Global Copper Market: Snapshot
The world copper market is expected to exhibit reliance on economies expanding at a fast rate and developing countries involved in a large number of infrastructure building activities. The rise in the manufacture of industrial machinery, durable goods, transportation equipment, and domestic appliances is anticipated to be nominated as a strong inducement for the global market to grow significantly. Plastic, aluminum, and other substitutes are predicted to pose a punishing effect on the advancement of the market. Howbeit, in the years to come, market vendors are foreseen to be loaded with opportunities as the novel concept of building green structures witnesses an additional development.
By 2023, as per the statistics procured in a report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global copper market is prognosticated to attain a colossal revenue of US$171.96 bn. This is expected to be supported by a CAGR of 4.9% prevailing for the forecast period 2015–2023. In 2014, the market was worth a US$138.05 bn.
Electrical and Electronic Products Follow Lead of Construction Market
One of the critical classifications of the international copper market is based on application, which represents vital segments such as consumer products, industrial, electrical and electronic products, construction, and transportation. However, the analysts envisage the construction and electrical and electronic products markets to make the cut in the copper industry. While construction is foretold to cash in on its faster growth to lead the global market, the latter application segment is prophesied to hold the second position. The appealing look of copper seems to have attracted a burgeoning business in various construction domains, including fittings and plumbing. The domestic and industrial purpose electrical cables and wires also employ copper in their manufacture.
Amidst a range of different forms of copper, viz. tube, powder, rods, bars, sections, plates, sheets, and strips, wire rod could count on its extensive scope of application to clasp a king's share in the world market. Copper wire rods are used in the production of magnet wire usable for electronic parts, wire harness which is used in automobiles, and submarine, underground, large capacity, and ultra-high voltage cables. The tube and powder form markets are envisioned to trail the market for wire rod. Nonetheless, wire rod is projected to steal the glory with a whopping 55.0% volume share in the copper market.
Asia Pacific Humbles Other Regions with Paramount Share
The analysts find no doubt in predicting that the Asia Pacific copper market could be hailed for a maximum share. This is mainly due to the upgraded growth in regional markets such as China and India. Asia Pacific is also expected to rake in a propelling growth on the back of a perpetual advancement in infrastructure upgradation and building and aggressive construction and building activities.
The rapid speed of urbanization catapulting construction activities in India is anticipated to set the tone for the copper market in Asia Pacific. The demand for copper in China could be bolstered by the weighty rate of the domestic manufacturing of household appliances, motor vehicles, and industrial machinery. The need for copper in the production of electronic goods, pipe, electrical wire, and telecommunications equipment in China is due to the evolution of the electrical and electronic sector and constant boom in construction.
While Europe could be following Asia Pacific in terms of growth, North America is predicted to secure the third position in the world copper market. Likewise, the Middle East and Africa and Latin America are envisaged to be poised for a lucrative growth.
Copper is a ductile metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity. It is a versatile metal with excellent chemical, physical, and aesthetic properties.

Can this hottie beat Song Joong Ki in Taiwan's version of Descendants of the Sun?
We have new information about the mysterious leading man who is slated to star in Taiwan's version of Descendants of the Sun. Can he beat Song Joong Ki's "Big Boss" Captain Yoo Shi Jin? It turns out this Taiwanese hunk has quite a lot going for him. Take a look!
Korean drama Descendants of the Sun, starring Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Gyo, has not only been a smash hit everywhere, it has also been credited in raising positive image for the Korean military forces. The Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan (officially Republic of China) has confirmed that it wants to produce a similar drama to inspire and boost morale with the same uplifting and inspirational message.
When the news first came out, the first critics were from Taiwan's own populace. There was a lot of doubt that the budget would be sufficient to produce a drama near the scale and quality of the Korean hit drama. However, the Ministry of National Defense has been unwavering in its determination to proceed with the 16-episode project, already titled The Best Choice.
Paltry budget aside, who can match the charismatic leading man Song Joong Ki to star in a military-themed romantic drama?
It now appears that Taiwan has a secret weapon in a real-life military hunk who is "trained in special forces and has six packs," as promised by the military spokesperson when the new drama was announced.
Meng Ting is 185 cm (about 6'1") in height, and yes, he does have 6 packs!
And he looks quite handsome!
He graduated from Taipei University of the Arts with a degree in dance and with a body well-tuned by 6 to 8 hours of daily training. His father serves in the air force and his mother is a dance teacher. He wanted to join the air force but could not qualify based on the vision test. He now serves as a Platoon Leader, Second Lieutenant in the army. (Meng is the family surname.)
Take a look at his nimble maneuvering when he served as a Corporal in the renowned Honor Guard in the ROC Army, in 2015:
Although he is a military man, he says he is also a passionate performer.
Taiwanese media has been completely won over by him. An excited and enthusiastic report compares him very favorably against Song Joong Ki:
Meng Ting originally entered the military for his required service and has volunteered to continue his service. He posted about his no-nonsense views here:
"To obey is a military man's nature! When you're assigned a mission, you'll achieve it unconditionally! Even if we're still on vacation, the weather is really bad, or there are still things to do at home, we will return to our posts without hesitation and fulfill our duty..."The mission is the priority!" I'm sharing how I feel to pay tribute to all the soldiers of our country. And, to all their family, partners, lovers: Thank you for your hard work. Without your full support, we would not be able to serve without a second thought."
The Best Choice is slated to start filming in mid-April, under the direction of award-winning director Liang Hsiu-shen.
Best wishes to Meng Ting and his new drama!
In the meantime, here is the original smash hit starring Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Gyo, Kim Ji Won, and Jin Goo:

Kids, they
grow move so fast! Now that O-ster is bi-pedal, I've found it nearly impossible to take a non-blurry photo of him. Case in point, he's learned to slide off things, like the bed and sofa. He's so happy and proud of himself, I wanted to take a video, but by the time I put him on the bed and click record, he's already off and scampering away. So a photo was the best I could do. I have a feeling my photo albums are gonna be shit for year one…
And literally seconds later, he's ready to scoot off to his next adventure.
I'm not sure why, but I feel so wistful looking at this picture. In my mind, he simply isn't that big yet!

