For most of its post-Soviet history, Ukraine struggled to adapt to world markets while its nascent democracy provided a thin veneer for a self-serving political and economic elite. The tension between the centripetal pull of a resurgent Russia and the promise of new economic and political alliances with the West created a slow and equivocal path of development. The Orange Revolution of 2004 tipped this uneasy balance. After the 2006 round of parliamentary elections and several months of gridlock, the prime minister of the current government is none other than Viktor Yanukovych -- the same Russian-leaning candidate whose fraudulent electoral victory sparked the Orange Revolution. If Ukraine is to change its political culture, reforms must create a government that encourages consensus bui...
BEAVERCREEK -- When an artist decides to relocate her store, it might seem more than a little risky to reopen blocks from an international giant in the arts and crafts world. But Lorinda Hull, owner of Color Wheel Arts & Crafts, was undaunted.
White furniture, red walls.Mary Zook could only live with that for a year. Now her living room has been rolled a cool, soothing green."Its very calming," she said. "Its striking but it doesnt grab you. The red was beautiful, but it was too bold." Theres not a single beige wall anywhere in her Danvers home. That doesnt surprise Kay Lynch, a consultant at Bloomingtons Don Smith Paint & Wallpaper. Serene green is in. So is turquoise. And gold isnt going anywhere. In fact, its outselling beige.

Pittsburgh Paints has two different plans by which you can go about this. Their "Home Collection" brochures divide the color wheel into several different nature- and seasonally based palettes, like "Spring Garden," "Autumn Breeze," "Morning Light" and "Precious Stones." Connecting rooms through color is the inspiring tagline on each brochure, and in fact that's exactly what you want to do. Precious Stones" features somber earth tones, whereas "Spring Garden" features "blossom red and fragile pink," with "leafy greens and cheerful yellow."
