depict the self-assurance and individualistic fashion trends that dominated.
Style dictated the identity of Londoners during the sixties but continues to do so in contemporary society. Tamagni shines light on the renaissance happening in developing economies and the power of fashion to push economic and cultural boundaries today.

Govinda Sah 'Azad'
19 May – 25 June 2016
October Gallery, London, presents Boundless Possibilities a solo exhibition by Govinda Sah 'Azad', comprised of mixed media works on canvas.
This summer's exhibition marksSah's third showing at October Gallery. Born in Nepal, where he studied Fine Arts at Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, before completing his MFA at Wimbledon College of Arts, in 2008, Sah now lives and works in London.
Effortlessly balancing traditional eastern metaphysical insights about the nature of reality with visual realisations that are in accord with the latest formulations of contemporary western science, Govinda Sah imagines a cosmos of boundless possibilities. A painter of tempestuous skies and cosmic explosions, Sah is drawn towards the unknown, intuitively shaping a response to the question: How was the universe created? Sah cannot conceive a universe without logic and purpose and yet his impulse is to 'seek the sacred'.
Pushing boundaries in his new work, Sah physically engages with the jute and wooden stretchers of his canvases, creating deep openings, minute holes and shaped frames. Whilst still retaining his intricate painterly skills, carefully textured layers of paint are combined with more three-dimensional objects such as beads and hair to bring the evolving cosmos out of the flat plane. Sah also incorporates the use of fire, drawing from the very inspiration of his works; light. Just as light consumes darkness, he allows a flame to take over his canvases, its smoke forming natural peaks that evoke turbulent skies. Glimpses of precise graphical lines are visible through the intricate layers as the artist's fascination with space aesthetically engages both science and mathematics.
Sokari Douglas Camp
7 April - 14 May 2016
Internationally renowned sculptor, Sokari Douglas Camp, creates her works primarily in steel. Her often large-scale sculptures make frequent reference to her Nigerian roots, at the same time, encompassing contemporary international issues. Douglas Camp studied fine art at the Central School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art. She has represented Britain and Nigeria in a number of exhibitions and has had more than 40 solo shows worldwide. Her work is in the permanent collections of the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Setagaya Art Museum, Tokyo and the British Museum, London.
Primavera brings together major new sculptures which focus on the reinterpretation of familiar figures from the European classical tradition. The large work Europe supported by Africa and America, recreates and adapts an 18th century engraving by William Blake. This intricate composition features three female figures touching and supporting each other, dressed in contemporary clothing remnant of high fashion in Nigeria. The central figure holds a long wreath which grows into a fuel hose – the whole composition offers a wry commentary on social issues and their ramifications for wider environmental concerns. Other works reconfigure detailed scenes adapted from well-known Botticelli paintings, in which the instantly recognisable figures metamorphose into more modern icons of contemporary culture and society.
Douglas Camp is one of the winners of the memorial for Ken Saro-Wiwa in London, and was one of the shortlisted artists for the Fourth Plinth in 2003. She collaborated with Ground Force to create an African Garden for the British Museum, as part of Africa '05. In 2005, she was awarded a CBE in recognition of her services to art. Her critically acclaimed work Battle Bus travelled to Nigeria last year as part of Action Saro-Wiwa, a campaign to clean up the Niger Delta, eliciting nationwide support after having been held by local government officials.
El Anatsui
4 February - 2 April 2016
El Anatsui, recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 56th Venice Biennale, is one of the most exciting artists of our time. This exhibition will present a new body of work by the artist that further explores the possibilities of the artist's iconic bottle-top sculptures.
Throughout a distinguished forty-year career as both sculptor and teacher – he was Professor of Sculpture and Departmental Head at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka – El Anatsui has addressed a vast range of social, political and historical concerns, and embraced an equally diverse range of media and processes. His installations have provoked wide international attention, with institutions and audiences fascinated by these sumptuous, mesmerising works made from thousands of aluminium bottle tops. During the Venice Biennale in 2007, he transformed the facade of the Palazzo Fortuny by draping it in a shimmering wall sculpture. In 2010, two major touring shows of his work opened on opposite sides of the world: El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You About Africa at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada (organised by the Museum for African Art, New York) and A Fateful Journey: Africa in the Works of El Anatsui at the National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka, Japan. As part of the 2012 Paris Triennale, he transformed the entire facade of Le Palais Galleria, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris with his striking work, Broken Bridge. In 2013, the Brooklyn Museum, New York, USA, exhibited the touring solo exhibition, Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, presented the artist with the prestigious Charles Wollaston Award for his work, TSIATSIA – searching for connection, 2013, which covered the entire facade of the RA building. In 2014, he was made an Honorary Royal Academician as well as elected into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Tekken creator interested in PS Vita possibilities
Katsuhiro Harada, the father of Tekken, doesn't have anything in the works for PS Vita, but he's intrigued by the possibility of GPS-based features for the fighter.
