Student Rebels Take Over New School Building, Again
And again, they're demanding the resignation of Bob Kerrey.
Once again, two groups of student protesters have taken over a New School building near Union Square. According to NY1, the graduate faculty building at 65 Fifth Avenue is now controlled by about 60 students from a group calling themselves "The New School in Exile" and the Radical Student Union.
"Our demand for them to resign is consistent with the faculty's 'no confidence' vote in Bob Kerrey," said student Andy Folk. "That demand was not met. Other demands were met, such as starting a socially-responsible investment committee, which Bob Kerrey is trying to bury in red tape. So, we need to show him by force and civil disobedience that students have a right over the school that they pay money for. This is just a demonstration of students taking back their space."
This is similar to the occupation that occurred in December, during which students sparred with police and eventually chased Bob Kerrey down the street and threw a tomato at him. At the moment, more students are gathering at the intersection of Fifth and 13th Street to check out the action. We'll keep you posted if anything (more) crazy happens.

LONDON, Sept 20 Banning bets on falling share prices in the European Union has not damaged prices or ramped up volatility on stock markets, the bloc's securities regulator said on Friday, largely refuting market players' concerns.
Curbs on so-called short-selling of government debt have, however, hit turnover in a few cases, according to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in its first study of new EU short-selling rules.
Short-selling, or "shorting", usually involves someone borrowing a financial instrument and then selling it, hoping the price will fall so they can make a profit when they buy it back to cover their position.
The EU rules, which include coordinating temporary short-selling bans and requiring short-sellers to report positions above a certain threshold, came into force last November after politicians accused hedge funds of worsening the banking and euro zone debt crises by shorting bank shares and using credit default swaps (CDS) to short bonds of debt-laden governments.
Critics argued that temporary bans on short-selling would hamper the ability of markets to come up with prices and would generate swings in prices.
"Temporary bans do not seem to have a significant impact on price formation," ESMA said in its study.
"Temporary bans do not seem to have a significant impact on price volatility, and have a small positive impact on returns ... of the shares under short-selling restriction," it added.
Trading volume was hit in some cases, however, something which market participants had predicted.
ESMA said there were 12,603 notifications related to 4,000 short positions between November 2012 and the end of February, with a third from Britain, the EU's biggest share trading centre.
The average size of short-selling positions reported was 28.3 million euros for shares, and 2.9 billion euros for sovereign debt.
Most of those shorting the stock market were hedge funds and fund management companies, with only five banks among the 50 biggest holders of short positions.
Data so far suggests that relatively few players were using short-selling as an active strategy for trading, ESMA said.
Over 80 percent of shorts reported were held by firms based in Britain and the United States, while the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, two popular hedge fund homes, also featured.
ESMA said initial evidence did not back some of the concerns expressed by debt market participants about short-selling, but that CDS liquidity in a few specific countries and instruments did experience a significant deterioration.
"Overall, liquidity in the EU sovereign CDS market did not decrease significantly after the regulation entered into force," ESMA said.

Apple Profit Rises 78% on Demand for IPads, IPhones
Apple Inc., whose Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs said yesterday he is taking a medical leave of absence, posted a 78 percent jump in quarterly profit, helped by holiday buying of iPads, iPhones and Macintosh computers.
Net income in the fiscal first quarter rose to $6 billion, or $6.43 a share, from $3.38 billion, or $3.67, a year earlier, Apple said today in a statement. Analysts projected profit of $5.41 a share, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Apple rose as much as 4.8 percent in extended trading.
Sales increased 71 percent to a record $26.7 billion, exceeding the $24.4 billion predicted by analysts in a Bloomberg survey. The company sold 7.33 million iPad tablet computers in the first holiday season for the device, topping the 6 million projected by Mike Abramsky at RBC Capital Markets LLC. The results suggest Apple will fare well in the coming months as Jobs hands day-to-day operations to Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, said Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw LLC.