The Land of Nod Meets Charley Harper
We've enjoyed Charley Harper books, toys and art kits, but now The Land of Nod is bringing Charley Harper's art and style to your home in a new way. The Charley Harper for Nod collection features home decor, accessories and bedding full of bold patterns, shapes and colors.
For the nursery, the Florida Keys bedding collection is stunning– and I'm not just saying that because I live in Florida. The collection includes a quilt, crib sheet, and changing pad cover.
Colorful pillows accent the bedding collections, but they'd be great to add to solid bedding sets as well. Take a look at the Bear, Raccoon, Ladybug Striped Sham, Ladybug, Tiger, and Butterfly throw pillows.
I've seen Giraffe and Flamingo growth charts before, not none as cute as these.
Finally, the Charley Harper for Nod rugs are bold and bright. These really make a statement.
I think you'll love this limited edition collection! What are you putting in your shopping cart?

Minted Home
This is blowing my mind. I never dreamed minted would get more involved in the home decor space, but as of today, welcome minted home. We already LOVE minted for art, but add their selection of designs to pillows, curtains, lampshades etc… and I'm getting giddy! With dozens of patterns and plenty of colorways, the possibilities are endless.
We use minted art pieces often in our nursery designs, and I have a feeling you'll be seeing many of these pillows to go with them very shortly!
The minted home pillows come in five different sizes with several choices of fabric as well.
I don't think there another place online where you can order so many beautiful custom curtains. I'll be spending the rest of MY evening tonight shopping for curtains for our new house! There are so many different sizes patterns and colors to choose from!
The lampshades are coming soon and you can also shop for fabric to create your own fabulous accessories.
Let me know what you're ordering!

Christmas will always be special for newlyweds Martyn and Debra Baldwin.
The couple first hooked up under the mistletoe at a Department of Work and Pensions Christmas party in 1997.
Two years later, Debra found an engagement ring at the bottom of her festive stocking on Christmas morning and the pair tied the knot in October at the Moon Palace holiday resort in Cancun, Mexico.
Martyn, 31, now works at BT as an engineer and Debra, 25, works as a manager.
They live in Motocombe Way, Cramlington.
Still on a high from their Mexico experience, Martyn said: "It was a wedding and honeymoon combined and it was just like a dream.
"We wanted something a little bit different from the stress of a church wedding, and it just went so well.
"It really was such a great experience. I'd recommend it to anyone as a great place to get married. We had a great time and it will live with us for the rest of our lives."
The couple were joined in Mexico by 10 guests, including the couple's parents, and friends Craig and Melanie.

Re: Aguirre family name from Spain
Hello, the Aguirre coat of arms is available online (for a fee of course - i have ordered it) and it comes with a history of the name.While the Spanish history of the name places its origination in the Basque region and means "in a clearing", it is actually a Moorish name.my name is Anna Maria Aguirre and my grandfather was from Guadalajara, Mexico and Acatique???? as well.His name was Atanacio Aguirre and he had several brothers, one of whom was named Alejandro.My father is one of 9 (8 sisters) and was the only boy. I would love to find family from my grandfather's side.Thanks!

All About Space – The Best Space Games On PS3
On 28th June, our clever Imagine Publishing comrades will be launching a new magazine, All About Space.
It's a magazine that is, surprisingly, all about space. It's also new home of former Play sub Dan Peel, who we can't bully anymore because he sits too far away in the office to make it worth the effort. We have an All About Space preview and the website, spaceanswers.com, has already launched
To celebrate its forthcoming launch and before we exhaust 'launch' any further, here are the best space games on PlayStation 3! We've probably missed a few – let us know in the comments if we have.
7. James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
Because space is apparently full of boring blue horse-people and dull cover shooting.
6. Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Our favourite bit is 4:05 when the camera sparkles and zooms in on his crotch. Does this really happen in space? WE WANT TO GO.
5. Warhammer 40K: Space Marine
A little repetitive and not particularly space-y but decent enough, despite Relic not finding any colour beyond brown.
4. Starhawk
It's Warhawk… in space! Spacehawk would have sounded like an Eighties TV show, so Starhawk it is. Great multiplayer once you learn the ropes.
3. Red Faction: Guerilla
The battle against EDF on Mars was brilliant, thanks to the sci-fi themed destruction. Just remember that Red Faction: Armageddon didn't really happen.
2. Dead Space & Dead Space 2
Brilliant in that it feels like a true sci-fi horror and even features zero-g sections too. We loved the sequel too, even if it was a bit more action and chatter than horror, and Dead Space 3 has us mildly concerned.
1. Mass Effect 2 & Mass Effect 3
Perfect. Well, apart from the ending of Mass Effect 3.

With a nice day in prospect, Helen and I decided to play truant from the house and garden and go to the seaside. We went to Crail, on the Fife coast, (pictured- taken from one of the gardens we visited) as we wanted to have a look at some fossils on the beach there and a large number of gardens were open to view as part of the Scotland's Gardens scheme (see the blog entry for May "See beautiful gardens-buy plants").
Crail is just one of the delightful fishing villages on the Fife coast, with an excellent pottery, seasonal fresh seafood and really nice small beaches.
Crail is just one of the delightful fishing villages on the Fife coast, with an excellent pottery, seasonal fresh seafood and really nice small beaches.
On the drive over to Crail you pass a number of old, cast iron, milestones. Fife is pretty unique in having a large number of these, they were put up as roads were improved in the late 18th and first half of the 19th century. The improved roads, known as turnpikes, charged tolls and many of the toll houses are still in place - most now used as private houses. Near us both the Balgedie Toll Tavern (good food and real ales) and the the one at Yetts of Muckhart are typical examples. The milestone pictured dates from about 1840. They were all removed during the second world war to hinder any invading force (the local population tended to get very lost as well!), unusually, they were put into storage and re-erected after the war so many remain at, or very close to, their original positions and they are all now well maintained.
We got to Crail at low tide (best for viewing the fossils along the coast as many are right at the shore line). The whole Fife coast is a fossil hunter's paradise with remains dating back some 300-350 million years to a time when this part of Scotland was much nearer the equator with huge forests and river estuaries. Bertie just loves to have his photo taken and this time gives scale to a fossil tree stump!
Next we wanted to find the fossil tracks of the fearsome looking huge centipede - Arthropleura, (the reconstruction in the photo is in Glasgow's Hunterian Museum) it grew to about 2-3 metres long (about 6-9 feet) and could get so large possibly due to the very high oxygen levels in the atmosphere (thought to be about 35% vs. today at around 21%). Although fearsome looking it is thought that the Arthropod was vegetarian.
We found a number of the parallel tracks, (Helen's foot shows the scale, as Bertie was off playing!) but the ones recorded some 7 years ago have now, sadly, largely disappeared into the sea.
The picture shows the two sets of parallel tracks that were visible in 2005;
Now, very little remains as the large chunk of rock, forward of the crack in the upper picture, has disappeared. The tracks can now just be seen as they have also worn.
The picture shows the Stigmaria on a Lepidodendron root. Bertie was still playing on the beach, so this time we used the camera lens cap to give an idea of scale.
The fossil remains of wave patterns on the sea bed are commonly found.
More information on the fossil coastline, with further links, is available: http://www.discoveringfossils.co.uk/crail_fossils.htm