"We have so much Tekken at the moment … Even though there's a list of things I would like to do, and Vita is one of them, it's hard to do that at this point. But I'm interested in the hardware," the producer told Eurogamer.
"… There are some ideas that interest me, such as the GPS feature.
"There's a thing in Tekken called ghosts where a certain CPU character will have a player-like name and will perform in a way a human opponent might. They have a ranking and everything.
"So these ghosts, if you could perhaps leave your own ghost on a certain coordinate based on your GPS location, and another player, if they come to that location, they can battle your ghost or collect it or something.
"That would make it interesting to go to different locations and meet different ghosts and collect them. That's one thing that interests me."
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 arrives in Japanese arcade this summer, while the Capcom-developed Street Fighter x Tekken is the next cab off the ranks.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The owner of a Birmingham-area construction company has been indicted on charges of employing
illegal immigrants.
Prosecutors said 38-year-old Beverly Linan of Alabaster was named in a three-count indictment filed Wednesday in federal court. She is accused of harboring and employing people who were in the country illegally.
Linan owned and operated Rodriguez Construction Co., which performed masonry work throughout Jefferson and Shelby counties.
Linan did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Court records did not indicate whether she has hired a defense attorney. She could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years imprisonment and fined $250,000 if convicted on all counts.

Course Descriptions
Please note that course descriptions are subject to change.
Academic Writing/LRW IIA (Farber) – This course is aimed at two groups of LLM students: students with an interest in academic careers; and those with an interest in producing legal scholarship alongside their work as practitioners or judges. The course emphasizes the in-depth legal analysis required for academic publication. The course will include exploration of differences between U.S. legal scholarship and traditional scholarship in civil law and commonwealth countries. Students will also learn about different schools of U.S. legal scholarship and engage in-depth analysis and discussion of leading law review articles. Students will prepare written work typical of legal scholarship, involving sophisticated analysis of legal and related materials, and they will receive written and oral feedback from the Instructor. Written work will include a substantial project that would provide the foundation for a full-scale law review article.
Admission to the course requires instructor approval; to apply, email a brief statement (100-200 words) by March 1 to firstname.lastname@example.com indicating your reasons for wanting to take the course and how it will benefit you. A writing subscore of at least 25 on the TOEFL or 7.0 on IELTS is preferred. You will be notified of your admission to the course by March 30.
Administrative Law (Bhagwat)- This course will consider the creation and control of the modern administrative state, and of corporate regulation in the United States.
Topics will include the structure of administrative agencies and their place in a governing scheme of separated but overlapping powers, delegation of authority to agencies, types and requirements of agency decision-making, availability and scope of judicial review, and other forms of agency oversight.
The course will consider examples from the most important policy areas, including environmental law, financial regulation, national security, health care, food and drugs, and telecommunications. It will also seek to identify ways that the US approach to administrative law may contrast with that of other countries.
Antitrust (Dibadj) – The course covers United States federal antitrust law which regulates competition among business enterprises. It explores cartels, monopolies and mergers. We will discuss both horizontal agreements among competitors, as well as vertical restraints of trade between suppliers and customers. Competing economic conceptions of the antitrust law, as well as current doctrinal and policy debates, will be explored throughout.
Business Associations (Cable/Q2;Dibadj/Q3)- This course is an overview of the law of business associations. We begin by discussing the core common law principles of agency and partnership before turning the bulk of our attention to the law governing corporations. We will discuss choice of law considerations for corporations, shareholder voting, executive compensation, the structure of financial markets, fiduciary obligations of officers and directors, shareholder litigation, and mergers & acquisitions. Throughout, we will be interested in how the law allocates rights and responsibilities to corporate constituencies: owners, managers, creditors, employees, customers, and suppliers. The governance of a corporation is complicated because it is a multi-party economic relationship, requiring that we investigate problems of collective action, free riding, private information, distribution, and opportunism. The law of business associations regulates and addresses these concerns.