"It was a blowout quarter," said Kumar, who's based in Palo Alto, California. "The momentum should sustain for the next 12 months with the iPad and iPhone refresh. The uncertainty investors have to prepare for is beyond that time frame in terms of the company's ability to execute in this flawless manner and develop new markets." He rates Apple a "buy" and doesn't own it.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, climbed to as high as $357 in extended trading, after earlier falling $7.83 to $340.65 at 4 p.m. New York time on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The shares rose 53 percent last year. The company is the world's second-most valuable company behind Exxon Mobil Corp.
'Well-Oiled Machine'
Jobs, 55, who has been fighting a rare form of cancer since 2004, said in an e-mail disclosed yesterday, "I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can."
The company is likely to fare well under Cook, said Barry Jaruzelski, a partner at Booz & Co.
"It's a well-oiled machine," said Jaruzelski. Jobs's "ethos and things he focuses on from marketing and innovation are deeply embedded in the process and people, making it an institutional capability," he said.
Apple sold 16.2 million iPhones, 4.13 million Mac computers and 19.5 million iPod media players, according to the statement. Abramsky at RBC Capital Markets predicted sales of 16 million iPhones, 6 million iPads, 18.7 million iPods and 4.2 million Macs.
More Products Coming
Apple, whose potential U.S. customer base for the iPhone will almost double by adding Verizon Wireless as a carrier next month, said profit this quarter will be $4.90 a share on sales of $22 billion.
"We are firing on all cylinders and we've got some exciting things in the pipeline for this year including iPhone 4 on Verizon, which customers can't wait to get their hands on," Jobs said in the statement.
Analysts estimate Apple will have second-quarter profit of $4.47 a share on sales of $20.9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The period will be the first to include sales from Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. carrier, which will begin selling the iPhone on Feb. 10. The arrangement ends AT&T Inc.'s exclusive U.S. rights to the iPhone and adds 93.2 million potential customers for Apple.
The iPhone is Apple's top-selling product, accounting for 39 percent of revenue last fiscal year. The iPad also is becoming a bestselling product for Apple, accounting for 17 percent of revenue last quarter. The company has now sold 14.8 million since it was introduced in April.
Macbooks, Beatles
Gross margin, the percentage of sales left after deducting production costs, was 38.5 percent in the first quarter, compared with 36.9 percent in the fourth quarter.
Apple introduced a lineup of the Macbook Air notebook computers and iPod media players to entice shoppers last quarter, while also adding songs from the Beatles to iTunes for the first time.
Jobs took a leave of absence as his health deteriorates from a bout with a rare form of cancer and the effects of a liver transplant he had almost two years ago, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The CEO has been unable to keep on weight as he undergoes treatment for his conditions, said the person, who requested anonymity because the matter is private. He took two previous leaves -- for cancer surgery in 2004 and the transplant in 2009.
Jobs will continue as the CEO, according to a company statement citing an e-mail he sent to employees. Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 and after being ousted in 1985, he returned in 1997 and transformed it from a computer-industry also-ran into the world's largest technology company by market value.
"I hope he comes back," said Jane Snorek, who helps oversee about $75 billion at Nuveen Asset Management and said Apple is Nuveen's biggest holding. "I don't care who they get, there's no way you can replace Steve Jobs."

Neck-and-neck through the first half, Henry County went on a short spurt in the beginning of the third quarter and broke the game open in the fourth to advance in the 31st District Tournament, defeating Carroll County 72-54 Feb. 24, at Gallatin County High School.
The pee wee cheerleaders performed during halftime of the first game of senior night, Feb. 26.
A brief second quarter run and clutch fourth-quarter free throws were the difference in Carroll County's senior night win over Walton-Verona, 60-57.
"That's a good win," head coach Brian Crank said. "… We didn't shoot the ball well and we still scored a lot of points against them and they play good defense; that's what they're known for. We came out and just competed and competed and competed."