After all the beachcombing we were hungry and thirsty so headed for the tearoom (Crail Harbour Tearoom and Gallery) by the harbour and overlooking the bay (terrific views) for freshly made crab salads and cakes (Bertie had water, his lunch and a small piece of Helen's cake!). Nice gifts in their Gallery as well.
On to the cottage gardens of Crail. Thirteen were open over the weekend, with a wide variety of styles and ambitions. For just £5.00 you get to see beautiful gardens. Wandering through the village looking at the gardens, while munching fresh strawberries was a delight. Some gardens had a very mediterranean feel, others are much more along the cottage garden route and there are some very contemporary gardens with modern sculptures. Plants were bought, as was some pottery from the long-established Crail Pottery (always worth a visit). Have a look with the link: http://www.crailpottery.com/
meanwhile, have a look at the photo below.
meanwhile, have a look at the photo below.
The courtyard in the pottery.
As you'd expect in such an old village, Crail is steeped in legend and history. Here Bertie is again, posing on a large rock just by the Church (The Devil's Blue Stone) which legend says was thrown by the Devil from the Isle of May, an island in the Firth of Forth, in an attempt to destroy the church during its construction. There is a round indentation in the boulder, caused by the Devil's thumb. It is also said that sharpening a blade or sword on the thumbprint will assure victory. The legend says that when thrown, the stone split in mid-air, one half falling outside the church in Crail, the other landing on the shore at Balcomie beach, Fife Ness, the most easterly point of Fife.
In the churchyard this building, has the following plaque:" Erected for securing the dead. Ann: dom: MDCCCXXVI. " 1826, it was used to keep the dead safe from the grave robbers who would take corpses to be used for dissection in the medical schools! Nearer us here, is a watchtower by the cemetery close to Loch Leven that may have had a similar purpose.
We ended the day going to a cabaret performance by Flossie Malavialle, who had come to Crail to perform her songs and repartee. Terrific singer and a great character. Her website is worth a look with samples of her singing. If you like Piaf and French and English folk songs, then you'll probably like her. http://www.flossie-malavialle.co.uk/index1.html