This course is a prerequisite for Securities Law and Mergers & Acquisitions.
Civil Procedure (O'Connell) – This Civil Procedure course covers much of the standard JD Civil Procedure course. In the summer quarter, we will cover the following topics in varying levels of detail: due process/adversary system, pleading, jurisdiction and venue, discovery, disposition without trial, settlement, trial, juries, preclusion, and joinder. We will also observe federal court proceedings.
Constitutional Law (Abrams) – This is an introductory course on constitutional law. The first part of the course will focus on controversies surrounding judicial power, including methods of interpretation, judicial authority to invalidate unconstitutional statutes or judicial review, and some limits on the exercise of judicial power. The second and third parts of the course will focus on the structural dimensions of constitutions, such as frameworks for separation of powers and federalism. Finally, the fourth part of the course will examine constitutional protection of rights. The primary focus will be on the U.S. Constitution, but the course will also engage these issues from a comparative perspective as well.
Contracts (Cole/Q1; Bayern/Q2) – This course explores the U.S. common law principles governing the formation of, limits on the ability to enter into, breach and enforcement of, and remedies relating to, contracts. Students will also study the related principles embodied in the Uniform Commercial Code, a model for the law shaping sales and other commercial transactions.
Copyright Law (Depoorter) – This course is a study of U.S. federal copyright law as it pertains to works of art, motion pictures, music, literature, and software. The course will concentrate on the scope of copyright protected subject-matter, the exclusive rights granted to creators of "original works of authorship", the nature of the infringement actions, and defenses such as "fair use."
The course also examines recent developments concerning copyright and digital technology. We will explore issues relating to digital piracy and review the role of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the liability of on-line intermediaries for copyright infringement, and the enforcement efforts relating to peer-to-peer file-sharing. The course also covers supplementary state rights, such as the right of publicity and moral rights.
Corporate Finance (Talley) – Corporate Finance is an introductory finance course for law students. No prior background in finance or accounting (or law, for that matter) is required, but a willingness to work with numbers and financial data is important. The objective of the course is to supplement your legal training by introducing the fundamental theoretical principles of finance and of the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.
We will cover the following topics:

The course will consist of approximately one-half lecture and one-half in-class case discussions, for which students should prepare carefully.
Cybersecurity (Dempsey) – Corporations, non-profits and government agencies holding sensitive data are under constant cyberattack. Through the lens of a cybersecurity breach, this course will explore the range of legal questions posed when a data breach occurs, including questions of criminal law, privacy, civil liability, regulatory enforcement, and national security law and the law of war. It will seek to offer insights on governance and risk management relevant to in-house counsel, private attorneys and government officials. While the focus be on U.S. law and policy, reference will be made to international norms (such as exist). Enrolled students will be required to complete readings on bCourses before the first day of class.
Drafting Transactional Documents (Reichmann) – This course will focus on drafting, reviewing, and negotiating business documents. It will serve as an introduction to common contract provisions and basic tools of analysis and negotiation. Using actual business agreements we will focus on the necessary constitutive components and the elements of clear, unambiguous and effective drafting. Students will learn how to structure and format a contract and will negotiate and draft contract provisions using an online drafting practicum.
Energy Law (Schraub) – This course provides an overview of the history of energy use, the relationship between energy and national security, environmental and environmental justice impacts of energy generation; the fundamentals of electricity generation, transmission and distribution, rate regulation, competition and monopoly markets, and a diagnosis of deregulation, including lessons learned from the California deregulation of electricity markets. It will also include legal issues relating to oil and gas resource allocation, conservation, development and transportation,. As the US is a leader in oil and gas exploration and refining, and California was a pioneer in deregulating markets for electricity, learning about the lessons learned from the US systems and structures will give students an understanding about the major challenges in regulating and executing energy transactions. Students who take the class should be able to take the lessons learned from the US context and apply those lessons to legal and policy problems in their home countries.