The Carroll County Lady Panthers gave the Gallatin County Lady Wildcats a serious run for their money in the 31st District Tournament Tuesday night. Carroll led much of the night, and the teams were knotted at 39 with less than three minutes to go. But turnovers were the ultimate deciding factor, as Carroll turned it over on the next three trips down the floor, and Gallatin went on a 6-0 run. The Lady Wildcats won the game, 47-41. They will take on Owen County in the 31st District Championship Friday night.
Senior night for the Carroll County Lady Panthers did not start off the way head coach Paul Stone wanted as the Walton-Verona Lady Bearcats defeated Carroll 60-35.
"We got off to a slow start and struggled offensively," Stone said. "I also did a lot of subbing and I felt that hurt our in-game chemistry as I ended up with combinations on the floor that have not played together very much."
Carroll County boys' basketball hit the road for a series of three games before concluding the regular season with a boy/girl double header against Walton-Verona Friday night, Feb.19. Ten seniors will play their last home games for Carroll County. The girls will play at 6 p.m., followed by the boys at 8 p.m.
Carroll traveled to Williamstown Friday night, Feb. 12, and came home with a 74-53 loss.
Fans at the Carroll and Anderson boys' basketball game Feb. 9, definitely got their monies worth, as the two teams battled throughout and took the contest into overtime. Unfortunately for the home team, the Panthers only managed two points in the extra period, outscored 11-2, to lose 87-78.
Carroll head coach Brian Crank was proud of his team's effort against a good Bearcats team.

Picking up where we left off last week, talking about ancient names for Latvian territory – and now we're moving into the Middle Ages, and then medieval and early modern eras!
After the German crusaders invaded and gradually conquered the Baltic and Finnic tribes, they created Terra Mariana – which was first a principality of the Holy Roman Empire, but was then subject instead to the Holy See directly. It was divided into several bishoprics – Courland, Dorpat (Tartu), Osel (Saaremaa) and the archbishopric of Rīga, in addition to the land directly administered by the Livonian Order. With the church, nobility and merchants in constant power struggles, this patchwork of administration was necessary to maintain order (and then there was the local peasantry). Rīga and Tallinn were both rising city powers in their own right, as members of the Hanseatic League.
Terra Mariana – also known as the Livonian Confederation – as such came to an end in 1561, as a result of the Livonian War. The northern part of the confederation became Swedish Estonia, while the southern parts – including all of present-day Latvia, as well as southern Estonia – became a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Here, they formed two duchies – the duchy of Livland, encompassing modern-day southern Estonia and the Latvian provinces of Vidzeme and Latgale, and the duchy of Courland-Semigallia, encompassing the modern-day Latvian provinces of Kurzeme and Zemgale. While under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the German nobility retained most of their power and privileges and controlled day-to-day affairs in the duchies.
Further territorial divisions took place as a result of the Polish-Swedish conflict, and in 1621 the Swedes took over most of Livland, leaving Poland with just a tiny piece – modern-day Latgale, which became the Inflanty Voivodeship. This brought Latgale under direct Polish control and under the control of Catholicism (the Reformation having taken place a century earlier, bringing Lutheranism as the dominant religion in the rest of the Latvian territories). With this division, the stage was set for the future Latvian provinces to arise as they did.
Gradually, all of these Latvian territories – Swedish Livonia (Vidzeme and southern Estonia) in 1721, the Inflanty Voivodeship (Latgale) in 1772 and the Duchy of Courland-Semigallia in 1795 – all came under the Russian crown, and became provinces of the Russian Empire.
Stay tuned next week, when we will talk more about the Russian Empire era!

Seventy-sixth installment from the diary of my great-grandfather's sister Alise, written during the First World War. When the diary starts, she is living just a few miles from the front lines of the Eastern Front, and is then forced to flee with her husband and two young daughters to her family's house near Limbaži as the war moves even closer. Her third child, a son, was born there in February 1916. The family has now relocated (again) to a home near Valmiera, and the Russian Revolution is in full swing. For more background, see here, and click on the tag "diary entries" to see all of the entries that I have posted.