8 Pieces Of Real Advice Every Newlywed Couple Needs To Know
Just married? Congrats! Or maybe the big day is just around the corner… Regardless, marriage is definitely one of the biggest commitments two people can make to each other (maybe outside of parenting, right?) So, how do you make sure that promise really lasts until "death do us part"? Well, luckily, we have 8 pieces of advice that will help you start your marriage off strong and keep that bond.
1. Communication is Key
One of the secrets to a happy marriage is communication; talking to each other about any and everything. Communication problems can cause a breach in any relationship particularly, marital relationships. Good communication between spouses can even spice up the relationship; when marriage needs it most. The issue that come from lack of communication can cause a lot of problems in homes; of which I believe yours is not going to be part. Therefore, it is of great necessity to learn how to communicate effectively with your spouse. Your spouse cannot read your mind or know what you are thinking, therefore you have to be responsible for speaking.
Every couple will have their stints with reality checks, as well as fine-tuning, and every couple has to learn to communicate so the needed adjustments can be made more easily and effectively. As often said, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." This kind of communication should be your goal in marriage because the dearest, most important and closest person to your heart is your husband or wife, so therefore your speech should be soft, sweet, and suitable for every situation.
The truth is that an ill-tempered, cranky, quarrelsome attitude will just annoy your spouse the same way a constantly nagging spouse can drive them crazy; therefore make it your priority to employ the use of sweet words to each other as a couple and also evaluate your speech patterns and communication.
Also, communication includes having a good listening ear. Listen ardently and passionately to your spouse. Fashion out a safe refuge where your spouse can divulge his or her innermost emotion, thoughts, ideas and expectations without giving a conclusion. A spouse should never criticize or quiet their spouse when they have ideas or something important to share. Unconsciously criticizing your partner or refusing to give a listening ear could result in strive in your home, instead of love. The combination of an open, honest, hearty talk, with empathetic listening, promotes acceptance and a deeper understanding. You will notice that both of you will feel safe, confident, and secure in your home and relationship.
For it takes a good communication skill and tactic to work as a team and working as a team is what brought you together in the first place.
2. Build a Strong Foundation
This is a crucial area in marriage. Building marriage on a loose foundation can be disastrous; therefore, time and effort should be made in developing a strong foundation for your marriage. In fact, being in love is not enough to build a solid or adequate foundation, or even a prerequisite to a successful marriage. You should remember and think of the reasons you decided to get married in the first place. Knowing this will help you build a strong foundation, trust us. DO you have values? Define what they are and share them with your spouse. Do theirs align? Do the accept and understand yours? Do you share the same values and belief or are they contradicting? Knowing your intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical values would help in making wise decisions for your present and future relationship.
3. Handling the Money
Money is another major cause of misunderstanding in marriages and it takes a big part in marriage, therefore, set your marriage in the box to achieve success in that area. It is advisable to meet with a financial planner or better still, both of you could sit down, set out goals, budget and devise means to attaining those goals. A proper financial plan for the home would save you from lot of fighting and quarreling. The first step in developing a financial plan is to agree after marriage. As a team, unity is your desire, so it is no longer her or his money, but rather, 'our money' and you have to plan that sharing.
The purpose of saving is to have sufficient funds in times of emergency, to pay off any credit card and consumer debts, and also for major purchases like a home, land, or automobile. As couple, you could set aside a percentage of your income to help others or support the less privileged, it comes with a satisfaction that your money is helping someone out there. However, another percentage of the income is for you a financed payment; for example, a college fund for your children, insurance, a vehicle, appliances, travel, recreation and other utilities. A lot of money is spent on housing and food especially, therefore it is necessary to make proper plans for these.
Finally, it should be discussed who keeps the record of the financial expenditure for the family. The record should be taken seriously.
4. Making Time for Fun
As a couple, you need to spend time together having fun. It will be a great time to connect with your partner. Usually after the honeymoon, reality begins to settle in; times in which to have fun, may begin to fade away. As newlyweds, don't let anything steal that fun and joy from your marriage ever. Having fun as a couple includes making time for each other outside your house door, like travel to a new city. Try cooking together as a couple (if you don't have time to get out); pick a dish that both of you would enjoy doing, or play a game together. This should be made a habit to keep the savor of the marriage continuous and to spice things up for you. Don't be too busy and uneasy to do something crazy and spontaneous with your spouse. Remember why you wanted to marry this person!
5. Intimacy
Sex is an intimate act and it changes over time in relationships. The sexual life and fulfillment of your spouse is your now also you concern as their spouse. You should know that your spouse needs may be different from yours and as a couple you should try to understand both yours and their sexual needs. The female sexuality and needs are different from that of the male sexuality; each partner waits for this to be enjoyed as heaven. As a partner satisfying your partner sexually should be your goal, a spouse you should not be selfish about it.
Sex is much more than for procreation but sex is also for continuous enjoyment of life and for the greatest life's fulfillment. A healthy sex life contributes to the success of your marriage, even into the later year of marriage. A healthy and good sex life between spouses create this glow and joy in your faces, it create a loving closeness, it is a bond that is only shared between you two.
Sex should not be withheld from your spouse when he or she asks' for it because it's like defrauding each other. As couple you should talk about your sex life, be free to discuss what you want, having a complete openness to discuss it at any time.
6. Dealing with Family Members
When you marry, you are married into a family and you have to deal with that through creating a relationship with your in-laws. Try as much as possible to live peaceably with your in-laws and see them as you own family members do not segregate. Also, as much as possible keep your immediate family issues within yourselves away from third parties especially family members resolve all issues within yourselves. One strategy that would help keep and maintain relationship with in-laws is to make a list of family members' birthdates, try to send something each year so that your in-laws would be your friends indeed.
Solving Disagreement Without Argument
As individual having different background, likes, dislikes, desires and different things that irritates and pleases you, so there is bound to be disagreement because of this but dealing with such disagreement really matters a lot so as to avoid argument and offenses. The truth is that all marriage has or has had conflicts but the way such conflict or misunderstanding were resolved would tell if the couple would remain close or live as roommates, therefore, conflicts should be resolved in a friendly manner instead of an heated argument.
First of all, you must start by accepting the fact that disagreement would occur and disagreement is not sign that you made mistake in marriage. Our ideologies and perception of life is based on our history, educational status, our values, and our personality. These are the factors that make us different individual. Resolving disagreement has the ability of teaching partners how to love, support and encourage themselves better. In case of argument do not be at the place of being a winner or having your opinion taken always, it is advisable to give allowances. Every spouse should be able to speak out from their heart and should not hold back so that there would not be truck load of hurts and causing the wall of their marriage opened to the world. Learn the art of compromise and learn to attack situation and problem instead of each other; don't attack your spouse, treat them with honor and respect every time especially in the public. In case of any disagreement do not be fast at pointing fingers to your spouse for the argument but rather focus on the problem at hand.
7. Love Your Spouse the Way They Are
Couples should love themselves the way they are, you should not have a project of changing your spouse to your taste accept them for themselves. Love is more than just the affections. Discover the love language of your spouse, discover what makes them really happy and continue to build up on it. What makes you feel loved might be different from what makes your partner feel loved, love is sacrificial not just in words but also in deeds. There are five love language; words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gift, quality time, receiving gifts and physical touch. Observe your spouse to discover his or her love language which could be more than one and keep your emotional love live in motion and express the love effectively.
8. Others
As a couple you should never go to bed annoyed or angry at each other, try as much as possible to resolve all issues before you sleep so that you wake up in the morning without grudges but rather a smile. Do not rush into starting a family, take time out to prepare and know yourselves well as a couple before the stage of parenting kicks up. Also, as couple there are time that your spouse might want a personal time out, do not bulge them but rather give them the space they deserve. Try to keep promises made to your spouse.