Environmental Law (Biber) – This course provides an overview of the wide variety of U.S. environmental laws that protect the environment and natural resources. We will cover air and water pollution, protection of biodiversity, review of the environmental impacts of governmental decisions, and climate change, among other topics. The focus of the class will be on exploring the wide range of regulatory and policy tools available in environmental law for example, command-and-control regulation, tradable emissions permits, and environmental reviews. We will also discuss issues relating to environmental justice, public participation in environmental decision making, and the costs and benefits of environmental regulation. Because the US has historically been a pioneer in environmental law, learning about the US system will give students a deep understanding about the major issues and dilemmas in environmental law. Students who take the class should be able to take the lessons learned from the US context and apply those lessons to legal and policy problems in their home countries.
Instruction will be provided by Berkeley law environmental law faculty. These faculty have a diverse range of expertise in the field of environmental law.
Evidence (Roth) – This course examines the Anglo-American law of proof, with special attention to the Federal Rules of Evidence in the United States. Topics include relevance, hearsay, confrontation, character evidence, authentication, competency, impeachment and rehabilitation, expert witnesses, scientific evidence, privileges, presumptions, and judicial notice.
Fundamentals of US Law (Fernholz/Q1; Farhang/Q2) – Fundamentals of U.S. Law introduces foreign law students to the fundamental principles of the American legal system and the common-law method of case analysis. In this course, students will focus on crucial doctrines that underpin American governance, including federalism and separation of powers. Students will also study the structure of the U.S. court system, the sources of U.S. law, the lawyer's role in the system, and the culture of the law in this country. The course will introduce students to techniques associated with the common law, particularly the close reading of legal opinions in the context of prior precedent.
International Business Negotiations (Finkelstein) – This course is structured around a simulated negotiation exercise in which half of the students in this class will represent a multi-national pharmaceutical company (KJH Pharmaceutical Corporation) and the other half of the students will represent an African agricultural production company (Malundian Cassava Corporation). The two companies are interested in working together to exploit a new technology developed by KJH Pharmaceutical that uses the cassava produced by Malundian Cassava Corporation. The form of their collaboration could be a joint venture, a licensing agreement or a long term supply contract. The negotiations will take place through written exchanges and through live negotiations.
The purpose of the course is to provide students with an opportunity (i) to experience the sequential development of a business transaction over an extended negotiation, (ii) to study the businesses and legal issues and strategies that impact the negotiation, (iii) to gain insight into the dynamics of negotiating and structuring international business transactions, (iv) to learn about the role that lawyers and law play in these negotiations, (v) to give students experience in drafting communications, and (vi) to provide negotiating experience in a context that replicates actual legal practice.
The thrust of this course is class participation and active involvement in the negotiations process. Students are expected to spend time outside of class, working in teams, to prepare for class discussions involving the written exchanges as well as to prepare for the live negotiations. Class discussions will focus on the strategy for, and progress of, the negotiations, as well as the substantive legal, business and policy matters that impact on the negotiations.
International Business Transactions (Dodge) – The course provides an examination of the contractual and regulatory issues that arise when business dealings cross borders. It is structured in two parts. Part I consists of a discussion of the environment of international business, including dispute resolution, the place of international law in the US legal system, and the extraterritorial application of domestic law.
Part II then builds upon this framework to explore eight representative transactions that lawyers advising businesses are likely to encounter: (i) export sales, (ii) agency and distributorship, (iii) licensing, (iv) foreign direct investment, (v) mergers and acquisitions, (vi) joint ventures, (vii) development (concession) agreements, and (viii) international debt instruments.
US, foreign, and international legal rules will be explored throughout the course.
International Environmental Law (Farber) – This course focuses on the role of international law in managing environmental and natural resource issues that extend beyond national boundaries, including global problems like climate change and regional problems such as disputes over international rivers. Students will benefit from but need not have taken courses in international law and or environmental law. The course will include a brief overview of public international law as it relates to the environment. We will seek to gain a realistic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of international law in this area. The class will include discussions of general principle and concrete applications of those principles to specific environmental problems.
International Human Rights 1 (Mohamed) – This course critically examines the international and domestic laws, actors, and institutions that play a role in the protection of human rights. The course includes discussion of conceptual foundations of human rights; controversial topics in human rights law, such as humanitarian intervention, universal jurisdiction, and the death penalty; international, regional, and national mechanisms for the interpretation, implementation, and enforcement of human rights, including civil, criminal, and non-legal methods of redress; and challenges to human rights enforcement and strategies for promoting protection of human rights.