If there is mention of a recognizable historical figure and event, I will provide a Wikipedia link so that you can read more about the events that Alise is describing. It is with this entry here that the calendar in Latvia changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.
August 31, 1918
I am home alone today. The children and the girls are picking mushrooms in the woods. Papa is threshing rye. The threshing machines are singing their sombre autumn song, an entire choir of them around us, roaring and buzzing everywhere.
Another summer dreamt away. Compared to last summer, we are rested and feeling good. Our life, as long as there is peace, is full and not lacking in anything. Our souls also fulfilled living this close to town. On Sunday we celebrated the Bible festival, after that there were three Christian meetings, which were very involved, thanks to many good forces. Men are making plans for the future, about schools, institutions, meetings. Oh if only we could stay here close to town, how great that would be for the children! If God wishes it, it will happen, our thoughts are not His thoughts.
Latvia wasn't always called Latvia – and for most of history, you won't have found a place called "Latvia" on a map. Only in the 20th century did Latvia become an independent country. This also means that if you are looking through historical texts for information about the people who lived here, you need to know what place names to look for – though keep in mind that these place names can be written in many different ways, depending on who was writing them down!
So what should you be looking for? Latvia has gone through many historical periods with many different rulers, so in this post we'll start at the very beginning – well, the earliest documented beginning, at least. Most of these names come from documents from the 10th to 13th centuries, such as the Livonian Chronicle, the Livonian Rhymed Chronicle, feudal charters and documents from the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, the name given to the German crusaders.
These crusaders came to Latvian territory in the late 12th century, when it was divided among a number of small principalities and counties, some of them nominally independent, others as vassal states. The dominant narrative prevalent today is that Christianity came to the Baltic region as a result of the German crusaders, but that isn't entirely true – Christianity had already started to make inroads from the east via Polotsk, and there were several established Orthodox churches in the region.
The largest power in the area was the principality of Polotsk, and a number of Latvian principalities were its vassal states. The most famous one is Jersika, which was also called Letija or Lotgola, and thus provided the root for the modern name of Latvia.
Jersika was under the dominion of the Latgalian tribes, as were the principalities of Atzele, Imera, Koknese, Pietālava and Tālava. The region these covered corresponds to modern-day Latgale and Vidzeme, with the exception of the coastal regions, which were under the control of the Livonians.
The Livonians controlled the area around the Gulf of Rīga, and partway down the western coast of modern-day Latvia. They shared the principality of Idumeja with the Latgalians, and controlled the regions of Metsepole, Turaida, Vanema and Ventava, as well as the area around Rīga. Since the arriving German crusaders made their landfall around the mouth of the Daugava, the Livonians were the first to have contact with these crusaders.
South of the Livonians in Kurzeme were the lands of the Curonians – who, like other coastal peoples, had developed a reputation as sailors and sometimes pirates. They had contacts with the Vikings across the Baltic Sea in Scandinavian lands, both friendly and unfriendly – sometimes allies, sometimes enemies. They also began to move northwards in the 11th and 12th centuries, conquering the regions of Vanema and Ventava. They also controlled the regions of Bandava, Ceklis, Duvzare, Megava, Pilsāts and Piemare. Megava and Pilsāts are now in Lithuania.
The militaristic Semigallians to the east of the Curonians did what they could to defend their territory from neighbours and invaders, making and breaking alliances as it suited them, and as a result, maintained their independence from the crusaders for a longer period. Having initially worked with the Germans against the Livonians and Lithuanians, they later allied with the Curonians and Lithuanians against the Germans. The Semigallians controlled the districts of Dobele, Dobene, Mežotne, Plāne, Silene, Spārnene, Tērvete, Upmale and Žagare. Semigallian territories today are divided between Latvia and Lithuania.