Many students at Reed focus their studies on issues related to law. In support of this interest, Reed offers courses in several departments that are directly tied to civil or criminal law. In addition, students interested in this domain often do thesis projects focused on legal or constitutional issues, or policy issues involving the law. Many of these students apply to law school after Reed.
Reed does not have a legal studies program (and, if you're thinking about law school, many schools like their applicants to have a background broader than what they might get in a formally-defined "pre-law" program). Nonetheless, many faculty are experts in and do research on some aspect of the law, or closely-related issues involving policy or social justice. Here is a list of some of the relevant faculty. At the bottom of the page, you'll also find a listing of upcoming events that may be of interest, and also links to other resources on campus.
Kris Anderson, Psychology Department
Professional focus: My lab, the Adolescent Health Research Program, investigates the mechanisms underlying alcohol and drug use initiation, escalation, and the development of substance use disorders from childhood to young adulthood. We develop new methodologies to understand in the moment decisions of youth to engage in risk taking and substance use within peer contexts and actively collaborate with prevention and intervention specialists to design, implement, and assess substance use programs for youth. Our work has implications for juvenile justice and models of youth delinquency.
Relevant Courses: Psychopathology; Addiction
Michael Breen, History Department
Professional focus: A specialist in early modern French & European history, I study the development of the legal professions and the central roles lawyers and jurists played in transforming politics, culture, and society between the late Middle Ages and the French Revolution. At the same time, I am also interested in the evolution of the law as a set of social, cultural, and institutional practices that were shaped not only by trained legal professionals, but also by the increasing numbers of ordinary men and women who utilized the law in their day-to-day lives, whether through litigation, participation in court proceedings, or increased usage of notarial records. My first book, Law, City, and King: Legal Culture, Municipal Politics, and State Formation in Early Modern Dijon (University of Rochester Press, 2007) examined how the barristers (avocats) of a French provincial capital used their legal expertise and social status to establish themselves as valuable intermediaries between the local populace and the monarchy and the ways in which this relationship changed with the expansion of the French royal state. My current project, Law and Society in Medieval & Early Modern Europe, examines how and why "the rule of law" emerged in medieval Europe and came to be a foundation of the European social order, rivaling and even surpassing the importance of religion. Finally, I am also studying the controversies surrounding a medico-legal procedure used by French Church courts to adjudicate marital annulment lawsuits during the sixteenth and seventeenth century and the larger implications of these debates for the legal culture of the period.
Relevant Courses: Legalizing Europe: Church, State, Society & "The Rule of Law," 1200-1600; Heretics, Witches, and Inquisitors, Deviance, Orthodoxy, and the Law in Medieval & Early Modern Europe; Law & Society in Medieval & Early Modern Europe (History Jr. Seminar)
Michael Carpentier, Anthropology Department
Professional focus: My research in legal anthropology focuses on the way in which people understand and try to negotiate the conditions of their legality (conditions like citizenship, sovereignty, or criminality), conditions often imposed aggressively by a disembodied authoritative set of doctrines. Most of my research is done in the context of native north America. I am also interested in the ways that law is 'enforced;' the increasing militarization of domestic law enforcement; issues of territoriality; and the ways people understand their relationships to these phenomena.
Relevant course: Legal Anthropology
Paul Gronke, Political Science Department
Professional focus: Gronke studies American politics, elections, public opinion, and research methods. His interest in the law stems from his work as the director of the Early Voting Information Center (earlyvoting.net), a non-partisan scholarly research and policy advisory center situated at Reed that works to determine best practices for no-excuse and early in-person voting. While he does not teach a course specifically focused on the law, he does have content about election law--voting rights, minority representation, redistricting, and election formula--in some classes. Gronke also serves as the editor of the Election Law Journal (also housed at Reed), the only interdisciplinary journal dedicated to scholarship on election law, policy, and practice.
Relevant courses: Elections, American Style; U.S. Congress
Stefan Kapsch, Emeritus, Political Science Department
Professional focus: policy analysis with a substantive focus on criminal justice. I have had various roles on numerous projects including drafting the research section of the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Act of 1967 as a member 0f the Program Evaluation Staff of the U.S. Bureau of the Budget, subsequently enacted as the Safe Streets and Crime C0ntrol Act of 1968. I participated in the formulation of the first state plan under the Safe Streets Act as a consultant to the Minnesota State Planning Agency. In Oregon, I was the Research Director for the Oregon Commission on the Judicial Branch, which engineered the largest restructuring of the Oregon court system in state history. I was Executive Director of the Oregon Prison Overcrowding Project (OPOP), which was funded by the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and the National Institute of Corrections. I was also a consultant to the Oregon Jail Overcrowding Project, an offshoot of OPOP, also funded by Clark and NIC. Much 0f my work has involved Reed students. A group of my students and I conducted an effectiveness evaluation of a therapeutic community drug treatment program for Multnomah County felons. Another student and I evaluated a Multnomah County program of drug testing of pretrial releases also in Multnomah County, funded by the National Institute of Corrections. Another team studied a Portland automobile forfeiture program for DUII's (published under Ian Crosby). My last project was on youth gun violence in Portland (The Portland STACS Project) where I served as Research Director, also funded by the National Institute of Justice.
I've had two Senior Fulbright appointments, one to the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia and the other to the Amerika Institute of Ludvig Maxmillians University in Munich, Germany. As an offshoot of the Slovenia Fulbright, I was a principle in organizing a biennial conference (1996-2004) on "Democratic Policing in Central and Eastern Europe" aimed at modernizing and democratizing the police of former communist countries. In 2003, I organized a symposium on German and American criminal justice funded by the American and German Fulbright Commissions and the U.S. Consulate in Munich. The proceedings were published in a book co-edited with Manfred Berg and Franz Streng, titled "Criminal Justice in the United States and Germany: History, Modernization and Reform."
Relevant Course: Constitutional Law and Judicial Politics
Chris Koski, Political Science Department
Professional focus: My work focuses on the formation of policy agendas, the choice of tools of regulation, and the implementation of public law and policy. My previous research relevant to law has specifically focused on the content of water quality regulations at the state level, public ordinances concerning green building at the state and municipal level, and climate action plan characteristics at the municipal level. At the federal level, my current research seeks to understand the influence of comments on environmental rule making.
Relevant course: Environmental Politics and Policy
John Kroger, President
Professional focus: Before coming to Reed, Oregon's Attorney General from 2009 to 2012. Also Chair of Oregon Alcohol & Drug Policy Commission, 2009-2012; Lewis & Clark Law School, 2002-2012; Department of Justice Enron Task Force, 2002-2003; US Attorney's Office, 1997-2001.
Noelwah R. Netusil, Economics Department
Professional focus: My research focuses on using statistical techniques to value environmental characteristics. Past work has focused on valuing water rights, the effect of environmental zoning laws on property values, and how water quality affects property values. My current research examines various aspects of green infrastructure and low-impact development. I serve on non-profit and government agency advisory boards in addition to being a participant in several cross-institutional research groups.
Relevant Course: Law and Economics
Daniel Reisberg, Psychology Department
Professional focus: I work on how crime victims and witnesses perceive events and then remember what they have seen. From this base, I consult widely with the justice system, and testify (usually in criminal cases) 8-10 times each year. My testimony covers diverse topics, including eyewitness identification, earwitness memory, proper procedures for finding out what a child remembers (and so I often participate in trials alleging child abuse), and also proper interrogation procedures with suspects (and so I sometimes participate in trials in which the defense asserts that a confession is false).
Relevant Courses: Cognitive Processes; Psychology and the Courts
Darius Rejali, Political Science Department
Professional focus: I work on government torture and interrogation, and specifically, on the causes, consequences and meaning of modern torture. From this base, I consult as an expert for various international scholarly projects on torture prevention and serve as an adviser to nongovernmental organizations that work on torture related issues. I have also submitted expert testimony in a Guantanamo related case (Al Ginco v. Obama) and Abu Ghraib related case (Al Shimari v. CACI International)
Relevant Course: Torture Prevention
Marc Schneiberg, Sociology Department
Professional focus: I work on political and economic responses to corporations in American capitalism, including regulation, self-regulation and the evolution of governance arrangements. My research is both quantitative and qualitative and draws on institutional analysis, a body of work deeply concerned with the emergence, enforcement and effects on organizations of legal and other rules.
Relevant Courses: Regulation; Institutional Analysis

(CNN)A volcano eruption in Alaska sent ash 20,000 feet up in the air and prompted flight warnings, according to authorities.
22 photos: Recently active volcanoes
The Pavlof Volcano, located on the Aleutian Islands, began "erupting abruptly" Sunday afternoon, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
A volcano alert warning remained in effect early Monday morning, and the aviation warning color code remains red, its highest level.
Seismic activity was also reported after the quake.

