...Par?s, Nueva York, Mosc?, Berl?n- la versi?n de Ram?rez tambi?n pasa por Buenos Aires, S?o Paulo, y Caracas, entre otros lugares. En su opini?n, el arte moderno en Latinoam?rica suele tener una dimensi?n pol?tica, algo que las usuales definiciones acad?micas del modernismo, con su ?nfasis en las cuestiones de forma, han tenido dificultad en admitir. Aunque Ram?rez tiene un Ph.D. de la Universidad de Chicago en historia del arte, dice que ?mis modelos de conducta nunca fueron los acad?micos. Vengo de una tradici?n donde los intelectuales y los artistas son parte de la esfera p?blica, donde participan en la formaci?n...
...Allowed to attend because of my seat on the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE), I had been warned not to expect much from faculty meetings: a few people nibbling on cookies beforehand, then the “memorial minutes” honoring deceased professors, and finally a few pro forma comments and shows of hands. But this spring, meetings became instead intense, intelligent discussions of how to fix poor management at the University.

COMPARE OPERATING AND GAAP EARNINGS One way to assess earnings quality is to compare two earnings calculations that usually appear in a company's earnings release and make sure they're not too far apart.

Those write-offs "may significantly weaken a balance sheet or impair a competitive business environment," Bianco says. "And they are likely...
...conflict-which the military has successfully portrayed as a noble battle for national unity rather than, as an Acehnese friend described to me from hiding, a ruthless campaign against a single ethnic group. The reaction overseas has been similarly muted. So far, protests from abroad have been pro forma or nonexistent or, in the case of Australian foreign minister Alexander Downer, who wholeheartedly threw his support behind the Aceh campaign only days after the Peusangan massacre, bordering on cold hearted. The U.S. is too anxious to maintain good relations with its war-on-terror allies to do anything but urge...
...across the Middle East this week is the noise of U.S. Mideast policy being slammed out of reverse and into first gear. Having spent most of the past three months with its arms folded, blaming Israeli-Palestinian violence almost entirely on Yasser Arafat and sparing Ariel Sharon even pro-forma calls for restraint, the Bush administration has lately been scrambling to reinvent itself as an even-handed activist mediator. The President on Wednesday castigated Sharon's tactics, sponsored a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a Palestinian state and sent Marine General Anthony Zinni back to Israel to pummel...