East of the Semigallians and south of the Latgalians there were the Selonians. By the time the German crusaders arrived, they had already partially assimilated with the Latgalians and/or Lithuanians – northern Selonian districts were subject to the principality of Jersika and Koknese, while southern districts were ruled by Lithuanian principalities. This Latgalian character remains in the modern-day area of Selonia (Sēlija, one of the five cultural districts of Latvia), even though most of the past 800 years placed it in a completely different sphere of influence (Lutheran German rather than Polish Catholic or Russian Orthodox). The Selonian districts were called Alektene, Kalvene, Maleisine, Medene, Pelone and Tovrakste. Maleisine, Medene and Pelone are today located in Lithuania.
With the arrival of the German crusaders, many of these districts and borders disappeared – but what did they turn into? For that, come back next week!

This is the last post in a series on Finnic influences in Latvia. You can also read the other posts in the series about Finnic influence on place names and personal names, as well as read about population crossover at the links provided. This and other posts like it are made possible by my patrons at Patreon.
At first glance, it might look like Finnic and Baltic languages are completely unrelated – and indeed they are from different language families, with Baltic languages like Latvian and Lithuanian being Indo-European, while Finnic languages such as Estonian and Livonian are a part of the Finno-Ugric language family. If you were to look at a random sample of text from the languages, you probably also wouldn't see very many similarities. But that all depends on the sample of text:
Estonian: Me läksime mõisast turule, et porgandeid ja seeni osta.
Latvian: Mēs gājām no muižas uz tirgu lai pirkt burkānus un sēnes.
English: We went from the manor to the market to buy carrots and mushrooms.
If you look at the words in bold, the differences aren't that big, are they? Especially if you know that in its non-declined form, "turule" is "turg", and that p/b and g/k sounds sometimes blend together in Estonian.
Other words common to Latvian and Estonian, though which language they have roots in can sometimes be disputed – laiva/laev (boat, ship), tilts/sild (bridge), puika/poeg (boy), kode/koi(d) (moth), laulāt/laulatada (to marry), bura/puri (sail) and māja/maja (house). Of course, there are many more, these are just a few examples!
Many centuries of foreign rule means that there are also words common to Estonian and Latvian that are borrowed from a third language (or sometimes even fourth, if the third language has borrowed the word). This is the case for words such as arst/ārsts (doctor, Arzt in German), sidron/citrons (lemon, Zitrone in German) and advokaat/advokāts (lawyer, адвокат in Russian). The latter two have roots in Latin, and were probably borrowed into German and Russian via French.
Spice packet for cinnamon in the three languages of the Baltic countries – note how Estonian and Latvian have both borrowed from the Germanic "kanel" while Lithuanian has gone the Latin/Greek route of "cinnamon".
Beyond vocabulary, Finnic languages have had an important influence on Latvian: word stress. In Lithuanian, as well as in Slavic languages – Baltic languages' closest relatives – word stress is random and can occur anywhere in the word, which can be a real pain for people who are learning the language. But in Latvian, like in Finnic languages, word stress is almost always on the first syllable.
How did such a pivotal language feature come to be so different from that of related languages? While I'm not 100% certain, I think it comes down to the fact that modern Latvian isn't strictly speaking "purely" Indo-European – while its roots are certainly Indo-European, it is a language that came about through the melding of several Baltic-area tribes. And while most of the Baltic-area tribes in question (Selonians, Semigallians, Curonians, Latgalians) were Baltic-speaking, one of them – the Livonians – was not. And since the Livonians had influence on both sides of the Gulf of Rīga – that is, northern Kurzeme *and* northern Vidzeme – it is not entirely surprising that this language feature was adopted into the common language.
So this concludes this series on Finnic influences in Latvia! If you have any questions, please leave them in comments! And if you have opinions on what you would like to see next – feel free to comment as well!