I have been looking forward to creating an Advent calendar ever since I became a mama, but the whole concept of Christmas was pretty far out of Sam's grasp the past few years. This year, things will be different. He is really paying attention to everything going on around him and is starting to assimilate the information that he is taking in.
So, this is the year for our family's first Advent calendar.
I have seen so many pretty Advent calendars show up in my Pinterest feed over the last month. Although I was anxious to make one of my own, I didn't know exactly what I was going to do until a flash of inspiration hit me last Thursday.
We had an IKEA SPONTAN magnetic board in our basement just waiting to find a home and I have gobs of Project Life cards in my scrapbook pile. I brought the two together (plus some printer ink and magnets) and our Advent calendar was born.
The journaling cards are a mixture of patterns in pink, yellow, blue, black and white from Sunshine and Midnight kits plus several We R Memory Keepers Captured Cardstock Cards.
I arranged and rearranged the cards on the board until I came up with a color scheme and order that felt nice and balanced. Then, I made a 3x4 jpeg file for each number. I imported the jpegs into a Word document, four at a time and hit "print." I used washi tape to affix the cards to the paper, in approximately the right place and ran the cardstock through the printer one more time.
Each day, we will move the big magnet (shown on the bottom of the magnet board) to cover that day's number.
Beyond that, I haven't figured out exactly how we will celebrate each day. Sam is really into the "Happy Birthday" song, cake and candles. So, I think I will gear our Advent focus toward the celebration of Jesus' birthday on the 25th. I also think consistency and repetition will be key.
To note: the SPONTAN board that I used was purchased in 2010 or 2011 and has different dimensions than the one that is currently for sale on the IKEA website.

