  5. Rodin, Auguste (Artchive.com)
      Provides a biography, as well as examples of some of his more famous works. Kirk Varnedoe provides an introduction. " 'It is true that Rodin's art makes overt reference to its own artificiality. When we say that his kind of realism was not seamless, we mean it: his sculptures often exposed the joint lines of the piece molds in which they were cast, as well as the "unfinished" marks of modeling and editing. Fragmentation and repetition functioned in the same way, as instances of the sculptor's processes made evident in his product.' "

  7. Camp David: The Tragedy of Errors (New York Review of Books)
      Reviews the book, Camp David: The Tragedy of Errors, by Agha and Malley. It provides a detailed explanation why Camp David negotiations failed. The failure of the negotiations led to the removal of Barak as Prime Minister and to the uprising of the Palestinians.

      "The Palestinians' overall behavior, when coupled with Barak's conviction that Arafat merely wanted to extract Israeli concessions, led to disastrous results. The mutual and by then deeply entrenched suspicion meant that Barak would conceal his final proposals, the 'endgame,' until Arafat had moved, and that Arafat would not move until he could see the endgame. Barak's strategy was predicated on the idea that his firmness would lead to some Palestinian flexibility, which in turn would justify Israel's making further concessions. Instead, Barak's piecemeal negotiation style, combined with Arafat's unwillingness to budge, produced a paradoxical result. By presenting early positions as bottom lines, the Israelis provoked the Palestinians' mistrust and by subsequently shifting them, they whetted the Palestinians' appetite. By the end of the process, it was hard to tell which bottom lines were for real, and which were not." 1-03

  8. 01-30-04 Poll: Bush and Kerry Tied - It's the Economy (Bloomberg.com)

  9. Loss of Jobs Dog Bush (CommonDreams.org)
      "On everything from shipping U.S. jobs overseas, to stripping worker protections, to rewarding companies for reducing health benefits for their employees, the Bush administration has racked up a spectacular record of exacerbating the already difficult economic challenges Americans are facing, said the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank founded by members of the administration of former President Bill Clinton."

      This week, the administration received sharp criticism over its approval of the growing trend of companies relocating U.S. Jobs overseas."

      Many of these firms move their production lines to developing countries, where they profit from cheaper labor cost. Many U.S. technology companies, for example, use Indian tech workers instead of their more expensive U.S. counterparts."

      "Late last week Democratic Senator Tom Daschle introduced a bill that would hamper the offshoring of jobs." 2-04

  10. Geometry (Wikipedia.org)
      "Geometry is the branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships. From experience, or possibly intuitively, people characterize space by certain fundamental qualities, which are termed axioms in geometry. Such axioms are insusceptible to proof, but can be used in conjunction with mathematical definitions for points, straight lines, curves, surfaces, and solids to draw logical conclusions."

  11. -12-23-04 Bush Gains Mysterious 5% From E-Touch Machines (NewsTarget.com)
      "Or, put another way, all the exit polls showed Kerry winning, and the exit polls asked people who they actually voted for. But strangely, the 'official' count appears to have been boosted in favor of Bush."

      "How was it boosted?"

      "Another burning question is surfacing: if this was such a record turnaround, with long lines all over the country, where did all the votes go? Because the vote totals don't show much of a difference from the 2000 election. It's as if a few million votes just vanished..." 12-04

  14. Oregon Implementation of the Help America Vote Act (Oregon Elections)
      Provides information on the Oregon implementation of HAVA. Oregon is the first state to implement a mail-in voting system. The Oregon system reduces opportunities for voter suppression (no long lines or queries at the polling stations), provides a paper ballot, and provides an opportunity for the individual voter and each political party to confirm if an individual's vote was received. Individuals and each political party can also determine which individuals are registered to vote well before the voting deadline.

      Oregon also conducts a county by county assessment of accessibility to the elections office for persons with disabilities.1-05

  17. Huge Federal Deficit Called a "Birth Tax" (Boston Globe)
      "A divided Senate approved an $800 billion increase in the federal debt limit yesterday, a major boost in borrowing that Senator John Kerry and other Democrats blamed on the fiscal policies of President Bush.

      The 52-44 vote, mostly along party lines, was expected to be followed by House passage today. Enactment would raise the government's borrowing limit to $8.18 trillion -- more than eight times the total federal debt that existed when President Reagan took office in 1981."

      " 'This can be called a birth tax, a birth tax that is dumped on the back of every American child unwillingly,' said Kerry, who voted against the borrowing increase." 2-05

  18. Method Found to Mass-Produce Embryonic Stem Cells (I-Newswire.com)
      "That's important because traditional laboratory methods used to grow these cells are costly and don't produce cells fast enough to respond to increasing demands for human embryonic stem cells, said Shang-Tian Yang, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio State University."

      "Federal rules forbid the federal funding of research on human embryonic stem cell lines that aren't listed on the National Institutes of Health's Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry. There are currently 22 embryonic stem cell lines on the registry, and the demand for these cells is steadily growing."

      " 'We have to find a way to mass-produce them because traditional cell culturing methods can't meet the projected high market demand for stem cells,' Yang said."

      "He and Anli Ouyang, a doctoral student in chemical engineering, grew mouse embryonic stem cells in a bioreactor. Cell growth increased 193-fold in 15 days. At the end of that period, cell density - the number of cells that had grown in the bioreactor - was anywhere from 10- to 100-fold higher than the number of stem cells produced by conventional laboratory methods. That's several hundreds of millions more stem cells." 3-05

  19. -04-27-05 House Passes Limits on Abortion (MSNBC News)