International Litigation & Arbitration (Yoo/Bradt) – This course provides an introduction to procedural issues that arise in the litigation or arbitration of international disputes in the United States. This course covers topics such as personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, venue, forum nonconveniens, choice of law and forum, enforcement of agreements, and arbitrability. The course will address topics unique to international litigation and arbitration, such as the Act of State doctrine, Foreign Sovereign Immunity, challenges to arbitration, and enforcement of awards.
Introduction to IP (Menell) – This course is intended for students who are interested in a general overview of intellectual property. The course begins with an analysis of the competing policies underlying the intellectual property laws. It covers the basics of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret (and other state IP-related areas of) law, as well as some of the salient controversies in intellectual property law, including patent protection for software and business methods, copyright enforcement challenges posed by the Internet age, the role and difficulties of protecting trademarks on the Internet, and the application of common law doctrines to the Internet.
Legal Ethics (Budner/Q3; Langford/Q4) – This course is a practical exploration of the varied and often competing duties and influences that guide lawyers' conduct.
These duties derive largely from written ethical rules and case law. The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct have been adopted in one form or another by almost every state except California. The MPRE exam is based on these rules. We will look closely at them. We will also consider the major differences between the ABA Model Rules and California's rules.
But we will drill much more deeply than a mere study of rules and cases. This course will challenge you to understand the limitations of the rules and to reflect on how you would (or do) conduct yourselves when facing a variety of ethical dilemmas.
We will explore a range of ethical problems faced by practicing lawyers. We will consider litigation and transactional matters, civil and criminal cases, and the particular concerns of prosecutors and other government lawyers. We will assess the kinds of ethical and moral decisions lawyers must make and the many consequences of those decisions.
This course will NOT follow a traditional lecture format. Classes will contain brief lectures but will primarily feature an extended conversation among the whole class about a series of current ethical cases and hypothetical problems. The hypos are designed to mirror genuine practice situations.
The problems largely defy the idea of a "correct" answer. We will focus on those difficult cases that fall in the interstices of the rules, a place where common sense and a moral compass offer necessary guidance. They are intended to draw out varying points of view. You are encouraged to offer your own experiences and values as well as your country's different approaches into the discussions.
Legal Research & Writing I – This two-unit class develops LL.M. students' skills in U.S. legal reasoning and practice through a series of writing, research, and presentation assignments. Instruction takes place in small sections led by instructors with extensive legal practice experience. Students learn how to read and analyze cases, locate and select precedent, and construct legal arguments in the U.S. common-law system. The course will include predictive writing, persuasive writing, and oral presentations. Research instruction is integrated into the writing assignments. Students also learn basic U.S. legal citation form and rules of attribution to authority. In addition to a series of shorter assignments, students will end the course with a 15-page paper that meets the Capstone Writing Requirement for the LL.M. degree. Students will also present an oral defense of the written legal analysis. The course is graded on the NC/PC/P/H/HH system with a curve, Pass (50%), Honors (30%), and High Honors (20%).
Legal Research & Writing II – This second summer of LRW for LLM's builds on the skills introduced in the first summer. This course aims to improve students' familiarity with U.S. legal reasoning and practice and to develop the skills needed to maneuver skillfully through and understand U.S. legal culture.
In the second summer this course, the program emphasizes persuasive advocacy–written and oral. Students will prepare a legal brief while increasing research and writing skills. Students will submit draft sections of the throughout the semester, receive feedback, and then revise and submit a final version. The 15- to 20-page final version of the writing assignment can be used as the student's capstone writing project. Students will also be introduced to U.S. oral advocacy, practicing oral presentations throughout the semester and culminating in an oral argument at the end of the semester.
Instruction takes place in small sections led by attorneys with extensive legal practice experience. As in the first summer, research instruction is integrated into the writing assignments. Students also continue to improve their skills at U.S. legal citation form.
The course is graded on the NC/PC/P/H/HH system, and the instructor will give two awards per section: Best Brief and Best Oral Advocate.