Monthly Round-up: May 2018
It's been a while since I did a round-up but this month there is news!
The most important news is that the new horror novel, OUTPOST H311, is now out! It is available in paperback and Kindle format from Amazon UK, Amazon US and I'm even including the links to Amazon Canada for my Canadian friends.
I'm quite excited about this book. It seemed to be quite difficult to write, for various reasons, and it was a long road to get it to this point. But now, at last, here it is.
I'm still working on this. As ever the best promotion for a writer is a good review, so please do consider doing a review if you read the book, even if it's just a few words. It all helps.
I'm also interested in guest slots on other people's blogs, so if you run this feature, please get in touch. I can offer reciprocal slots on the 'Monday's Friends' feature.
I've been manically busy in the day job, not to mention prep for the release of OUTPOST H311, so not a lot writing is being done at present.
And that's about it for now. See you next month!
Monthly Round-Up: June 2017
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
Well, summer is here. The UK enjoyed some sweltering hot weather this month, over 30c for several days. This is pretty unusual for us – so much so that we all bake, since very few places have air conditioning. Fortunately for us, our office does. The underground does not, however, and being packed in like sardines on the Central Line in rush hour when it's so hot is pretty close to being in Hell.
But of course British weather is nothing if not unpredictable, and now we're back to rain again. I love the long days at this time of year, and there is still plenty of summer left before we're back to the long nights of winter.
Anyway. On with this month's news
There's nothing new to announce, and I've got no further news on when SPOTLIGHT ON DEATH is coming out. So this month I'm just going to plug my current publications. They are all available on Amazon US and UK, so why not have a browse?
On 4 June there was an interview with me on Rochelle Weber's blog, in which I talk about the Shara Summers series.
There's another Goodreads giveaway running at present for THE WHISPERING DEATH. It's only open to UK readers, due to postage costs, but if you fancy a free signed copy of THE WHISPERING DEATH, the contest is open until 15 July.
I was aiming to have the first draft of the new horror novel, OUTPOST H311, done by the end of June. Well it's not quite done yet, but I am nearly there. I have over 60,000 words done and I reckon I've only got another 10,000 or so to the end. If all goes well I should get there in July. So, hopefully there'll be more news on this next month. Stay tuned!
The Ten Commandments of Writing #9: Thou Shalt Not Be Afraid to Pimp
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
Writers are, by nature, solitary creatures. We are not comfortable in crowds. So it's sadly ironic than nowadays we are expected more and more to get involved in marketing our books. To be expected to do readings and interviews. Most writers tremble in fear at the thought of facing a crowd of people.
The days of the writer holing themselves up in their garrett writing, never seen by the public, while the publisher's minions run around selling books for them, are, by and large, over. Unless you land a deal with one of the major commercial publishers who have a publicity department – and even then you'll have to turn up to signings and promotional events they arrange – you will be expected to play a proactive role in marketing. So, set aside your fear of being the centre of attention and get used to pimping yourself.
Every writer should have, at the very least, a blog, a web page and a Twitter account. Many people assume there's no point in setting up social media accounts until they've got a publisher, but there is an argument for getting yourself out there and setting up accounts before you're published, and at least by the time you've got something to sell you've built up a following of people who may be willing to go out and buy your book.
None of these things have to cost any money. You can set up a blog on Blogger or WordPress in a matter of minutes, just by choosing a template. There are several free templates available for websites too, that don't require any programming skills (the one I use is Weebly). Set up a Twitter account and start Tweeting about things that interest you, using hashtags to connect with people who have similar interests. Never underestimate what aspects of your life that you take for granted someone else will find interesting. I take the train into London every day and shuffle around the capital with thousands of fellow commuters, and I'm half asleep when I do it. But occasionally I am reminded that to people that don't live in London, this is an endlessly fascinating city.
As a writer you obviously want to talk about your writing, but don't be that person that only ever Tweets 'buy my book' because that turns people off really fast.
My most important piece of advice for when you are published? Get yourself some business cards, with your name, your website, an email address and if possible, an image of your book cover. Take them with you everywhere you go, because you never know who you will meet. I have handed business cards out to people on mountains in Peru, and in deserts in Arizona. Every time I get chatting to strangers when I'm on holiday, if I have cause to mention I'm a writer, and the person replies, sounding interested, "oh, what do you write?" I will hand them a business card.
And I learned this lesson the hard way. In 2010, just after the first book came out, I went to the Horror Con in Brighton. I'd packed postcards, and business cards, but we headed down on the train after work, and when we reached the hotel we discovered there was a party in a bar on the pier, which had already started, so we dumped our luggage in the room and headed straight there. Then we discovered it was a free bar, so of course that's where everybody was. And I had so many occasions to hand out my cards and tell people all about my new book, but they were all back in the hotel room. I've never made that mistake since.
Once you've got that book deal, there are other things you can do to promote yourself. Host guest posts on your blog site featuring other writers, and get them to host you on their site. It's mutually beneficial to both host and guest, and it doesn't cost anything to do it. Go to conventions – as many as you can afford – to meet up with other writers, readers and publishers in your genre. When the call for panels goes out, volunteer for one. Most calls for panel volunteers also ask you to list what sort of panels you want to see, so think realistically about what you could feasibly talk about. Short fiction? Cross-genre fiction? Independent publishing? The road to publication (no matter how far along it you are)? Throw out any ideas you can – you never know what might inspire the panel organisers.
You should also try contacting your local paper and your local book shops to see if they are interested in promoting you, but this is very hit and miss. I had some success with the former, but if you're with a Print On Demand (POD) publisher, getting your book into book shops entirely depends on the shop's buying policy. I have found that in the UK, a lot of book shops aren't interested in taking anything they can't buy on a Sale or Return basis, and that's generally not possible with POD. But still, it doesn't hurt to ask. You might discover that the manager of your local bookshop is an advocate for small presses and is agreeable to organising a signing with you.
In short, do what you can to pimp yourself, when you can. And there will be times when it all seems like a great deal of effort, and when the royalty statement comes in and you haven't sold much, you will wonder why you bother. But marketing is all part of the process of being a writer, and it's something that we all have to participate in to a certain degree, no matter how disagreeable it might be.
Monthly Round-Up: January 2017
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
I'm a bit late with this round-up since it's now 1 February. So how have I been doing in the first month of this year? Let's see…
Nothing new out, but I'll take this opportunity to pimp the existing works.
The Whispering Death
Suffer The Children
Crime (Contemporary Amateur Sleuth)
Short Story Collection
No guest blog posts to report. However, I am running a Goodreads Giveaway for THE WHISPERING DEATH for February, with two free paperback copies of the book to giveaway. You can enter here. Please note this is for UK entrants only, due to postage costs. Please promote the giveaway if you are able to – I am hoping to raise awareness of the book and perhaps get a few more reviews. There will be more giveaways over the next few months so watch this space.
Work has started on a new horror novel. Since this one is to be delivered to KGHH this year I am pressing on with it, and I have achieved nearly 10,000 words in the first month of the year. It is set in the Arctic, and it has the title OUTPOST H311.
Meanwhile the fourth Shara Summers novel is also a work in progress.
Plenty to keep me busy, then. See you at the end of February!
Monthly Round-up: December 2016
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
Well the blog has been somewhat neglected over the last couple of months. I resolve to pay it more attention next year.
We find ourselves at the end of 2016, so this post will be a reflection of my writing year, and not just activities of the past month.
My two horror books were re-released this year. MuseItUp published SUFFER THE CHILDREN (Kindle versions available on Amazon UK and US sites).
Meanwhile, KGHH Publishing (formerly known as Kensington Gore) re-released THE WHISPERING DEATH with a wonderful new hand-drawn cover. It's available in paperback, and on Kindle UK and US formats.
I pledged to have at least one guest appearance a month this year. I mostly succeeded to October, but the last couple of months of the year dropped off for various personal reasons. A full list of all my online appearances can be found on my website.
I've made some progress with the first draft of the fourth Shara Summers book, which is entitled DEADLY SUMMER. The third book will be released next year, and I hope to have the fourth book in a state to be submitted by this time next year.
I'm also contracted to submit another horror novel to KGHH in 2017. The one I was working on at the beginning of this year I have since abandoned since it really wasn't working. I now have the plot of a new book formulated, so I need to get motoring on that one.
I have a feeling that 2017 is going to be a difficult year for many, so I'm sending strength and positive thoughts out there into the ether, to fortify us all.
Monthly Round-up: October 2016
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
I'm a week late with the latest round-up, since it's now November.
Nothing new out this month, but another plug for my two horror novels. SUFFER THE CHILDREN is available in all e-book formats from MuseItUp Publishing, and THE WHISPERING DEATH, with its fab new cover, is available in paperback and in Kindle format from Amazon (US and UK).
On the last day of October I had a guest spot on the fabulous Joan C Curtis's blog talking about the discipline required for writing.
And I did my final convention of the year in October as well – Bristol HorrorCon. This one-day Con celebrating all things horror has now been going for two years, and is great fun. I did a panel on Horrible Crime, where we discussed the crossover between crime and horror (and digressed a bit as well), and I did a reading as well.
Work continues on the fourth Shara Summers book, DEADLY SUMMER. Which was initially a working title but I think it works so I'm inclined to keep it. Still on the first draft though, so early days yet.
See you next time!
Monthly Round-Up: September 2016
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
Well it's been a busy old month since the last update. End of September? How did that happen? Before you know it, it'll be time to think about the dreaded Festive Season…
But for now, on with the news.
I am pleased to announce that THE WHISPERING DEATH has been re-released with a new cover, hand drawn by the uber-talented Erin Kelso. I include it to the right. Nice and spooky, yes?
The story itself is unchanged, and remains available in print and Kindle version from Amazon.
And of course SUFFER THE CHILDREN is available in all e-book formats.
I've had a few guest appearances online in the past month.
On 5 September I did a blog swap with Chuck Bowie, with a post about the importance of rewriting appearing on his blog. Then on 16 September I appeared on Diane Dooley's blog, with a post about being a woman of horror.
My interview for the British Fantasy Society's journal appeared in issue #16, which was released this month. The British Fantasy Society exists to supports British writers and publishers of science fiction, fantasy and horror, and the journal is free to members. If you're not a member but want to be, check out membership options on their website.
And, speaking of the BFS, I attended FantasyCon, the SF/F/H convention run by the BFS which this year was in the Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough. It was a great weekend, catching up with old friends and making new ones, and I had a panel and a reading as well. I read from SUFFER THE CHILDREN. Reading slots were organised this year with two authors sharing a half-hour slot. A very good idea, to my mind – it meant the audience was bigger. And my reading partner, Priya Sharma, is a fantastic short story writer and a lovely person.
I am making good progress with the fourth Shara Summers novel, which is currently titled DEADLY SUMMER. Still first draft, though, so a long way to go yet.
That's it to report for now. See you next month!
What I'm Doing At FantasyCon 2016
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
This weekend I head for the Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough for the annual British celebration of SF/F/horror literature, FantasyCon. FantasyCon was the first con I ever attended, some time in the late 1990s, and I still hold it in fond regard.
On this occasion I am travelling alone, since Hubby is not joining me. He claims to want a quiet weekend at home. I think he's looking forward to a weekend of being able to play games, make models, watch the documentaries he likes in peace. That's OK with me as long as he remembers to feed the cats.
Anyway, I shall be at the day job Friday morning, and then boarding a train to the wilds of Yorkshire mid-afternoon. Somewhere I have to change trains. I think it might be York. There's not a lot of time between the two so I hope the first train doesn't run late. I am supposed to get to Scarborough about 5:30pm. In plenty of time for the disco – hurrah!
In any case, I do have things to do for this particular convention. I am giving a reading at 3pm on Saturday. The organisers have organised author readings in half-hour slots, with two authors per slot. I rather like this idea. It means you're less likely to have no one turn up to your reading, since there's a good chance there'll be someone there to watch the other author as well. My reading partner is Priya Sharma. I have not met her before, but looking forward to doing so on Saturday.
Then at 8pm I've got a panel called 'Paint It Black', which is all about why horror permeates so many other genres. My fellow panellists are Simon Bestwick, Jo Thomas, Timothy Jarvis and Phil Sloman, who is moderating. With the exception of Simon, who I've met in person, everyone else I only know from the internet so I am looking forward to meeting some new people.
Other than that, I shall be visiting a few panels and spending a lot of time in the bar, where I hope to be able to meet up with the people I only ever get to talk to at Cons. Although I might be tempted by the FantasyCon karaoke.
So if you're there, come and say hello. If you tell me you've bought a copy of any of my books at any point, I might even buy you a drink.
Monthly Round-up: August 2016
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
With the summer behind us we are facing longer nights, colder days, and can look forward to Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night (at least here in the UK). Though we are having a burst of unseasonably warm weather here in London so maybe we can hold onto summer just a bit longer.
SUFFER THE CHILDREN is now available in from all e-book retailers. It's still available direct from the MuseItUp store at the special release price of $2.99, and if you buy it from there it is available in all e-book formats.
I've been busy with guest posts since the last round up. Here is a run-down:
30 July – guest post on Luke Walker's blog on the endurance of horror.
12 August – interview on Judy Penz Sheluk's blog as part of a new series called 'Before they were authors'.
17 August – Interview on Kay Lalone's blog about SUFFER THE CHILDREN
I've got a few more guest posts coming up over the next few weeks, and I'm also off to FantasyCon in Scarborough next month. So watch this space!
The horror novel has not been going well so I've put it to one side while I work out how to fix it. I think none of the characters are working. Or the plot. In fact the only thing I'm happy with is the setting, so I think some major surgery is required for this time.
In the meantime, however, I'm happy to say I've started work on the fourth Shara Summers novel. This one takes her to New York city, and it has a provisional title of DEADLY SUMMER. Early days yet, but it's going quite well.
See you next month!
Monthly Round-Up: July 2016
(Cross-posted on the WriteClub blog)
It's the end of another month already. Where is this year going?
SUFFER THE CHILDREN is being released (well- re-released) by MuseItUp Publishing on 9 August. It's available for pre-order now.
SPOTLIGHT ON DEATH, the third Shara Summers novel, will be released some time in 2017.
I made a guest appearance on Barbara Ehrentreu's blog on 24 July debating the merits of e-books v print books. Barbara wants to do a poll on this topic, and it's not too late to stop by and post your views.
The WIP is really not going well. I am hoping to have something more positive to say next month.
And that's about it for this month. Enjoy your summer, and I'll catch up with you at the end of August.

