What was billed as the first annual "Law and Policy for Neighborhoods" conference got off to a good start Thursday, drawing more than 100 lawyers, planners, preservationists and neighborhood activists. Attorney Daniel Yohalem deftly moderated a discussion about the role of politics in land-use discussions.
WASHINGTON, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The European Union launched today a new and ambitious policy proposal for its relations with neighboring countries in Eastern Europe and the countries of the southern Mediterranean. The new policy, known as the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP), is a concrete response to the Arab Spring and the aspirations of the countries to the east of the European Union. It increases funding by 1.24 billion euros over the next two years, on top of the 5.7 billion euros already allocated for the period. The proposal, presented today by Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy hand European Commission Vice-President, and Stefan Fule, EU Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy, sets out the main pri...
The conservative group, its ranks swelled to about 200 for the first public appearance of Wake's new superintendent of schools, laughed at his jokes. (The most important criteria in the search process, [Anthony Tata] quipped, was that the choice "be non-controversial.") When he said he likes bass fishing, they offered him directions to the best fishing holes. They nodded as he said that he comes from a family of educators. They cheered when he told them that 100 percent of the proceeds from his military action novels is used to help wounded veterans at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. "I don't keep a dime of that money for myself," Tata said. There was just one thing Tata said that failed to meet the group's approval. He was asked by a nonmember about the WCTA's oppos...

Launched in Prague amid much fanfare in May 2009, the Eastern Partnership represents yet another attempt by the European Union to push for democracy and stability in the often tumultuous eastern borderland region. Targeting six countries in Eastern Europe and South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, and Belarus) the Partnership -- a brainchild of Sweden and Poland -- seeks to give a new lease on life to the eastern dimension of the European Union's ailing European Neighborhood Policy. What most undermines the Partnership is the failure of the European Union to agree on how and to what extent it should engage with its eastern neighbors.
Böröcz and Sarkar assert that the EU simply cannot qualify as a state as conceived by conventional definitions of statehood. Inthorn argues that there is no clear evidence to suggest that the citizens of Europe have adopted a European identity themselves to the extent that it becomes the main framework through which they interpret European integration. Cleutinx and Piper claim that the EU has been very active for many years in constructing a fully integrated EU-wide electricity and gas market. Aliboni holds that the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) is a part of the EU's foreign policy efforts aimed at strengthening its security with respect to the new neighboring countries resulting from enlargement.
My neighborhood gas station has a new policy; customers no longer can pump their gas and then walk inside to pay. Now it's mostly prepay by credit card at the pump. (Cardless customers have the option of going inside and paying cash but the number of people who still have enough cash in their pockets to pay for an entire tank of gas probably isn't worth mentioning). The new policy makes sense, I suppose. Service stations lose millions of dollars each year to "drive-offs," crooks who pump but don't pay.
GOT something on your mind? A beef with a city policy, a controversy brewing in your neighborhood? An "only in the Valley" kind of story to share? Good. Starting a week from Monday, we may have just the outlet for you: The Valley Voices page.
Confusing priorities at Clark College As a Clark College student, I find myself continually frustrated by overcrowded classrooms, the scarcity of parking, and outrageously long waits for student services. With student enrollment in the neighborhood of 16,000, an open enrollment policy, and the college aggressively marketing itself on the radio and through the mail, it doesnt look as though concerns about overenrollment will be addressed any time soon.