Legal Research & Writing IIA (Academic Writing) (Farber) – This course is aimed at two groups of LLM students: students with an interest in academic careers; and those with an interest in producing legal scholarship alongside their work as practitioners or judges. The course emphasizes the in-depth legal analysis required for academic publication. The course will include exploration of differences between U.S. legal scholarship and traditional scholarship in civil law and commonwealth countries. Students will also learn about different schools of U.S. legal scholarship and engage in-depth analysis and discussion of leading law review articles. Students will prepare written work typical of legal scholarship, involving sophisticated analysis of legal and related materials, and they will receive written and oral feedback from the Instructor. Written work will include a substantial project that would provide the foundation for a full-scale law review article.
A writing subscore of at least 25 on the TOEFL or 7.0 on IELTS is preferred. Admission to the course requires instructor approval.
Legislation and Statutory Interpretation (Ross) – The purpose of this course is to introduce students to lawmaking and statutory interpretation by courts and agencies. It will examine the way Congress adopts statutes and the way that courts and agencies interpret and apply statutes. The course will consider theories and tools of statutory interpretation, the structure of the modern administrative state, the incentives that influence the behavior of the various actors, and the legal rules that help to structure the relationship among Congress, the agencies, and the courts.
Mergers & Acquisitions (Davidoff Solomon/Q1; Velikonja/Q2) – This course introduces the fundamentals of and critical topics in mergers and acquisitions law, as well as the financial and transactional issues that they present. The principal focus of the course will be on the key drivers of M&A activity, the business incentives of the parties to the transactions, and the documentation and negotiation of the deals. Tax, antitrust, securities and other regulatory issues will play a role as well.
Students will explore mergers and acquisitions transactions as attempts by the transaction parties to attain business goals and will learn how legal rules and documentation constrain and create opportunity for the parties' ability to achieve their objectives.
In addition to case law, this course will spend a fair amount of time reviewing, analyzing and drafting deal documents (or portions of such documents). Students will analyze and learn to understand how core provisions of an acquisition agreement are negotiated to create value for and allocate risks among the parties.
Because this is intended to be a capstone course, Business Associations (Law 250) or its equivalent is a prerequisite for this class.
Negotiations (Notini/Q2; Epstein/Q3) – This course will introduce you to a variety of approaches to negotiations, improve your negotiation skills, and help you reflect on your own negotiation style.
The structure of this course emphasizes both theoretical and experiential learning. Since negotiation is something you learn by doing, we will engage in hands-on negotiation simulations throughout the course. These simulations are designed to enhance your skills, demonstrate concepts, and provide you with opportunities to experiment with various negotiation techniques. In addition, we will discuss theories of negotiation and use them to analyze the simulated negotiations. As a result, we will move back and forth between theory and practice, applying lessons from theory to our negotiation practice, and drawing lessons from our experience to critique theory.
We will examine a variety of contexts and problems that create a need for negotiation and raise questions about what it means to negotiate well. Also, we will explore a systematic approach to negotiation that we think constitutes good advice about what to do when your interests or beliefs are in tension with others' and you cannot act unilaterally. We will also situate this model in a broader field of intellectual inquiry and discuss its special implications for lawyers.
Partnerships & LLCs (Buxbaum/Kuenzle) – An Introduction to the New Forms of Organized Enterprise Activity — Agency and UN corporations – This course deals with an issue of increasing importance for any lawyer contemplating a transactional corporate practice. LLCs and partnerships of all sorts–the "un-corporations"–have become the form of choice for most businesses, large and small, simple and sophisticated. The course will examine the differences and similarities among such business entities; how they are created, managed and operated; and the fiduciary and other relationships among the participants in each form. Issues of choice of entity in the context of common business transactions will be considered. The course will include an introduction to the drafting of these often complex contractual arrangements.
Patent Law (Merges) – This course will cover the core concepts of U.S. patent law with special focus on the issues of patent reform that have been raised over the past few years. Using the perspective of an inventor or entrepreneur, we will examine how patents are used as a business tool to commercialize new technologies and innovations. We will also consider fundamental policy questions about the current patent system such as whether it favors big institutions over independent inventors or start-ups and whether it inhibits scientific research and access to medicines.