Our Research
When a small amount of a second immiscible liquid is added to the continuous phase of a suspension, the rheological properties of the mixture are dramatically altered from a fluid-like to a gel-like state or weakly elastic to strongly elastic state, increasing the yield stress and viscosity by several orders of magnitude. This transition is attributed to the capillary forces of the two fluids on the solid particles.
The CapS research group studies the material properties of these as well as applications where this capillary suspension concept can be utilized. We investigate the properties of the induced particle network using microscopy techniques, where the network can be imaged in 3D and directly manipulated. Changes to the network are then connected to changes in the macroscopic material properties as measured using rheological techniques. This adjustable material response can then be used for the intelligent design of crack-free films as well as highly porous materials for filters and catalysts.

Federal R&D Budget Dashboard
Welcome to the AAAS Federal R&D Budget Dashboard, an interactive tool for exploring long-term federal funding trends within the context of the broader budget. The dashboard allows users to examine basic federal spending data by agency and/or by character of work over multiple decades in total dollars, as a share of the budget, and as a share of the U.S. economy.
NOTE: The federal definition of development has been revised. This impacts certain data series below. For more, click here.

To download data or save custom visualizations from the dashboard: You can save your visualizations by clicking the "download" button on the bottom-right, and you'll have the option to save as a PDF or an image file. To download specific data: select the data you want to grab in the visualization pane – either by clicking on and highlighting a specific time series, or by clicking-and-dragging across the visualization to highlight and select multiple series and/or data points – and click the "download" button on the bottom right. You'll have the option to download your selected data, or a complete crosstab.
Where does the data come from? Each budget cycle, federal agencies are required to tally and report detailed expenditures on R&D to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Since 1976, AAAS has compiled this data to assemble as complete a picture of government-wide R&D spending as possible. This data is supplemented by historical data published by OMB, and survey data published by the National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, which performs multi-sectoral surveys of R&D funders and performers throughout the year and is a valuable source of data.
