Congratulations! You have just been elected to the village council. Unfortunately, you are not yet an expert in land-use policy, economic development, agricultural development or roads and corridor issues. What are you going to do? "You need to get a fast education on community development," suggests Timothy Cullenen of Cornell University's Community and Rural Development (CaRDI) program. Learning quickly online is now possible at , a new Web site developed by faculty and researchers at CaRDI and Pennsylvania State University's Cooperative Extension division. The education site went online this month. (January 23, 2002)

We all know of great scholars, said President Hunter Rawlings at the Beacon Theatre on Manhattan's Upper West Side. And we all know of great teachers. But to find in one person, Walter LaFeber, the greatest of scholars and of teachers, he continued -- that is a remarkable thing.
NEW ORLEANS -- In recent years chemists and materials scientists have enthusiastically searched for ways to make materials with nanoscale pores -- channels comparable in size to organic molecules -- that could be used, among other things, to separate proteins by size. Recently Cornell University researchers developed a method to "self-assemble" such structures by using organic polymers to guide the formation of ceramic structures. Now they have advanced another step by incorporating tiny magnetic particles of iron oxide into the walls of porous ceramic structures in a simple "one-pot" self-assembly. Such materials could be used to separate proteins tagged with magnetic materials, or in catalytic processes. (March 21, 2003)
Cornell and the Redbud Woods protesters have reached an agreement on building the replacement parking lot on West Campus. The university will assume additional responsibilities as a result of this agreement and is satisfied that the resolution of this situation is a positive development for all concerned.