Policy, Politics and Problem Solving – This nuts and bolts course in public policy will focus on defining policy problems, evaluating policy alternatives, and constructing political strategies to foster public engagement. Participants will learn how to use leadership skills and strategic thinking to create innovative solutions and foster change within complex organizations. In-class assignments will offer the opportunity to put ideas to action by tackling challenging policy problems, such as improving educational outcomes and reducing rates of crime.
Privacy Law (Schwarz) – Ten years ago, a handful of practitioners could be called "privacy lawyers," but now thousands consider themselves to concentrate in information privacy law. Today almost all modern businesses need advice about information privacy law. While the roots of privacy law in the US started with a right to be let alone, modern business models, the needs of the administrative state, law enforcement priorities, and our own behavior complicate approaches based upon seclusion or secrecy. This course will explore the roots of US privacy law, its evolution in the 20th century, and the challenges of regulating information in the modern era where institutions and "data subjects" need and reveal information constantly, but also seek basic dignity and safety from harm. Privacy law consists of torts, contracts, constitutional law, statutory law, and soft law norms.
Securities Regulation (Thompson/Q3; Gadinis/Q4) – This course provides an overview of the regulation of securities offerings and trading under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The course explores the elaborate disclosure obligations that this country imposes on the distribution and trading of investment securities as well as the role of the Securities and Exchange Commission and private plaintiffs in shaping and enforcing these disclosure obligations. Topics to be covered include: public offerings of securities and the registration process under the Securities Act of 1933, exemptions from these registration requirements and the role of exemptions in the financing of private and public firms, and the disclosure obligations of publicly-traded issuers. The course will also examine the role of anti-fraud rules in the issuance and trading of securities as well as liability for insider trading.
Torts (Gergen) – The course covers the basic principles and rules of negligence law in the US. There is also brief coverage of the law of products liability. The course also is a good introduction to the American civil litigation system and the important role played by the jury.

Elements users send me lots of emails like this:
- My layer mask doesn't work
- The new action I just installed doesn't work
- I run an action and nothing changes
I've been using Elements for many years now, and I've never once encountered a broken layer mask.
Friends, it's user error. Layer masks don't break. And I'm saying this with a smile because I've been there myself, multiple times. Let's end the layer mask mystery once and for all!
If you need a basic tutorial on layer masks in PSE, start here. And then, when you think you've got masking down but your mask isn't behaving like you think it should, come back to this article.
Layer Mask Troubleshooting
- Make sure the regular brush tool is selected – not the Impressionist Brush or one of the others hiding under the regular brush tool
- Check that the brush Blend Mode is Normal. This particular setting is haunted and has been known to change frequently without the user knowing about it.
- Turn brush opacity all the way to 100% to make sure you can see its changes,
- Is the brush the right size? If it's too big or too small, you might not see it at all.
- The layer must be turned on with its eyeball showing and active for editing (highlighted).
- Make sure the layer mask is active for editing (has a white outline around it).
- If all else fails, reset All Tools using the arrow just above the Tool Box
- Sometimes, after running an action, you won't see any changes. Check these items:
- Is the layer turned on? If no eyeball is visible on the left of the layers panel, that means the layer is off. Click it to turn on.
- Is the opacity of the layer at least 1%? If the layer opacity is 0%, that means the action maker wants you to increase the opacity in order to turn on the layer.
- Is the layer mask black? Remember that with layer masks, black conceals and white reveals. If the layer mask is black, the effects of the layer are hidden until you paint them in with a white brush.
Never let those layer masks in Elements make you think they're broken. They're not!

Oh my Gosh! You saved me from the insanity of figuring out my brush and layer mask mystery. Thank You!
John Church

Disclaimer: I'm going to email you occasional updates about bojerky. Don't get this jerky if you've got food allergies. Don't get this jerky if eating certain foods makes you sick. If you're worried about jerky when you get it, don't eat it, I'll refund you.. If you want to eat it despite me saying this, check out the manufacturing company's website. This is pretty basic stuff, I think. If you see me on the street and I'm eating jerky and you said you read the disclaimer, you can have my jerky.

Cepheid (CPHD +5.2%) ramps higher after reporting preliminary Q4 results, saying its EPS should come in just above its prior guidance of $0.10 to $0.12 a share due to a favorable revenue mix. Analysts have been expecting a $0.02 per share net loss for the quarter. Revenue is expected to be below its prior view however, driven by weaker clinical revenue from high-burden developing countries
